What I Built

In Nigeria, "fake alert" is a household phrase. A customer says "I don send am", a message lands on the trader's phone, and the goods leave the shop. The message came from a fake-alert app that can print any bank's SMS with any amount. The money never arrives.

Banks give the right advice: check your account, not the message. But at 6pm, with five customers waiting and an alert every minute, nobody opens a banking app for every sale.

Alertproof checks the alert for you, in the few seconds you have. Paste or share the alert (or photograph the customer's "Transfer Successful" screen) and it answers in big letters, out loud, in English or Pidgin:

PAID: money don land.
NO RELEASE: don't hand over the goods, with the exact reason.
CAN'T TELL: there isn't enough to prove it, so check your bank app first.

It rests on one observation. A fraudster can copy everything about an alert except your balance. Every real alert shows your new balance, and it has to equal your last balance plus the amount, to the kobo. The fake-alert app has to guess that number. Alertproof keeps the chain of your real balances on your device, and arithmetic catches the guess.

08:14  CR  +₦4,500    Bal ₦56,810.50   ✓  56,810.50
08:52  CR  +₦1,200    Bal ₦58,010.50   ✓  = 56,810.50 + 1,200
09:30  DR  −₦12,500   Bal ₦45,510.50   ✓  = 58,010.50 − 12,500
11:22  CR  +₦25,000   Bal ₦264,870.20  ✗  should be ₦70,510.50 → NO RELEASE

Who pays for it: provisions stalls, phone shops, pharmacies, POS agents counting out cash against a transfer, and Instagram sellers who dispatch after "payment". The plan is free forever on your own laptop, ₦1,500 a month for phone-only shops, and ₦10,000 a month for a market association. One stopped ₦25,000 fake pays for sixteen months.

Demo

The video is a real walkthrough of the live site: the landing page, the demo shop, then Setup and a real check with Gemma reading the alert. It's narrated in Nigerian English, and the app's own voice speaks Pidgin.

Try it in a minute: open alertproof.tech/app.html?demo. There's no sign-up and nothing to install. It opens a demo shop, Ngozi Eze Provisions, with six real-format GTBank alerts from this morning already in its book. Then play the customers one by one:

Real transfer: PAID.
Fake alert: NO RELEASE, with the numbers that don't add up.
Old alert sent again: NO RELEASE.
Someone else's account: NO RELEASE.
Customer shows a screenshot: WAIT FOR ALERT. Its session ID checks out, but a screenshot still isn't money.
Fake screenshot: NO RELEASE. The receipt was edited, and its session ID gives it away.

Here's what the answers look like on a phone:

The landing page also has a small game, Spot the fake: five situations from the counter where you pick the real alert. It's harder than it sounds. One of them is off by seventy-five kobo.

Check a Nigerian bank alert before you release the goods. Open-weight Gemma reads it; your balance chain and the transfer's session ID decide. Hacktoberfest 2026 Side Hustle.

Alertproof

A fake alert can copy your bank's words. It can't know your balance.

Alertproof checks a bank alert before a trader hands over the goods. Gemma, an open-weight model, reads the alert (any bank's SMS, app notification or email, or a customer's "Transfer Successful" screenshot) on the trader's own device. Then plain code decides:

Grounding (lib/ground.js): every number Gemma read must be written in the alert. Anything else is thrown away, and Gemma is asked once more, told which values were wrong.
The balance chain (lib/chain.js): each genuine alert's balance equals the last balance plus the amount. A fraudster can fake the sender, the wording and the amount, but not the trader's balance.
Format fingerprint (lib/fingerprint.js): how the trader's real alerts are written (labels, currency, date shape). This is supporting evidence only.

The verdict is one of three:

Verdict	When
PAID	The balance

…

View on GitHub

No npm dependencies: plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, IndexedDB, a service worker, and Gemma through Ollama (or hosted Gemma 4 through one small serverless function).

How I Built It

The model reads. Arithmetic decides.

I wanted Gemma to do what it is good at, and nothing it shouldn't be trusted with.

Nigerian banks all word their alerts differently. GTBank writes Avail Bal: NGN87,450.20. Zenith writes Bal:87,450.20 under a masked account like 0134521. UBA appends CR to the balance even on debits. OPay sends a sentence. Emails arrive as long HTML notifications. A regular expression per bank breaks the day a bank changes its template, and they do. So Gemma 3 4B reads the alert into one JSON schema: bank, credit or debit, amount, balance, account digits, reference, time.

Then three pieces of plain code take over:

Grounding (lib/ground.js). Every number Gemma returns must be written in the alert. So must the bank name, and the credit/debit has to agree with the alert's own words. Anything else is thrown away, and Gemma gets one retry that names the values it invented.
The balance chain (lib/chain.js). Direction, account, replay and balance. Only when all four pass does it say PAID.
A format fingerprint (lib/fingerprint.js). This learns how your bank writes its alerts (labels, currency token, date shape) and warns when a "GTBank" alert uses labels your real GTBank alerts never use. It's supporting evidence only, because banks do change formats.

The model never says whether money is real. It can misread; it can't say PAID.

Grounding earned its keep on day one

The first alert I gave Gemma was a Zenith SMS with the account masked as 0134521. Gemma confidently returned the account as 45421, gluing the visible digit groups together. Grounding threw it away. On other alerts it returned the bank as "Acct" (the first label it saw) and called a GTBank alert "OPay". The 1B model labelled a credit as a debit, which is why credit/debit now has to be backed by the alert's own words.

Screenshots are not money

For a customer's "Transfer Successful" screenshot, Gemma's vision reads the recipient, account, amount and status. Alertproof checks the money was sent to your account and business name, and then refuses to call it paid. Instead it tells you exactly what your real alert must say: "CR ₦15,000 · Avail Bal ₦92,160.50". The payment goes on a waiting list, and when that alert arrives it turns green by itself. A number on a picture can't be grounded against text, so Alertproof only uses it to know which alert to wait for.

Real receipts carry their own lie detector

The first time I tested Alertproof on a real payment I'd received, it was a Moniepoint "Transaction Details" screen. The verdict was a feeble "wait for alert", and pasting the same text crashed the online reader. Looking at the real receipt fixed both, because it was carrying something I'd ignored: a Session ID.

Session ID   090645 261016191057 403015967666
             │      │            └ unique number
             │      └ 26-10-16 19:10:57, when the transfer happened
             └ 090645: the sending bank's NIBSS code (Nombank MFB)

Every NIP interbank transfer in Nigeria has one, and the receipt prints the time and the bank right next to it. Fake-receipt generators and edited screenshots rarely keep all three consistent. So lib/session.js decodes the ID and checks it against the receipt:

The date inside the ID has to be possible. Month 13 or hour 26 means it was typed by hand.
The time inside the ID has to match the time printed on the receipt. Apps show Nigerian time while some banks stamp the ID in UTC, so exactly one hour apart is allowed and nothing else.
The bank code has to belong to a bank the receipt names.

My real receipt passes all three: 19:10:57 in the ID, 20:10 on the screen, Nombank on both. Change the time to 14:35, or move the receipt to another day, or bump ₦21,907 to ₦121,907 without regenerating the ID, and the verdict is NO RELEASE: "the session ID says the transfer happened 16 Oct 2026, 19:10:57, but the receipt shows 14:35." None of this needs a model. Gemma reads the screenshot, and arithmetic on its own digits decides. A receipt can still never be PAID, because it isn't the trader's balance. But now a forged one is caught on the spot, instead of only after the alert never arrives.

Gemma once, then instant

My laptop has no graphics card, so Gemma 3 4B takes about 38 seconds to read an alert. That's fine for a test, and useless with a customer waiting.

The fix came from looking at what a trader's alerts actually are: the same one or two banks, in the same layout, all day. So the first time Gemma reads an alert in a layout, and grounding confirms every value, Alertproof remembers the words that sit just before each value (Avail Bal: NGN, Amt:, Acct:). The next alert in that layout is read by finding those words: 0.06 milliseconds instead of 38 seconds. That reading goes through exactly the same grounding and balance chain.

Two rules keep it honest. A learned layout is kept only if re-reading the alerts it learned from gives exactly what Gemma read. And anything that doesn't fit the layout exactly, like a new bank, a changed template, or a debit worded differently, goes back to Gemma, which then teaches that layout too. "Teach it your alerts" in Setup does all of this before the first customer arrives.

Gemma is still the reason it works. It turns a layout nobody has written a parser for into one Alertproof can read, for any bank, without me writing a regular expression per bank.

Built for a counter, not a desk

Share to check: the app is an installable PWA with an Android share target, so you long-press the SMS, tap Share, and the check starts.
Voice: the verdict is spoken. In Pidgin: "No release am. This alert no follow your balance."
Today's book: every checked payment, which fakes were stopped and why, and whether the chain is unbroken.

Offline: the shell is cached, and with Gemma on a laptop no network is needed. SMS still arrives when data doesn't.
Never an error at the counter: if Gemma can't answer (no network, or the hosted model is busy or down), a backup reader reads the common labels (Amount, Avail Bal, Acct) with plain rules, and its numbers go through the same grounding and balance chain. It's a safety net, not a replacement: it read 80 of 80 synthetic alerts and 31 of 31 real ones, but only Gemma can read a layout nobody wrote a rule for. A customer is never left waiting on an error message.

Does it actually work? 70 alerts, measured

I built eval/run.mjs to answer that with numbers instead of a demo. There are 10 alert formats: SMS, push and email, modelled on GTBank, Access, Zenith, UBA, First Bank, OPay, Moniepoint and PalmPay. Three of them never appear in any prompt example. For each format, the trader already has a morning of genuine alerts in their book, and then 7 new alerts arrive: two genuine credits (one with kobo), a debit, a fake with an invented balance, a fake with a round balance, an alert for someone else's account, and a real alert from earlier sent again.

Gemma 3 4B ran on my laptop, which has no graphics card.

	Run 1	After the fix
Invented-balance fakes released	0 of 20	0 of 20
Replayed alerts stopped	10 of 10	10 of 10
Genuine payments proven PAID	20 of 20	20 of 20
Genuine payments wrongly blocked	0	0
"Someone else's account" fakes released	4 of 10	2 of 10
Amount and balance read correctly	70 of 70	70 of 70
Median seconds per alert, Gemma on CPU	39.6	37.9

Then the learned layouts: Gemma read one genuine alert per format, and Alertproof learned each layout from that single reading. It then read the other 60 alerts with no model: 56 of 60 read instantly (median 0.06 ms), 0 wrong amounts, balances or directions, and every verdict matched the Gemma path. The 4 that didn't fit (mostly debits, worded differently from credits) went back to Gemma. The only fakes that got through were the same two no-account cases explained below.

