kommdigital.ch

A ten-minute self-check that shows public administrations where they stand on digital.

For GÜNTHARD. Politumsetzung, Prof. Dr. Jan vom Brocke and momou, I designed and built kommdigital.ch in one codebase: interface, server logic and data.

01 Context

Context

Swiss cantons and the federal administration are under pressure: topics spread faster, expectations rise, resources are tight. kommdigital.ch is the entry point: a status check with a traffic light and two concrete next steps, free and in ten minutes.

02 Process

No handover between design and code.

A self-check lives on states: empty answers, “don’t know”, three traffic-light colours, mobile, long administrative wording. Design and implementation happened in the same place, so every state was tested in the browser with real typography, real spacing and real content. What was designed is what shipped.

Example code: one component defines typography, spacing and states

One component, one source of truth

Simplified excerpt

03 The check

17 statements, three dimensions, one traffic light.

Communication (7), organisation (4) and tools (6). Four possible answers, including “don’t know”, which deliberately counts as a valid answer. The traffic light appears instantly, followed by a personal assessment as a PDF.

04 Design

Calm, clear, fit for public administration.

Little colour, generous whitespace, the traffic light as the only signal. Typography: PP Neue Montreal and KMR Apparat.

05 Under the hood

Under the hood

Interface, server logic and data, built by one studio. No account needed, only an email address; data hosted in Switzerland, deleted on request.

Architecture: browser, Next.js and a managed database, hosted and deployed on Deploio

06 How I build

AI does the heavy lifting. I own four decisions.

I build with my own AI-assisted workflow. The idea is sharpened first, then written as a spec with user stories and acceptance criteria. An agent builds test-first, ticket by ticket, and every user story is then verified independently, including automated browser testing (Chrome DevTools). I approve the spec, the architecture, the plan and the release. Nothing ships without evidence.

One piece of work, four gates.

Work with nanquim

Planning a digital tool for your organisation?

I design and build it in one go, from the first screen to the database.

nanquim is the Portuguese term for black ink (Indian ink) and has a strong creative and artistic association.

It symbolizes precision, creativity, and the origin of design processes, as many early drafts were made with ink on paper.

nanquim é a palavra portuguesa para tinta preta (indian ink) e tem uma forte associação criativa e artística.

Ela simboliza precisão, criatividade e a origem dos processos de design, já que muitos projetos antigamente eram feitos com tinta sobre papel.

nanquim ist die portugiesische Bezeichnung für schwarze Tinte (indian ink) und hat eine starke kreative und künstlerische Assoziation.

Es symbolisiert Präzision, Kreativität und den Ursprung von Designprozessen, da viele Entwürfe früher mit Tinte auf Papier entstanden sind.
