MoveMate — Moving Planner Web App Case Study
One calm place to plan a move: checklist, task tracker, cost estimator, and timeline — no scattered notes, no spreadsheet chaos.
01 // The problem
Moving fails on small details
Packing, budgeting, booking transport, changing addresses — a move is a hundred small tasks scattered across notes, spreadsheets, and random reminders. Without one structured plan, the stress compounds exactly when there is no time left.
02 // The solution
A real product, not a marketing page
MoveMate brings the checklist, task tracker, cost estimator, and timeline into one calm tool. Clear structure over decorative bloat: readable contrast, tactile interactions, and modules that feel like they belong to a single product system.

The estimator and the checklist below run the same interaction model as the app: sliders with instant itemized math, and a phased checklist with persistent-feeling progress.

04 // Core challenge
Beating AI Slop Syndrome
Generated interfaces look clean until you use them: mismatched cards, dead states, no system. The fix was unglamorous — spacing rhythm, one type scale, shared tokens, responsive rules — until every module read as one product.
One checklist language
Same checkbox, same spacing, every phase.
One money language
Itemized tally with units on every row.
One timeline language
Phases connect; progress is always visible.
Refinement = tokens, spacing rhythm, shared states — the sandbox widgets above run this system