What it got wrong

Run 1 released 4 fakes, and all four were the same kind: an alert for someone else's account that also carried the trader's exact balance (the worst case, where the attacker somehow knows your balance). In Zenith SMS and Access emails, the alert shows only two digits of the account (0187632). My grounding check demanded three, so it threw away correct readings and the account check was skipped. I changed it to accept two digits when they come straight after a mask, keeping only the digits the alert actually shows. Re-running those formats: both Zenith and Access-email fakes are now stopped, and all 14 re-run cases came out right, with no new false alarms.

The other two can't be fixed from the alert alone. OPay and PalmPay notifications don't show your account number at all. If such an alert also has your exact balance to the kobo, nothing in it can tell it apart from a real one. In practice that requires someone who has seen your latest alert, so the app and the site say plainly: keep your alerts private.

Then I tested it on real alerts

Synthetic alerts only prove so much, so I ran Alertproof on my own bank: 31 genuine Zenith Bank alert emails from two accounts, 2024 to 2025, pulled from my inbox. They stay on my laptop and only the counts are published. eval/real.mjs reads them exactly the way the app does. The real balance chain grades every reading, and each real credit is turned into three fakes: the same email with a forged balance, an older real alert sent again, and the same alert with another account's digits.


Real alerts read	31
Amount, balance and credit/debit all read right	31 of 31
Read by Gemma (first alert of a layout, or one that didn't fit)	1, median 24.2 s
Read instantly from a learned layout	30, median 0.22 ms
Balance links that add up exactly	14 of 29
Links with a gap (the bank changed the balance without an alert)	15, of which 5 within ₦100 (interest, small charges)
Real credits, against the chain as emailed	6 PAID, 2 CAN'T TELL, 7 NO RELEASE
Real credits, after setting the balance from the app once	15 of 15 PAID
Fakes with an invented balance stopped	15 of 15
Old alerts sent again stopped	15 of 15
Alerts with another account's digits stopped	15 of 15

Gemma read exactly one email. Alertproof learned Zenith's table layout from it and read the other 30 in a fifth of a millisecond, all correct.

The real data also taught me two things the synthetic set couldn't:

Banks move your balance without telling you. ₦13.81 of interest arrived with no email, and ₦32 of charges left the same way. My first rule called any surplus NO RELEASE, so a genuine payment would have been blocked over thirteen naira. Now a difference within ₦100 either way is CAN'T TELL (check your app). A fraudster can't guess your balance to within ₦100 any more than to the kobo.
Alert emails have gaps. Some months, credits arrived with no email at all. Against the chain as emailed, 7 genuine credits got NO RELEASE, because from the outside a payment after a missing alert looks exactly like a fake. That's the safe answer, and the message now says so: either it's fake or an alert since then is missing: check your bank app, then set your balance. After that one reset, 15 of 15 genuine credits were PAID.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

The secret that protects you can't go to someone else's cloud. The entire check works because nobody else knows your balance. A tool that ships every alert and balance to a third-party API hands over the one number that protects the trader. With open-weight Gemma on the shop's own laptop, the alerts never leave it.

₦0 per check is what makes it a business. A provisions stall can afford ₦1,500 a month. It can't afford a fee per alert on fifty alerts a day. Local Gemma costs nothing per check, and the hosted fallback is a small open model, not a frontier API.

It works when the network doesn't. Data drops; SMS still arrives. On a laptop, Alertproof reads and checks with the network off.

I could measure and change everything. Open weights let me run the exact same model, prompt and decoding over 70 cases in Node, read every answer, and change the grounding rules where the numbers told me to. When banks change their formats, the same harness tells me what broke, and the model can be swapped or fine-tuned on Nigerian alerts without asking anyone.

Where a closed model would be better: the first reading of a brand-new layout. A hosted frontier model reads one in about two seconds; Gemma on a CPU-only laptop takes about forty. But that happens once per layout, before the shop opens, and every alert after that is under a millisecond, which no API call can match. For phone-only shops, the online Gemma 4 option reads a new layout in a few seconds and stores nothing.

My First User

The first real user was me, with my own money.

I ran Alertproof on 31 genuine alert emails from my own two Zenith Bank accounts, going back to 2024. It read all 31 correctly, and it stopped all 45 fakes I made from them: forged balances, old alerts sent again, and another account's digits.

Then I tested it at my own counter. A payment of ₦21,907 came in through Moniepoint from a real customer. I checked the transaction screenshot in Alertproof, and its session ID matched the time and the sending bank. When I edited the same receipt's time and amount, Alertproof said NO RELEASE straight away.

That test also exposed real bugs. Pasting the receipt text crashed the online reader. A long PalmPay email failed. On my phone, the header pushed the logo off the screen. Each one is fixed, and Alertproof now falls back to a built-in reader instead of ever showing an error.

I've sent the link to traders and POS agents around me. Their feedback will be added here as it comes in.

Prize Categories

Best Use of Gemma. Gemma 3 4B reads every alert locally through Ollama, and Gemma 4 reads alerts and customer screenshots in the hosted fallback. All of it is grounded and measured over 70 cases, and most of this post is about making a small model's readings safe enough to protect someone's money.

Best Use of a .tech Domain. Alertproof lives at alertproof.tech: the landing page, the demo shop, the app and the online Gemma reader, with www redirecting to it.

Touch Grass, Not Glass: a camera that only works outside

Elev 💥 — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 06:28:10 +0000

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass

What I Built

Every "go outside" app I've tried has the same problem. It's an app, so it wants you to look at it. There's a map, a feed, a streak, a little badge, and before you know it you're standing in a lovely park staring at your phone.

So I tried to build the opposite. Touch Grass, Not Glass is a camera that only works outside, and it won't show you anything until you get home.

It works a bit like a disposable film camera with a naturalist living inside it.

At home, you tell it where you're going (a park, a trail, your garden, the street, the river) and Gemma 3, running on my own laptop, writes you six small things to find. They fit the month and the time of day. On my first try it gave me "Find and photograph a single, fallen maple leaf displaying vibrant red hues" and "Locate and capture the texture of rough bark on an ancient oak tree."

Outside, the screen goes almost black. You see one quest at a time, it reads it out loud, and there's one button: "I found it". You take the photo and the next quest shows up. There's no preview and no feed, and no way to check if the photo "counted". You put the phone back in your pocket and keep walking.

Back home, you develop the roll. Gemma looks at each photo, writes down what it sees, decides whether you actually found the thing, and gives the frame a little specimen title and a two line field note. Each one gets stamped FOUND or NOT QUITE, and the whole walk turns into a page in your field journal.

The app keeps one number: how many minutes you spent with the screen off. No streaks, no leaderboard, no likes. The less you look at it, the better you did.

I made it for people who know they should get outside more but want a small reason to go, and a reason to look a bit closer once they're there. Kids on a walk, people who like to wander, and honestly, me.

The one rule I kept coming back to was that the app should get quieter the closer you get to going outside. The home screen is warm paper and serif type. Loading the film dims everything. Field mode is nearly black with a single sentence on it. You only get colour and photos back once you're home.

Demo

This is Sam, on day 47 of "just five more minutes". I made this short film to show the idea.

Live site: https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app (it has the film, an FAQ and docs)

The camera itself: https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/app.html

You don't need to install anything to try it. Open the camera on your phone, take a short walk, and develop the roll when you're back. If your computer doesn't run Gemma, an online darkroom does the work with Gemma 4, the newest open Gemma, so you get your own quests and your own field notes in a few seconds. If you only have a minute, tap "See a real roll developed by Gemma" to open my walk from this morning and replay the darkroom.

The film is a cartoon, but the app in it is real. The screens on Sam's phone and laptop are screenshots of the actual app, and the quest on the phone and the laptop's "Frame four: a large, dark snail!" line are real Gemma output from my machine. I put the film together with open tools too. The 3D world is Three.js, the voices are Piper (an open source text to speech model that runs offline), and the music and sound effects are about 300 lines of Python.

One honest note: the polaroids use CC licensed sample photos from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the film and on the site. I was building this around midnight, and there wasn't any daylight left to go shoot my own.

I built this for the DEV Hacktoberfest 2026 Open-Source AI Challenge, week 1, Touch Grass.

How it works

At home you load the film. You pick where you're going, and Gemma 3 (running locally through Ollama) writes six quests that fit the month, the time of day and the place.

Outside, the screen goes nearly black. You see one quest at a time, it gets read out loud, and there's a single "I found it" button. No preview and no feed. It works with no signal at all.

Back home you develop…

View on GitHub

There are no npm dependencies. It's plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, a service worker, IndexedDB, and a local Ollama server doing the AI part.

How I Built It

The model is Gemma 3 4B, running through Ollama on a laptop with no graphics card. Mine only has integrated Intel graphics, so Gemma runs on the CPU at about six tokens a second.

That speed was the first big problem, and it ended up shaping the whole idea. Developing one photo takes about two minutes on my machine (between 111 and 127 seconds in the sample roll). If the app checked every photo live, you'd be standing on the trail watching a loading spinner, which is exactly the kind of screen staring I wanted to get rid of. So I copied what film cameras did. You shoot now and develop later. Once I made that choice, the slow model wasn't a problem anymore. It was the reason the screen gets to stay dark. You come home, tap Develop, put the kettle on, and the roll comes in one frame at a time.

Two darkrooms

The darkroom can run in two places, and both use exactly the same prompts (they live in one small file that both sides import).

On my laptop it's Gemma 3 4B through Ollama. Everything stays on my own devices, and it takes about two minutes a photo.

For everyone else there's an online darkroom: a tiny serverless function on Vercel that sends the same prompts to Gemma hosted by Google. Google hosts Gemma 4 now, the 26B mixture of experts version with about 4B parameters active, so it writes quests in about four seconds and develops a photo in about eight. The API key stays on the server and the function stores nothing. The app always tries your own computer first, tells you which darkroom it's using, and you can switch the online one off in Settings.

Getting Gemma 4 to answer quickly took one trick. It thinks before it answers, and on my first tries it spent its whole budget thinking and never wrote the quests. Setting its thinking level to minimal brought quest writing from over two minutes down to four seconds.

Two prompts

There are two prompts, and both ask for structured output. Locally, Ollama's format field takes a JSON schema; online, the API is asked for JSON only. You pass a JSON schema in the format field and Gemma always answers with data the app can read.

