Hi Vibe Hardware crew in Barbados heat is the biggest problem with agriculture so I made a coop ledger that keeps track of various things you would need to keep track of on a chicken farm including temperature.

Amazing idea!
Virtual library (competition entry)
My 2 eldest kids (10 and 14) are obsessed with books and their shelves are overflowing. I want to use technology that is away from their phones, to encourage an offline and valuable hobby. The plan is to have an antique hardback book, hollow out the middle (like the old secret stash books), and mount a small waveshare screen in the front cover (in a hole) and a small barcode scanner. I may use a blackberry style trackball for navigation or a touchscreen - not decided yet. The concept is a device where my kids scan the barcode of a book that they start reading, and the. Oil details (author, description, cover art) are pulled via an API, and loaded to their “reading” list, when they finish they mark it as “read” give it a star rating, and over time a database (probably supabase Postgresql), builds a library of their books which they can sort by genre and rating and get recommendations (via a lightweight LLM call connected to a read only database connection) for what to read next. Software I am ok with having vibe coded a few business apps and this would be my second piece of hardware, the first being a simple business dashboard tool which was limited hardware and more software work. The cost depends on a few things but likely parts list: Waveshare screen - £15-25 depending on whether I go for one with an integrated ESP32 ESP32 - depends on above but if needed c.£15 Barcode scanner - £20 Trackball (if required) -£18 Book - £5 (Charity shop!) Battery - £15 Total cost between 70-89 per device although may need more bits and pieces that I’m not aware of yet! What someone think?!

Love combining books with AI. One of my first custom GPTs was designed for book reading. When I came across a passage I liked, I would take a photo. The custom GPT would take the photos, pull out the text, and create a custom set of notes for me that I would later put into Obsidian. Earlier today, saw someone post about using the Jev model to help them identify book recs based on what they've read. Also saw a post where someone had created a virtual 3D library that looked fun for browsing and exploring books. Good luck building!
