the seal
Definition
The Seal is oriz-journal's signature animation — the only motion in
the app — that visualises an entry being encrypted and committed to
storage, treating the act of sealing the journal as a physical
metaphor for the encryption.
Expanded
oriz-journal is the private journaling PWA at journal.oriz.in.
Its v2 design budget allows exactly one motion element; The Seal is
it. When the user finishes an entry and saves, The Seal animates
closed, signaling that the entry has been encrypted (per the journal's
local-first encryption model) and is now at rest.
Everywhere else in the journal is intentionally still — the absence of motion is the design.