The first one writes quests. It gets the month, the time of day and where you're going, and it has to return exactly six one sentence quests. I asked for things you can find in under ten minutes, that are safe, that leave nature alone, and that mix plants, animal signs, light and the season.

The second one is the darkroom. It gets one photo and the quest that went with it, and returns an observation, whether it matches, a confidence, a title, a field note and a species guess.

The order of those fields turned out to matter a lot. My first version asked for the verdict first. Gemma once told me a purple gradient wallpaper was "something natural with two colors", then explained in its own field note why it wasn't. When I moved the observation to the top, so the model has to describe the picture before it judges it, the answers got a lot more sensible.

A few smaller things make it work outside. A service worker caches the whole app, fonts included, so field mode opens with no signal at all. Photos get shrunk to 768 pixels on the phone and stored in IndexedDB, and nothing gets uploaded. If there's no model around when you load film, say you're already at the trailhead, the quests come from a small built in deck instead. And if you walk with your phone but develop on your laptop, you can export the roll as one file and import it on the laptop.

The "screen off" timer uses the Page Visibility API. It only counts the time the field screen was actually showing, and compares that with how long the walk took.

What Gemma Got Wrong

The sample roll on the landing page is Gemma's output exactly as it came out, and it got two things wrong.

One quest asked for a snail and my photo was of a slug. Gemma titled the frame "Black Slug on Stone", then described "a large, dark snail" anyway and stamped it FOUND. It also called a black Eurasian red squirrel an Eastern Gray Squirrel.

I could have kept tweaking the prompt until the demo looked perfect, but I'd rather show what it really does. A 4B model on a laptop isn't a field guide, and the app doesn't pretend it is. The journal always shows what the model saw, and the prompt asks it to say "uncertain" instead of making up a species. Because the model is open, I can also do something about it. I can switch to the 12B version with one setting, or fine tune a model on the plants and animals around where I live.

I Took It Outside

On the morning of October 6 I walked my own street, along the side paths that lead off to the other streets. There's no park near me, just houses, a road and a few trees, so I picked Streets in the app.

Seeing the screen go dark and hearing the mission read out loud was a wonderful thing to see.

In about six minutes I took four photos: my shadow on the pavement, a pawpaw tree, some weeds against a brick wall, and grass growing where the wall meets the ground. I skipped two missions, a plant in a pot and a small creature, because I couldn't find them around me.

My glass-free score was 12%. That's honest: I kept the screen on to read each mission instead of putting the phone away.

What stayed with me was the pawpaw tree, its big leaves moving in the wind.

Back home, Gemma developed the roll on my laptop. It named the pawpaw correctly (Carica papaya). My "fallen leaf" photo was really weeds against a wall, and Gemma stamped it NOT QUITE and said it would look for fallen leaves next time. Fair enough.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

Honestly, this project wouldn't work with a closed API.

It has to work where the grass is, and parks and trails are exactly where the signal drops. With an open model, "the cloud" is a laptop in my living room, and the walking part doesn't need a network at all.

Your walks can stay yours. A roll of photos is a record of where you went and when. Run Gemma on your own computer and those photos never leave your devices. I also added an online darkroom so people without a computer can try it, and I'm upfront about the trade: those photos go to Google's hosted Gemma to be developed, nothing is stored, and you can turn it off. Because the model is open, you get to choose. With a closed API there would be no local option at all.

It's free. No API key, no charge per photo, no subscription. A kid with an old laptop someone passed down to them can run the whole darkroom.

And I can change it. Swapping the model is one text box: the 12B Gemma on a stronger machine, Gemma 3n for something lighter, or LLaVA. The prompts all live in one small file anyone can read.

The funny part is that running my own model gave me the best idea in the project. With a fast cloud API I would have built yet another app that names your photo on the spot. Because my model was slow, I built a darkroom instead, and the darkroom is what keeps you off the screen.

My Agent Session

I built this with Claude Code as my pair programmer, and this is the full session. You can see the plan change when we found out my laptop had no GPU, the moment the slow model turned into the darkroom idea, the first time Gemma called the slug a snail, and the voxel film coming together frame by frame.

This week's theme is Touch Grass: build something with open-source AI at its core that gets people off the screen and into the world. Hiking, gardening, birding, run clubs, fall foliage: if it gets someone outside, it counts.

This year's Hacktoberfest is all about open-source AI and open-weight models. To participate, build a brand-new project and write about it on DEV. You can run an open-weight model, build on an open-source agent framework, run inference locally, or all three. They most important part? Tell us why open innovation matters for what you built.

TAKE ME TO THE CHALLENGE
Free credits: several partners are giving participants credits and promo codes, including Tinker, Render, Backboard, and ElevenLabs. Claim yours at hacktoberfest.com/my.

Winners will be announced the week of October 12.

GOOD LUCK!

Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass Submission 🌿
Week 1 of our five Hacktoberfest DEV Challenges starts today! Running through October 11, the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge: Week 1 gives you a full week to build.
**This year's Hacktoberfest is all about building brand-new projects with open-source AI and open-weight models. Here's everything you need to know about Hacktoberfest 2026.
Missed the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge? No problem. Every challenge is a fresh start, so you're competing on the same footing as everyone else.
This week, we'll select one overall winner and a winner in each of our 16 partner categories. See all five challenges and every partner category on the HF26 DEV Challenge Hub.
Let's get to it!
This week's theme: Touch Grass
Build something with open-weight models or open-source AI that gets people off the screen and into the world.
That can mean running an open-weight model, building on an open-source agent harness or framework, running inference locally, or all three. Whatever you pick, the open pieces should be what makes your project work.
Hiking, gardening, birding, run clubs, fall foliage: if it gets someone outside, it counts. The best builds here should make the screen the shortest part of the experience. A few ideas to get you going:

A bird call identifier that works on the trail with no signal
A garden planner that tells you what to plant this week based on your local frost dates
A run club route builder that finds the best fall foliage near you

In your post, tell us why open innovation matters for what you built. Does it run on a phone in the backcountry with no internet? Keep someone's location data off a server they don't control? Let you fine-tune, swap models, or change how your agent behaves? Cost nothing to run? Tell us where your open-based approach worked better than a closed one.
Bonus points if you take it outside, use it, and tell us how it went.

Prize Categories
Alongside our overall winner, we have 16 prize categories for projects that use a specific partner's technology. You don't need to use any of these to win the overall prize, but if you've been curious about any of this tech, this is a great excuse to give one a try. Full descriptions are on the hub.
Featured categories:

Partner categories:

Pro Tip: Partner category winners come from a smaller pool of submissions, so your odds are meaningfully higher.
Note: One project can enter every category it genuinely uses, but you can only win once per challenge, and we'll aim to celebrate as many different builders as possible across the month.
Free credits: several partners are giving participants credits and promo codes, including Tinker, Render, Backboard, and ElevenLabs. Claim yours at hacktoberfest.com/my.
A huge thank you to our partners for making these prizes possible!
Judging Criteria
This is DEV, so your write-up matters most.

Writing Quality (weighted most heavily): Is the post clear and engaging? Does it explain what you built, who it's for, and why open innovation matters?
Relevance to the Prompt and Theme: Is open-source AI or open-weight models at the core of the project? Does it get people off the screen and into the world?
Creativity: Is it an original idea, or a fresh take on a familiar problem?
Technical Execution: Does it work, and is it well built?
Use of Partner Technology (optional): If you're entering a partner category, does the project use that technology in a meaningful way?

Show your work. We'd love to see how you built it. Save your agent session with DevRelay and embed it in your post, or link to it. It's optional, but it helps the judges understand your process.
Prizes

Overall winner (1): $250 USD, a DEV++ membership, and an exclusive DEV badge
Featured category winners (6): $200 USD and an exclusive DEV badge each
Partner category winners (10): $100 USD and an exclusive DEV badge each

All participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge.
How To Participate
Publish a post on DEV using the submission template below. Tell us what you built and how it gets people outside, show us a demo, and explain why open innovation matters for what you built.

Your plan has been saved to: C:\Users\Admin\.claude\plans\recieved-this-mail-pasted-content-serene-sparrow.md
You can refer back to it if needed during implementation.

## Approved Plan:
# Hacktoberfest Week 1 "Touch Grass" — Plan

## Context
User wants to enter the DEV Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge, Week 1 (Touch Grass). Deadline **Oct 11, 11:59 PM (local time)** — ~5 days from today (Oct 6). Project folder `touch glass` is empty.

## What they actually need (there is no "form")
Submission = **publish a DEV post** using their template, tags `devchallenge, hf26challenge`. Post must contain:
1. **What I Built** – what it does, who it's for, how it gets people outside
2. **Demo** – deployed link or video
3. **Code** – public GitHub repo (embed it)
4. **How I Built It** – which open-weight model / open-source framework / local inference
5. **Why Open Innovation Matters** – what open made possible that a closed API wouldn't (offline, privacy, cost, fine-tuning)
6. *(optional)* Agent session via DevRelay; Prize categories list

Judging: **writing quality weighted most**, then theme fit (open AI at the core + gets people outside), creativity, technical execution, partner tech. Bonus: actually use it outside and report how it went. Must be a brand-new project.

## Recommended idea: "Touch Grass, Not Glass"
A screen-minimal, offline-first PWA where open-weight AI **refuses to let you stay on the screen**:
- Gives you one short **field quest** tuned to season/time/weather ("find a leaf with something living on it", "a bird you can hear but not see").
- Screen then goes **dark** — only a compass glyph + quest line. Spoken via open-source TTS (Piper / browser speech).
- You snap one photo; an **open-weight vision model (Gemma 3 / Gemma 3n)** verifies the find on-device/locally and writes a 2-line field note.
- Finds become a **"pressed leaf" field journal** — the only rich screen, viewed later at home.
- Metric shown is **"minutes away from the screen"**, not streaks/likes.
- Privacy: photos + GPS never leave the device → strong "why open" story.

Prize targets: Overall + **Best Use of Gemma** (featured, $200). Optional: Render (hosting the PWA shell).

## Build steps (once approved)
1. Scaffold PWA (Vite + vanilla/React) in `touch glass/`; offline service worker.
2. Inference: Ollama + `gemma3` vision locally (demo) with browser fallback (Transformers.js/WebGPU) if hardware allows.
3. Quest generator prompt + verifier prompt; dark "field mode" UI; journal page.
4. Push to public GitHub repo, deploy shell (Render/GitHub Pages), record demo video outside.
5. Draft DEV post in `touch glass/POST.md` following template. Then open the DEV template in the browser (user must be logged in), fill in the editor, show the user the final preview, and click **Publish only after an explicit "yes" in chat**.

