Seamless Sharing,
Storing and Interacting
The core power of SwatchEditor lies in its sharing capabilities and intuitive library system. It acts as your dynamic:
​
1. Collaborative Online Library
Organise and store all your designs in one secure, accessible digital library. It functions as a central archive of all your digital twins and surface patterns.
2. Interactive Sharing (The "Floating Library")
Share your work effortlessly via unique, interactive links. The recipient gets immediate access to a "floating library" of artwork that they can flick through and interact with at their leisure.
Recipients can store these links in their own dedicated area within the app for viewing at any time, streamlining the feedback loop between designers, agents, and clients (e.g., costume designers sharing ideas).
3. Integration & Web Store
When SwatchEditor is integrated into a web store, it becomes a powerful sales tool. Users can log in and test their own patterns against the website's garments, enhancing the customisation experience for crafting communities, fashion brands, and trade shows seeking to digitise their trading areas.
SwatchEditor helps reduce reliance on physical samples, fostering a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to textile production and design.