## Decisions
- Concept: Touch Grass, Not Glass
- Hardware: NVIDIA GPU PC → Ollama + `gemma3` (4B/12B vision) locally; PWA calls the local Ollama API
- Publishing: Claude fills the DEV post and asks for a final confirmation before Publish
- User still needs to: take the app outside for a real photo/demo video (bonus points), and be logged into DEV + GitHub

## Verification
Run app locally, complete a quest with a real outdoor photo, confirm verification works with network disabled.

The app is built and live, and the post is drafted. I haven't published anything yet: the post still needs a few real things that only you can provide.

What the challenge needs: a published DEV post with sections for what you built, a demo, the code, how you built it, and why open models matter. It's due Oct 11, 11:59 PM your local time. Writing quality counts the most, and you get bonus points for actually using the app outside and saying how it went.

What's done:
- The app, "Touch Grass, Not Glass": a camera that only works outside.
- At home, Gemma writes 6 field quests for the season and the place you're heading.
- Outside, the screen goes nearly black: one quest, read aloud, and a shutter button.
- Back home, Gemma "develops the roll." It checks each photo against its quest and writes a short field note.
- The only score is the share of your walk the screen was off ("96% glass-free").
- Code: https://github.com/angelraph/touch-grass-not-glass
- Live link: https://angelraph.github.io/touch-grass-not-glass/
- Post draft: POST.md, entered for the overall prize and Best Use of Gemma ($200).

How it was tested:
- Gemma wrote good October park quests in 32 seconds.
- Given a photo that didn't match its quest, it correctly answered "NOT QUITE" instead of pretending.
- I could not test the screens in a browser here; the in-app browser wouldn't open the page. Please open the live link once and check it looks right.

Your PC has no NVIDIA GPU, so Gemma runs on the CPU. Checking one photo takes about 2.4 minutes. I made that part of the idea: like a film camera, you shoot now and develop later, and the post explains this.

What I need from you before publishing:
1. Take a real walk. Open the live link on your phone and shoot a roll. At home, tap Export roll on the phone, then on the PC run the command below and use Import roll and Develop roll.
2. Tell me how the walk went: where you went, your glass-free %, your best photo, and anything Gemma got wrong. I'll write it into the "I Took It Outside" section. I won't make this part up.
3. Send me 2–3 screenshots or a short video for the Demo section.
4. Be logged into DEV. I'll fill in the post in your browser, show it to you, and click Publish only after you say yes.

The app works; my first tap had just missed the button. Field mode now opens with a pocket-deck quest:

Measured, the layout is the correct 375px phone width; the cramped look comes from the pane being small and scaling the screenshot down. I'll clear the test roll and reset the viewport.

The app is deployed on Vercel at https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app, and it's open in the browser pane so you can see it.

Auto-deploy: the Vercel project is connected to your GitHub repo, so every push to main redeploys the site by itself.
Private draft: POST.md is excluded from the deploy (it returns 404), so your unfinished post isn't public.
Post updated: the Demo link in the draft now points to the Vercel address.

What I tested on the live site:
- The home page loads.
- At phone size, "Load film" opens the black field screen with a quest ("Find a color in nature you could not name.").
- I deleted that test roll afterwards.
- The screenshots in the pane look squashed, but I measured the page and it lays out at the correct phone width. The squashing comes from the small pane, not the site.

Limitation of the online version: it can't reach Gemma, because the model runs only on your PC. So it uses the built-in backup set of quests instead of AI-written ones, and it can't develop photos. That's fine for the walk: shoot on your phone using the Vercel link, tap Export roll, then develop the roll at home on your PC with npm start.

Next steps are the same as before. Take the walk, send me 2–3 screenshots or a short video and tell me how it went, and I'll finish the post. I'll only click Publish after you say yes.

You

What I need from you before publishing:

Take a real walk. Open the live link on your phone and shoot a roll. At home, tap Export roll on the phone, then on the PC run the command below and use Import roll and Develop roll.
Tell me how the walk went: where you went, your glass-free %, your best photo, and anything Gemma got wrong. I'll write it into the "I Took It Outside" section. I won't make this part up.
Send me 2–3 screenshots or a short video for the Demo section.

Agent

The video tools are installed and tested:
- ffmpeg handles the editing.
- Piper works with a natural US English voice; I generated a test line offline.
- Playwright opens and drives your live Vercel app.

When your photos arrive, I'll record the app, develop the photos with Gemma, add the narration and title cards, and edit everything into the final video.

What to do on your walk (20–30 minutes is enough):
1. On your phone, open https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app and tap Load film.
2. Follow the quests and take a photo for each one. Keep the phone in your pocket in between.
3. When you're done, tap finish roll, then Export roll. Also take 1–2 normal phone screenshots of the black quest screen; they'll look great in the video.
4. Send me:
- the exported roll .json file, or the 4–6 photos, saved into the touch glass folder or your Downloads
- a few lines on how it went: where you walked, how long, the glass-free % the app showed, your favourite find, and anything that surprised you

As soon as those arrive, I'll make the video and GIF, finish the post, fill it into DEV, and ask for your yes before publishing. Deadline: Oct 11, 11:59 PM.

You

i opened this on my phone

https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/ but cant understand what exactly to do there.. explain in a layman launguage like a little kid

for the walk hmmm its late night here, get a beauitiful natural pictures for it

Agent

Here's how to use the app, explained simply:

It's a treasure hunt for outside. 🌳

Tap "Load film." The app gives you a little list of things to find, like "find a leaf that a bug took a bite out of."
The screen goes black and shows one thing to find. That's your mission.
Put your phone away and go look for it. Look at trees, the ground, the sky.
Found it? Take out your phone and tap the big round gold button. That takes the photo.
The next mission appears. Repeat. (Can't find one? Tap skip.)
Back home, tap "Develop roll." The robot looks at your photos and tells you if you found the right thing. It also writes a cute little note about each one, like a nature diary. 📔

The goal is to look at your phone as little as possible. The app even tells you how much of your walk you didn't look at the screen.

One catch: the "robot checking your photos" part only works on your computer, because that's where the AI lives. On the phone you just hunt and take photos.

You're right that the app doesn't explain this itself. I'll add a simple "How it works" box to the home page. Then I'll get beautiful, freely licensed nature photos for the demo.

n2|So I built the opposite. A camera that only works outside, and won't show you anything until you get home.
n3|Pick where you're heading. Gemma 3, an open-weight model running on my laptop's CPU, no GPU and no cloud, writes you a fresh roll of six field quests for this season.
n4|Then the screen goes dark. One quest, read aloud, and a shutter. No preview. No feed. Phone in pocket. Look up.
n5|Shoot, and the next quest appears. That's the whole field experience.
n6|Back home, you develop the roll. Gemma's vision model looks at each photo, describes what it actually sees, and only then decides if you found it. On a laptop CPU, that takes a couple of minutes a frame. So, put the kettle on.
n8|Your field journal. And the only number the app keeps: how little you looked at the screen.
n9|Open weights mean it works where the signal doesn't. Your photos never leave your devices. And it costs nothing to touch grass. Now, go outside.

The demo recording is running now: the real app on your PC, with Gemma writing the quests and developing the six sample photos. It will take about 20 minutes, almost all of it Gemma working on the CPU.

Done so far:
- "How it works" box: four simple steps are now on the home page of the live site, so it makes sense on your phone.
- Six free-to-use nature photos from Wikimedia Commons: a maple leaf, oak bark, sunlight through a forest, a slug, a squirrel, and an autumn tree. All are credited, and the video will say they're sample photos.
- Narration: I've recorded the voice-over lines with the free Piper voice.
- Local server fixed: the app's local server was sending the home page as a file to download instead of showing it. That's why the browser couldn't open it earlier. The fix is pushed to GitHub.

One honest test is in the roll: one quest asks for a snail, but the photo shows a slug. If Gemma catches that, it's a great moment for the video; if it doesn't, we'll say so.

Still to do:
- Edit the recording into a 1080p video with narration and captions, plus a short GIF for the post.
- Put the video and Gemma's real verdicts into the post.
- Fill in the post on DEV in your browser, then wait for your yes before clicking Publish.

I'll update you when the recording finishes.

For “Touch Grass, Not Glass,” I’d pull inspiration from three different directions rather than copying one app. Your product needs to feel calm, outdoorsy, and premium while deliberately reducing screen engagement.
1. Aluna, calm AI + minimal mobile UI
Aluna UI/UX case study
This is probably the closest match for the overall polish you want. The design intentionally reduces stimulation, which fits your idea of sending the user outside instead of keeping them in the app. (U1Core)
Borrow:

Large typography
Lots of breathing room
Soft natural colors
One clear action per screen
Calm transitions
Minimal navigation
Premium mobile-app feel

For your app, I'd adapt this into a very sparse “Field Mode” where the quest is almost the only thing visible.
2. Lumo, nature + journal + intentional UX
Lumo mindfulness app case study
Lumo is especially useful for your journal side. It combines outdoor/wellness thinking with journaling and deliberately avoids the competitive feeling of typical habit apps. (Hunter Bastian)
Borrow:

Natural palette
Field-journal feeling
Simple daily entry
Gentle progress indicators
“Minutes away from screen” as your main metric
Photo + short written observation

Your “Pressed Leaf” journal could feel like a modern field notebook rather than a conventional AI app.
3. Dribbble Wellness + Journal collections, for component polish
Dribbble wellness app UI collection
Dribbble journal app UI collection
Use these specifically for micro-UI inspiration rather than copying an entire visual identity. There are useful patterns for cards, journal entries, mood/condition indicators, bottom navigation, empty states, and mobile interactions. (Dribbble)
For Touch Grass, I'd build the UI around this structure:

HOME
────────────────────
Good morning

12 min away from screen

Today's field quest
┌───────────────────┐
│                   │
│  Find something   │
│  alive on a leaf. │
│                   │
│       START →     │
└───────────────────┘

        12 min
        outside

Journal    Settings

Then when they start:

FIELD MODE

        ◇

Find something alive
on a leaf.

Listen first.
Look slowly.

        [ I FOUND IT ]

Almost everything disappears.
After the photo:

FIELD NOTE

✓ Find verified

Wild leaf with a
small insect resting
beneath the surface.

18 minutes outside

[ SAVE TO JOURNAL ]

And the journal should feel like this:

MY FIELD JOURNAL

18 min       42 min       27 min
outside      outside      outside

────────────────────

Oct 06
A tiny visitor
on a wild leaf.

[photo]

"Somewhere between
looking and noticing."

────────────────────

Oct 05
...

The key design decision I'd keep throughout the build is: the app should become visually quieter as the user gets closer to going outside.
That gives you a much stronger product identity than making another attractive wellness dashboard. It also directly reinforces the Hacktoberfest theme.

Agent

Got it. I'll visit each of the four links for inspiration, then redesign the app. One heads-up: the video being recorded now shows the current design. Once the redesign is done, I'll record it again (about 20 minutes, mostly Gemma) so the final video shows the new look. Visiting the links now:

Aluna
UI/UX Design
Mobile Design

Aluna is a calm, AI-powered wellness app that helps users balance mind, body and soul through mindful check-ins, gentle guidance, and immersive minimal iOS UI.

A wellness app concept built around calm, clarity, and daily rhythm. AI-powered check-ins, minimal iOS screens, and a visual language designed to reduce stimulation — not add to it.

Title
Task

The task was to design a full mobile UI concept for Aluna — an AI-powered wellness app for iOS. The goal was to create an experience that feels genuinely calm: one that helps users build a consistent mind-body-soul practice without overwhelming them with content, metrics, or decisions.

Title
Challenge

Most wellness apps contradict their own purpose. They’re busy, notification-heavy, and data-obsessed — the opposite of what someone trying to slow down actually needs. The challenge was to design an experience that reduces stimulation at every step. Every screen, every interaction, every piece of copy had to earn its place by making the user feel calmer, not more engaged.

Results

The result is a minimal, immersive iOS UI that guides users through daily wellness rituals without friction or noise. Soft visual language, gentle transitions, and a focused information hierarchy create an app that feels like a pause — not another thing to manage. AI-powered check-ins surface the right prompts at the right moment, adapting to the user’s rhythm rather than demanding they adapt to the app.

Project Timeline
Research

The research phase focused on understanding how people actually use wellness apps — and where they stop. The key insight: most users abandon wellness apps within two weeks, not because the content is bad, but because the experience feels like another obligation. We mapped the emotional journey of someone trying to build a wellness habit and designed around the moments where drop-off typically happens.

Briefing

The brief called for a wellness app that felt genuinely different from the category. Not another tracker. Not another content library. A daily companion that meets the user where they are — calm, focused, and free of the visual noise that makes most health apps feel like work.

UX Research

UX research focused on the onboarding flow and daily check-in experience. We tested how much information users were willing to engage with at different times of day, and what prompts actually shifted their mood or behavior. The findings shaped a check-in flow that takes under 60 seconds and always ends with one clear, actionable insight.

Moodboard

The moodboard drew from meditation spaces, natural textures, and minimal iOS design systems. Soft gradients, generous white space, muted earth tones, and fluid typography. The reference point was an experience that feels like taking a breath — before the user has even done anything.

Design Concepts

Two design directions were explored: one built around a dark, immersive night-mode aesthetic; the other around a soft, light palette that shifts throughout the day. The final concept merged both — a dynamic visual system that adapts to morning, afternoon, and evening sessions, reinforcing the app’s core message: wellness has a rhythm.

UI Design

The UI design delivered a complete iOS screen set — onboarding, home, check-in flow, mind/body/soul modules, progress view, and settings. Every component was designed to feel effortless: large touch targets, minimal navigation, and typography that reads clearly without demanding attention. The result is a UI system that disappears into the experience.

UI Kit & Closing
The final deliverable included a complete UI kit with components, color tokens, typography scales, and spacing guidelines — everything needed to hand off to development or extend the design system as the product grows.

We wireframed the authentication and onboarding screens to validate layout, hierarchy, and form usability. Prototypes helped refine field behavior, error states, and the path to account creation, ensuring a smooth and intuitive first-time experience for users

Clean, minimal interface with a soft natural palette.Category:Mobile Design01OverviewLumo is a mindfulness app that helps you focus on what matters most. Reflect in a personal journal, track your mood, and set goals to aim towards — all in one calm, intentional space built around simplicity and presence over productivity.0Platforms0+ScreensFigmaTool
02The ProblemFitness and wellness apps feel noisy and competitive — reflection gets skipped. People want to get outside more, but cues and feedback loops are weak. It's hard to see whether outdoor time actually improves mood or energy because mood journaling lives in one app and fitness tracking in another.The GoalDesign an intuitive interface that promotes consistency without overwhelming the user. Habit tracking meets wellness awareness in a peaceful, distraction-free environment. The experience should feel calming, intentional, and private.Three pain points surfaced early:
Fitness apps feel noisy and comparative, killing motivation
Too many taps and permissions to start and end a simple session
Mood journaling is separate from activity — no clear correlation between what you do and how you feel

03Research & DirectionCompetitive AnalysisLooking at what other apps were doing helped give direction to where Lumo could stand out. AllTrails is a hiking app for tracking stats and finding new places. How We Feel is a mood tracking app. Taking inspiration from both, the goal was to make an app that could be reflective while you either hike or mood track — connecting activity to reflection in one place.Research Questions
How do users naturally reflect on their day or mental state?
What makes a mindfulness or journaling app feel calm and easy to use?
How do users prefer to track progress without feeling overwhelmed?
MethodologyConducted usability testing using a low-fidelity prototype in Figma with a small group of family and friends. Participants were asked to complete tasks such as logging in, choosing a focus, journaling, and checking goals and milestones. Observed their interactions, recorded paths, noted confusion points, and collected feedback.
04InsightsThree friction points discovered through usability testing shaped the final design.Chosen directionChosen directionChosen direction
05Design SystemA 6-color palette and Swiza type scale kept the visual language calm and distraction-free across the whole app. Reusable components — hamburger overlay, nav bar, and back button — were built so every screen stayed structurally consistent without redesigning from scratch.Responsive Design
Mobile first: Single-column layout keeps the experience focused for on-the-go logging and reflection
Tablet & desktop: Expanded panels give users more breathing room to review and engage deeply at home

The new landing page is live at https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app. Here's what changed:
- Hero: your logo, a large calm headline, grass swaying along the bottom, seeds drifting upward, and a phone whose screen dims as you scroll.
- "How it works": three big, spacious chapters. When you reach "The screen goes dark", the whole page turns to night, then back to day for "Develop the roll".
- Photos: three real Gemma frames that develop like film (dark sepia → colour) as they scroll in.
- Shorter content: four one-line reasons for open AI and five FAQs. Everything else moved to the Docs.

The final video recording is running now, about 20 minutes, with both fixes in place: a full phone frame, and no early cut-off. I'm keeping the computer quiet so Gemma and the recorder don't fight over the CPU. I'll show you the video as soon as it's done.

Agent

The demo video is done: touch-grass-demo.mp4, 2 min 11 s, 1080p, narrated by the free open-source Piper voice. I watched it through frame grabs, not with sound. It runs in this order:

Title card with your logo: "The camera that only works outside."
Landing page: grass swaying, the phone screen dimming, and the page turning to night at "The screen goes dark."
Live quests: Gemma writing a fresh roll of quests on your laptop. Nothing is faked; it's sped up because the CPU is slow.
Field mode: the dark screen with one quest at a time.
Demo roll: six photos taken through the real camera button. A caption says they're CC-licensed sample photos because it was midnight.
"Recorded at a desk, so: honestly 0%": the glass-free score is shown truthfully.
The darkroom: Gemma developing each photo live, from dark sepia to colour.
Gemma's mistakes, kept in: it called the slug a snail and guessed the wrong squirrel species, and the narration says so.
End card: your logo, "Now go outside.", the links and the photo credits.

Problems I found and fixed along the way:
- The first recording only filled a quarter of the phone frame.
- It also lost its last 10 minutes when saving, because Gemma and the video encoder were fighting over the CPU.
- I fixed both and recorded again from scratch.

Your logo is also live on the site: in the navigation, the browser tab icon, and the home-screen icon.

What's left:
1. Your feedback on the video. If you want changes (pace, wording, music), tell me.
2. Where to host the video. DEV posts embed YouTube nicely. You can upload it to YouTube yourself and send me the link. Or, if you want, I'll put it on the project's own site (/demo.mp4) and link to it from the post.
3. The walk (optional): a short daytime walk this week to add a real "I Took It Outside" section. If you'd rather skip it, I'll leave that section out.
4. Publishing: once you're logged into DEV in your browser, I'll fill in the post and show it to you. I'll only click Publish after you say yes.

You

the video doesnt look entertaining like the video i show you nothing is stylish or creative, i gave you a video example didnt i? or cant that type be achieved with this project?

i have logged in on my browser though

Agent

Yes, you showed me the example. Here's an honest answer about what made it feel the way it did.

Why your example looks like that: that project was a 3D game, so its demo video was just gameplay. It had a blocky character, a 3D world, pop-ups and music. Our project is a calm web app, so a screen recording of it will always look like a screen recording. That's why mine felt flat: it's a tidy tutorial, not a story.

Can we get that feel? Yes. We just have to build the film, not only record the app. I can make a short animated voxel (blocky 3D) story in the browser with Three.js, an open-source 3D engine, and record it the same way. For example:

A blocky character sits in a dark room, face lit by a phone 📱 → the phone shows a quest and goes dark → the door opens onto a golden-hour voxel park, with grass swaying and leaves falling → they spot a red maple leaf → click, a shutter flash → back home, a red darkroom light, and the photos develop one by one → the field journal → your logo: "Now go outside."

The real app footage would appear inside the story on a floating phone, so judges still see that it truly works. Add music, sound effects (shutter click, film wind, footsteps), stylish captions and transitions, and it becomes a short film rather than a demo.

That's roughly 3–5 hours of my work, with free tools only. We have until Oct 11, so there's time.

Before I start something that big, a few choices:

Read the answers carefully — they may request clarification, changes, or that you not proceed — and follow what they actually say.

Here's the new video: touch-grass-film.mp4, an 80-second voxel cartoon at 1080p and 30 fps, with an original score and sound effects. I checked it frame by frame through stills, but I haven't heard the audio myself, so please listen for anything that sounds off.

What happens in it:
1. 23:47, a dark bedroom. A blocky kid is glued to their phone while notification bubbles float around them (♥ 214, 🔔 99+, 🔥 47). Music: a gloomy music box.
2. The phone slides up showing the real app. Taps on Load film and Start walking, then the screen goes dark with Gemma's real quest. The notifications pop and vanish.
3. "!" The kid looks up, stands, walks to the door. The door creaks open and a flash of light floods in.
4. A golden-hour voxel park with a cheerful chiptune, falling leaves, birds and swaying grass.
- They spot the red maple leaf ✨ → click → a polaroid of the real photo slides in.
- A quick montage follows: squirrel → light rays → the slug, each with a shutter flash.
- Sunset walk home.
5. The red darkroom. Lo-fi keys play while the prints develop on the line and the real journal shows on the laptop.
- The laptop says "Frame 4: a large, dark snail!". The kid turns to the camera: "…that's a slug." 🎺 wah-wah
6. The meadow. The why-open points pop in beside a giant floating phone showing the real journal, then the kid lies in the grass with their phone face-down.
7. Your logo: "Now go outside."

Everything is free and open-source: Three.js for the 3D, music I composed in code, and the real app inside the story.

About publishing to DEV:
- The video needs a public link first. DEV posts embed YouTube best. Which do you prefer?
- (a) You upload touch-grass-film.mp4 to YouTube yourself and send me the link.
- (b) I host it on the project's site at /film.mp4 and the post links to it, with a GIF preview in the post.
- Your Chrome session. I'll connect to your Chrome with the Claude in Chrome extension, open the DEV editor, and paste in the finished post. Then I'll show you the preview and click Publish only when you say yes.

Want any changes to the film first (scenes, pacing, music, jokes)?

You

great video, whats like is voice, the example video i gave you have a voice on it, this should also have a voice then i will host it on yutube why you also host it in the app

Agent

Yes, we can add voice. I'll give the film a cast of three open-source Piper voices, so it stays fully open like the rest of the project:
- 🎙️ A warm narrator telling the story.
- 🧒 The kid, "Sam", saying a few lines ("There!", "…that's a slug.").
- 🤖 The laptop, with a robotic voice effect for "Frame four: a large, dark snail!"

The music will automatically dip whenever someone speaks, so every line is clear. Then I'll put the film on the website too (a "Watch the film" section on the landing page), and you can upload the same file to YouTube.

- 🎙️ Narrator: "Meet Sam. Day forty-seven of just five more minutes… Then the phone said something new. And went dark."
- 🧒 Sam: "Wait. A leaf?" … "There!"
- 🤖 Laptop, in a crunchy robot voice: "Frame four. A large, dark snail!" → 🧒 "That's a slug." → 🎺 wah-wah
- The narrator closes: "Touch Grass, Not Glass. Now, go outside."

I measured the mix rather than listening to it: whenever anyone speaks, the voices sit 13–20 dB above the music. Please give it one listen to confirm it sounds right to you.

It's on the website too. The landing page has a new "Meet Sam." section with the film, and "Film" is in the top menu: https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/#film. The website copy is a lighter 7 MB version so it loads fast.

Next steps:
1. Upload touch-grass-film.mp4 to YouTube and send me the link. A suggested title: "Touch Grass, Not Glass: a voxel short about a camera that only works outside".
2. Then I'll connect to your Chrome (the Claude in Chrome extension), open the DEV editor, paste in the finished post with the YouTube embed, and show you the preview. I'll only click Publish after you say yes.

Here's a short YouTube title and description with the links, ready to paste:

Title
Touch Grass, Not Glass: a camera that only works outside

Description
```
Meet Sam: day 47 of "just five more minutes." Then the phone said something new… and went dark. 🌿

Touch Grass, Not Glass gives you six small things to find outside. The screen stays dark while you look, and back home an open-weight AI (Gemma 3, running locally) develops your roll into a field journal. No cloud. No feed. One score: time with the screen off.

▶ Try it: https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app
💻 Code: https://github.com/angelraph/touch-grass-not-glass

Built for the DEV Hacktoberfest 2026 Open-Source AI Challenge.
Made with Three.js, Piper voices and an original score written in code.

hacktoberfest #opensource #gemma #touchgrass


I also made a subtitle file: [touch-grass-film.en.srt](touch-grass-film.en.srt). It has the 20 spoken lines with timings, with Sam's and the laptop's lines labelled. To add it, after uploading go to **Subtitles → Add language → English → Upload file → "With timing"** and choose that file. Captions help viewers who watch with the sound off.

Send me the YouTube link when it's up, and I'll put the post together in your Chrome.

8   
9   ## What I Built
10  
11  Every "go outside" app I've tried has the same bug: **it's an app.** It wants you to look at it. A map, a feed, a streak, a badge, a notification, and suddenly you're standing in a beautiful park staring at glass.
12  
13  So I built the opposite: **a camera that only works outside, and won't show you anything until you get home.**
14  
15  **Touch Grass, Not Glass** works like a disposable film camera with a naturalist inside it:
16  
17  1. **📼 Load the film (at home).** Pick where you're heading: park, trail, garden, streets, water. **Gemma 3, running locally**, writes you six field quests for *this* month, *this* time of day and *that* place:
18     > *Find and photograph a single, fallen maple leaf displaying vibrant red hues.*
19     > *Locate and capture the texture of rough bark on an ancient oak tree.*
20  2. **🌑 Field mode (outside).** The screen goes almost black. You get one quest in dim amber, read aloud, and a button that says **I found it**. That's it: **no preview, no feed, no "did it count?"** You shoot, and the next quest appears. Pocket the phone and look up.
21  3. **🧪 Develop the roll (back home).** Gemma's vision model looks at each photo, writes down what it *actually* sees, decides whether you found it, and gives the frame a museum-style specimen title and a two-line field note. Each frame gets a **✓ FOUND** or **NOT QUITE** stamp.
22  4. **📔 Your field journal.** Your developed rolls, plus the only number the app keeps: **minutes away from the screen**, and each walk's **glass-free %**.
23  
24  No streaks, no leaderboards, no likes. **The less you look at it, the better you're doing.**
25  
26  **Who it's for:** anyone who knows they *should* go outside but needs a nudge and a reason to look closer. It suits kids on a walk, people who like to wander, and anyone whose phone pulls them away from the view.
27  
28  The design rule I kept to: **the app gets quieter the closer you get to going outside.** The home screen is warm paper and serif type. Loading the film dims everything. Field mode is nearly black, with one sentence and one button. You only get colour, photos and words back when you're home.

Claude in Chrome

Claude in Chrome is a browser extension. Its tools, named mcp__claude-in-chrome__*, act in the person's real Chrome, in new tabs alongside the person's own, with their existing sign-ins. Claude in Chrome is available only while the person's Chrome is running with the extension connected; if its tool calls report that the extension is not connected or get no response, Claude says so rather than retrying, and follows the session's browser guidance on whether to continue with the other browser or ask first.

If the only Claude in Chrome tool present is enable__mcp__claude-in-chrome, Claude calls it first: it turns Claude in Chrome on for this conversation, and the mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools appear once it has run.

Loading the tools

If the mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools are deferred (meaning they have to be loaded through ToolSearch before use), Claude loads every tool it expects to need in ONE ToolSearch call, because the select query accepts a comma-separated list and each extra ToolSearch call costs a full round trip. The core set to start with:

ToolSearch with query "select:mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp,mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate,mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer,mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page,mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp,mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_close_mcp"

Claude adds task-specific tools to that same call when the task obviously needs them: read_console_messages and read_network_requests for debugging, form_input for forms, gif_creator for recordings, javascript_tool for page scripting. A second ToolSearch is only for a tool the task turned out to need later.

Starting a session: tab context first, then a new tab

At the start of each browser session Claude calls mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp first, to see the person's current tabs and understand what they may want to work with. Then:

Claude reuses an existing tab only when the person explicitly asks to work with it.
Otherwise Claude opens a new tab with mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp and works there, and, unless the person wants them kept, closes the tabs it created before finishing.
Claude never reuses tab IDs remembered from an earlier or different session. If a tool reports that a tab does not exist or is invalid, or the person closes a tab, or a navigation error occurs, Claude calls tabs_context_mcp again for fresh tab IDs.

Site permissions

Claude in Chrome acts on a site only once the person has allowed it; depending on their settings the person may be prompted per site, in the extension or in the app. When a tool call is waiting on or refused that permission, Claude tells the person and waits for them to allow it rather than working around it. A site the person declines is their decision; Claude moves on.

Recording a GIF

For multi-step interactions the person may want to review or share, Claude can record them with mcp__claude-in-chrome__gif_creator. Claude captures a few extra frames before and after each action so playback is smooth, and gives the file a meaningful name (for example "login_process.gif").

Reading console output

mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_console_messages reads the page's console. Console output can be verbose, so when Claude is looking for specific entries it passes the pattern parameter (a regular expression), for example pattern "[MyApp]" to keep only the application's own logs.

Alerts and dialogs

Claude does not trigger JavaScript alerts, confirms, prompts, or other browser modal dialogs through its actions. Those dialogs block all further browser events, so the extension stops receiving commands. Instead:

Claude avoids clicking elements likely to raise a confirmation dialog (for example a "Delete" button) unless necessary.
If it must interact with such an element, Claude warns the person first that this may interrupt the session.
Claude can use mcp__claude-in-chrome__javascript_tool to check for and dismiss an existing dialog before proceeding, and prefers console.log plus read_console_messages over alert for debugging.

If a dialog does get triggered and the browser stops responding, Claude tells the person they need to dismiss it manually in Chrome.

Staying on task, and when to stop

Claude stays focused on the specific task and does not wander into unrelated pages. Claude stops and asks the person how to proceed, explaining what it tried and what went wrong, when any of these happen:

browser tool calls fail or return errors after 2 or 3 attempts
the extension gives no response
page elements do not respond to clicks or input, or pages do not load or time out
the task turns out to involve unexpected complexity or tangents
several approaches have not completed the task

Claude does not keep retrying the same failing action.

⚠️ **Claude in Chrome is not connected**

The Chrome extension isn't reachable right now. If browser tools were working earlier in this session, this is usually transient — retry in a moment.

If retries keep failing, or browser tools have never worked in this session, the extension is likely not installed or not signed in. Tell the user how to fix it (include the link):
1. Install the Claude in Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn
2. Open the Claude side panel in Chrome and sign in with the same account as this app.
Then retry the browser tool. If the user prefers, continue with alternatives (web search, or ask them to do the browser step themselves).

I couldn't connect to your Chrome: the Claude in Chrome extension isn't connected (I tried twice). To fix it:

Install the extension if you haven't: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn
In Chrome, open the Claude side panel and sign in with the same account as this app.
Keep Chrome open on the DEV tab, then tell me "connected". I'll fill in the post, show you the preview, and click Publish only after your yes.

The finished post is ready in POST.md: the YouTube film is embedded at the top of the Demo section, and nothing is left to fill in. If you'd rather not set up the extension, you can do it yourself in about a minute:

Go to https://dev.to/new.
Click the ⋯ menu → Basic markdown editor (or paste straight into the editor).
Paste the entire contents of POST.md, including the top --- lines (they set the title and tags).
Click Preview to check the YouTube embed shows, then Publish.

7   *This is a submission for the [Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass](https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-week1-2026-10-05)*
8   
9   ## What I Built
10  
11  Every "go outside" app I've tried has the same bug: **it's an app.** It wants you to look at it. A map, a feed, a streak, a badge, a notification, and suddenly you're standing in a beautiful park staring at glass.
12  
13  So I built the opposite: **a camera that only works outside, and won't show you anything until you get home.**
14  
15  **Touch Grass, Not Glass** works like a disposable film camera with a naturalist inside it:
16  
17  1. **📼 Load the film (at home).** Pick where you're heading: park, trail, garden, streets, water. **Gemma 3, running locally**, writes you six field quests for *this* month, *this* time of day and *that* place:
18     > *Find and photograph a single, fallen maple leaf displaying vibrant red hues.*
19     > *Locate and capture the texture of rough bark on an ancient oak tree.*
20  2. **🌑 Field mode (outside).** The screen goes almost black. You get one quest in dim amber, read aloud, and a button that says **I found it**. That's it: **no preview, no feed, no "did it count?"** You shoot, and the next quest appears. Pocket the phone and look up.
21  3. **🧪 Develop the roll (back home).** Gemma's vision model looks at each photo, writes down what it *actually* sees, decides whether you found it, and gives the frame a museum-style specimen title and a two-line field note. Each frame gets a **✓ FOUND** or **NOT QUITE** stamp.
22  4. **📔 Your field journal.** Your developed rolls, plus the only number the app keeps: **minutes away from the screen**, and each walk's **glass-free %**.
23  
24  No streaks, no leaderboards, no likes. **The less you look at it, the better you're doing.**
25  
26  **Who it's for:** anyone who knows they *should* go outside but needs a nudge and a reason to look closer. It suits kids on a walk, people who like to wander, and anyone whose phone pulls them away from the view.
27  
28  The design rule I kept to: **the app gets quieter the closer you get to going outside.** The home screen is warm paper and serif type. Loading the film dims everything. Field mode is nearly black, with one sentence and one button. You only get colour, photos and words back when you're home.

38  
39  **About the film.** It's a cartoon, but everything about the product in it is real. The phone and laptop screens show actual screenshots of the app. The quest on Sam's phone and the *"Frame four: a large, dark snail!"* line are real Gemma 3 4B output from my laptop. The film itself is open too:
40  - the 3D world is built with **Three.js** and rendered frame by frame;
41  - the narrator, Sam and the robot laptop are **Piper**, an open-source text-to-speech model running offline;
42  - the chiptune score and sound effects are **written in code** (about 300 lines of Python/numpy).
43  
44  The polaroids use **CC-licensed sample photos** from Wikimedia Commons (credited in the film and on the site), because I built this at midnight.
45  
46  ## Code
47  
48  {% github angelraph/touch-grass-not-glass %}
49  
50  Zero npm dependencies: plain HTML, CSS and JS modules, a service worker, IndexedDB, self-hosted fonts, and a local Ollama server.
51  
52  ## How I Built It
53  
54  **The model: Gemma 3 (4B) via Ollama, on a laptop with no GPU.** I really mean that: my machine has integrated Intel graphics. Gemma 3 4B runs on the CPU at about 6 tokens per second. That was a problem at first, and then it turned into the main design idea.
55  
56  **The slow model made the film-camera idea work.** Developing one photo on my CPU takes about two minutes (111–127 seconds in the sample roll). If the app checked photos live, you'd stand on the trail watching a spinner, which is the exact screen-staring I wanted to kill. So the app does what film did: **shoot now, develop later.** Slow inference stopped being a bug and became the reason the screen stays dark. When you're back home, you tap Develop, put the kettle on, and the roll appears frame by frame.
57  
58  **Two prompts, both with structured output.** Ollama's `format` parameter takes a JSON schema, so Gemma always returns data the app can read:
59  
60  - **Quest writer:** month, time of day and destination in; exactly six one-sentence quests out. The rules: findable in under 10 minutes, safe, leave nature undisturbed, and a mix of plant, animal sign, light and season.
61  - **Darkroom verifier:** one photo plus its quest in; `{ observation, matches_quest, confidence, title, field_note, species_guess }` out.
62  
63  One small trick made the verifier more honest: **`observation` comes first in the schema.** The model has to describe what's in the frame *before* it decides. In an early version I asked for the verdict first, and Gemma said a gradient wallpaper was "something natural with two colors", then explained in its own note why it wasn't. With observation first, the verdict follows from what the model actually saw.
64  
65  **Offline where it matters:**
66  - A **service worker** caches the whole app, fonts included, so field mode loads with zero bars.
67  - Photos are resized to 768px on the device and stored in **IndexedDB**. Nothing is uploaded.
68  - With no model reachable (say, you're already at the trailhead), quests come from a built-in **pocket deck**.
69  - **Phone outside, computer at home:** *Export* a roll on the phone (one JSON file), then *Import* it on the machine running Ollama and develop it there.
70  
71  **The glass-free timer** uses the Page Visibility API: it counts only the time the field screen was actually visible, compared with the length of the whole walk.
72  
73  ## What Gemma Got Wrong (and Why I Left It In)
74  
75  The [sample roll on the landing page](https://touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/#journal) is unedited Gemma 3 4B output. It made two mistakes:
76  
77  - One quest asked for a **snail**, and the photo was a **slug**. Gemma titled the frame *"Black Slug on Stone"*, then still described "a large, dark snail" and stamped it **FOUND**.
78  - It called a black-coated Eurasian red squirrel an **Eastern Gray Squirrel**.
79  
80  I could have tuned the prompt until the demo looked perfect. Instead I show the raw output, because a 4B model on a laptop CPU isn't a field guide. The app is built around that: the journal shows what the model *saw*, and the prompt tells it to say "uncertain" rather than invent a species. Fixing this is also where open weights help. I can swap in `gemma3:12b` with one setting, or fine-tune a model on the plants and animals where I live. A closed API would leave me waiting for someone else's next release.
81  
82  ## Why Does Open Innovation Matter?
83  
84  Because a closed API would have broken all three things this project is about.
85  
86  - **📵 It works where the grass is.** Trails and parks are where signal drops. With an open-weight model, "the cloud" is a laptop in my living room, and the field side needs no network at all.
87  - **🔒 Your walks stay yours.** A roll of photos is a time-stamped map of where you go and when. With a hosted vision API, every frame would go to someone else's server. Here nothing leaves devices I own, and that isn't a privacy policy; it's how the app is built.
88  - **💸 It costs nothing to touch grass.** No API key, no per-image fee, no subscription. A kid with a hand-me-down laptop can run the whole darkroom.
89  - **🔧 It's mine to change.** Changing the model is one text field: `gemma3:12b` on a better machine, `gemma3n` for something lighter, `llava` if you prefer. The prompts are in one readable file.
90  
91  The open approach also produced the best idea in the project. With an instant closed API I'd have built yet another live "AI identifies your photo" app. Because I was running my own slow model, I built a darkroom, and the darkroom is what keeps people off the screen.
92  
93  ## Prize Categories
94  
95  - **Best Use of Gemma:** Gemma 3 is the whole engine. It writes the quests (text) and develops the roll (vision), locally, with structured output.

The post is clean: no dashes, emoji or bold. Now the README the same way. Its tables also used dash lines, so I'm writing it as plain paragraphs:

The preview renders correctly:
- The YouTube film is embedded under Demo.
- The GitHub repo card shows under Code, with the new plain-language README.
- All the sections are in order: What I Built, Demo, Code, How I Built It, What Gemma Got Wrong, Why Does Open Innovation Matter?, Prize Categories.
- Title: "Touch Grass, Not Glass: a camera that only works outside".
- Tags: #devchallenge #hf26challenge #gemma #opensource.

The post is fully filled in and waiting in your Chrome on the DEV tab, in Preview mode. I couldn't take a final screenshot because Chrome reports that tab as hidden, so switch to it to see it. Nothing has been saved or published yet.

One thing to decide before publishing: the "AI Disclosure" button next to Publish. I built this project and wrote the post with you, and DEV asks posts to say when AI helped write them. DEV's own challenge announcement is marked "AI-assisted". I'd recommend ticking it:
- It keeps the entry clean under the rules.
- Judges care about the project and the writing, so it won't hurt you.
- If it came out later that the post hid it, it could cost you the prize.

So, two quick answers:
1. AI Disclosure: should I set it to "AI-assisted"? (Recommended)
2. Publish: shall I click Publish now? Once published it's public on DEV; you can still edit it afterwards. If you'd rather look it over first, I can click Save Draft instead.

Your message arrived just after the post went live. I'd already clicked Publish following your earlier "yes set ai disclosure and publish", so the post is public now:

https://dev.to/raphelevator/touch-grass-not-glass-a-camera-that-only-works-outside-2268

What's live: the title, four tags, the "AI-assisted" label, the YouTube film, the GitHub card, and all seven sections. It's only been up a minute or two, so this is easy to handle either way:

Review it as it is. It's open in your Chrome tab. Tell me anything to change, or click Edit on the post. DEV lets you edit after publishing, and edits go live straight away.
Unpublish it while you review. I can switch it back to a draft so nobody sees it, then republish once you're happy. Unpublishing is DEV's own setting, nothing is lost, and the deadline is still Oct 11.

Do you want me to unpublish it to draft now?

You

Hacktoberfest Week 1 "Touch Grass" — Plan
Context
User wants to enter the DEV Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge, Week 1 (Touch Grass). Deadline Oct 11, 11:59 PM (local time) — ~5 days from today (Oct 6). Project folder touch glass is empty.
What they actually need (there is no "form")
Submission = publish a DEV post using their template, tags devchallenge, hf26challenge. Post must contain:

What I Built – what it does, who it's for, how it gets people outside
Demo – deployed link or video
Code – public GitHub repo (embed it)
How I Built It – which open-weight model / open-source framework / local inference
Why Open Innovation Matters – what open made possible that a closed API wouldn't (offline, privacy, cost, fine-tuning)
(optional) Agent session via DevRelay; Prize categories list

Judging: writing quality weighted most, then theme fit (open AI at the core + gets people outside), creativity, technical execution, partner tech. Bonus: actually use it outside and report how it went. Must be a brand-new project.
Recommended idea: "Touch Grass, Not Glass"
A screen-minimal, offline-first PWA where open-weight AI refuses to let you stay on the screen:

Gives you one short field quest tuned to season/time/weather ("find a leaf with something living on it", "a bird you can hear but not see").
Screen then goes dark — only a compass glyph + quest line. Spoken via open-source TTS (Piper / browser speech).
You snap one photo; an open-weight vision model (Gemma 3 / Gemma 3n) verifies the find on-device/locally and writes a 2-line field note.
Finds become a "pressed leaf" field journal — the only rich screen, viewed later at home.
Metric shown is "minutes away from the screen", not streaks/likes.
Privacy: photos + GPS never leave the device → strong "why open" story.

Prize targets: Overall + Best Use of Gemma (featured, $200). Optional: Render (hosting the PWA shell).
Build steps (once approved)

Scaffold PWA (Vite + vanilla/React) in touch glass/; offline service worker.
Inference: Ollama + gemma3 vision locally (demo) with browser fallback (Transformers.js/WebGPU) if hardware allows.
Quest generator prompt + verifier prompt; dark "field mode" UI; journal page.
Push to public GitHub repo, deploy shell (Render/GitHub Pages), record demo video outside.
Draft DEV post in touch glass/POST.md following template. Then open the DEV template in the browser (user must be logged in), fill in the editor, show the user the final preview, and click Publish only after an explicit "yes" in chat.

Decisions

Concept: Touch Grass, Not Glass
Hardware: NVIDIA GPU PC → Ollama + gemma3 (4B/12B vision) locally; PWA calls the local Ollama API
Publishing: Claude fills the DEV post and asks for a final confirmation before Publish
User still needs to: take the app outside for a real photo/demo video (bonus points), and be logged into DEV + GitHub

Verification
Run app locally, complete a quest with a real outdoor photo, confirm verification works with network disabled.

Hey there,
Week 1 of the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge is officially live!
This week's theme is Touch Grass: build something with open-source AI at its core that gets people off the screen and into the world. Hiking, gardening, birding, run clubs, fall foliage: if it gets someone outside, it counts.
This year's Hacktoberfest is all about open-source AI and open-weight models. To participate, build a brand-new project and write about it on DEV. You can run an open-weight model, build on an open-source agent framework, run inference locally, or all three. They most important part? Tell us why open innovation matters for what you built.
TAKE ME TO THE CHALLENGE
Free credits: several partners are giving participants credits and promo codes, including Tinker, Render, Backboard, and ElevenLabs. Claim yours at hacktoberfest.com/my.
Winners will be announced the week of October 12.
GOOD LUCK!

A bird call identifier that works on the trail with no signal
A garden planner that tells you what to plant this week based on your local frost dates
A run club route builder that finds the best fall foliage near you

Partner categories:

Writing Quality (weighted most heavily): Is the post clear and engaging? Does it explain what you built, who it's for, and why open innovation matters?
Relevance to the Prompt and Theme: Is open-source AI or open-weight models at the core of the project? Does it get people off the screen and into the world?
Creativity: Is it an original idea, or a fresh take on a familiar problem?
Technical Execution: Does it work, and is it well built?
Use of Partner Technology (optional): If you're entering a partner category, does the project use that technology in a meaningful way?

Overall winner (1): $250 USD, a DEV++ membership, and an exclusive DEV badge
Featured category winners (6): $200 USD and an exclusive DEV badge each
Partner category winners (10): $100 USD and an exclusive DEV badge each

what exactly do they needs
</pasted_content id="9ee1">

and how many tracks it covers?

Agent

Here's where things stand against the challenge rules and our plan.

Does it fit the challenge? Yes, every required part is in the published post:

Requirement	Status
Brand-new project	✅ Built from scratch this week
Open-weight AI at the core	✅ Gemma 3 running locally through Ollama writes the quests and checks the photos
Gets people off the screen	✅ The screen goes dark outside; the only score is time with the screen off
Post with tags `devchallenge`, `hf26challenge`	✅ Published
What I Built / Demo / Code / How I Built It / Why Open Innovation Matters	✅ All there, with the live site, the YouTube film and the GitHub embed
Prize Categories section	✅ Best Use of Gemma
Before the deadline (Oct 11)	✅ Published Oct 6

What's left (all optional, but they help you win):

The real walk (bonus points). The rules say "bonus points if you take it outside, use it, and tell us how it went". We haven't done this yet. A 15-minute daytime walk with the app on your phone, plus a few honest lines from you, and I'll add a short section to the post.
A real phone test. We've never run the full loop on your actual phone outside (load film → walk → export → develop on the PC), and we haven't confirmed field mode works in airplane mode. The walk in step 1 would test both.
"My Agent Session" (optional, "judges love it"). This means sharing a record of this build session through DevRelay. It would make public that I built most of this with you. The post already says "AI-assisted", so that's consistent, but it's your call.

Where we changed the original plan, and why:
- The plan assumed an NVIDIA GPU. Your PC doesn't have one, so photos take about 2 minutes each. That's what led to the "develop at home like film" idea, which became the strongest part of the post.
- We skipped Vite, Render, and the in-browser AI fallback. The site runs on Vercel with no build step instead.
- The plan's demo video was supposed to be filmed outside. We made the voxel cartoon instead, with sample photos, and the post says so openly.

How many prize tracks does it cover? Two:
1. Overall winner ($250): every entry competes for this.
2. Best Use of Gemma ($200, a featured category): a strong fit, since Gemma does all the AI work.

The other categories (Render, ElevenLabs, GitHub Copilot and so on) only count if the project really uses that technology, and it doesn't. We could deploy to Render to qualify, but hosting a static site is a weak "meaningful use" and could look like box-ticking. You can only win once per challenge anyway, so I'd stay with these two.

My recommendation: do the short walk this week, send me your photos and a few honest sentences about it, and I'll add an "I took it outside" section to the post. That covers the bonus points and the real phone test together.

You

we should do all this

Let's do all three. Items 1 and 2 need you outside with your phone, so first I'll test everything I can from here and prepare a simple walk guide. Then I'll look into DevRelay for item 3.

Testing field mode with the network fully off, plus the export → import → develop loop:

# DevRelay Overview

## What is DevRelay?

DevRelay functions as "an MCP server and skill pack for your coding agent," enabling developers to interact with hackathons, publish work, and access community knowledge without leaving their development environment.

## Saving/Uploading Claude Code Sessions

The webpage describes the capability but doesn't provide exact command steps. It notes that users can "Save an agent transcript to DEV and embed it in a post," with the feature requiring agent permission before publishing.

## Data Upload Details

When publishing, DevRelay handles:
- Agent session transcripts
- Code snippets from your work
- Project information extracted from repositories
- Tags derived from code diffs

The platform emphasizes user control: "It checks with you before it registers, claims, or publishes anything."

## Privacy & Redaction

The content indicates drafts remain "private until you publish," but specific redaction mechanisms aren't detailed in the provided material.

## Embedding in DEV Posts

The webpage references an "Agent Session" tag for embedding transcripts in posts, though precise technical implementation steps aren't specified in this documentation.

**Installation** requires running a curl command, restarting your agent, and signing in with MLH credentials to begin using these features.

The code parses fine. Quick real test: phone offline, "Streets" picked:

1 message not shown

Agent

The easier quests are live. A test roll for "Streets" gave: a weed in a crack in the pavement, a tree beside a road, a leaf with a hole in it, something green smaller than your thumb, and so on. Now here are your guides.

📱 Your walk: step by step

🏠 At home, before you go (2 minutes, with Wi-Fi on)

On your phone, open Chrome and go to touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/app.html
Tap the ⋮ menu (top right) → Add to Home screen. Now it works even with no internet.
Open the app from the new icon on your home screen.
Tap where you're going: Streets, Park, Garden… Pick the one closest to the truth.
Tap Load film → then Start walking.
Turn your volume up a little; it reads each mission out loud.
Bonus (good for the story): turn on Airplane mode. You'll prove it works with no signal.

🌳 Outside (15–20 minutes)

Read the mission. Lock your phone and put it in your pocket. (The less the screen is on, the better your score.)
Walk slowly and look around.
Found it? Unlock → tap I FOUND IT → the camera opens → take one photo → tap ✓ / OK.
A new mission appears. Phone back in your pocket.
Can't find it around you? Just tap skip this one. Totally fine, and it's honest to say so in the post.
After the last one you'll see "Walk complete" with your minutes and glass-free %. 📸 Screenshot this screen (Power + Volume down).

🏡 Back home

Turn Airplane mode off. Tap Open the roll → Export. A file like roll-2026-10-07-ab12.json saves to your phone's Downloads.
Send that file to your computer: WhatsApp it to yourself, email it, or use a USB cable. Save it on the PC.
Tell me where you saved it. I'll import it and let Gemma develop your photos on your computer (about 2 minutes per photo), then show you the results.

✍️ Then tell me, like you're texting a friend

Where did you walk, and for how long? What was your glass-free %?
Your favourite find?
Which missions did you skip, and why?
Did Gemma get anything wrong when it developed them?
One thing you noticed that you'd usually walk past.
Send me 2–3 phone screenshots (a dark mission screen, and the "Walk complete" screen).

I'll turn that into a short, honest "I took it outside" section and add it to the post. That's the bonus points.

🤖 Agent session (2 minutes, at your computer, do it after the walk so it includes everything)

In Chrome, open dev.to/agent_sessions/new

Click Parse File. DEV cleans it up in your browser, then lets you untick parts. Your email address appears in a few git commands, so untick anything showing it, plus anything else you don't want public.
Click Save. It gives you a session ID. Send it to me, and I'll add a "My Agent Session" section to the post.

Deadline: Oct 11, 11:59 PM. Any daylight day before then works for the walk. 🌿

You

whats this for early

npm start

you didnt talk about it again

and for the things you want me to do and the walk guide, also attach link on it for easy access

Agent

What `npm start` is for

It's only for developing the photos on your computer.

The website on your phone (Vercel) handles the walk.
Gemma lives on your computer, and the public website can't reach it.
npm start runs a copy of the app on your computer, at http://localhost:5173. That copy can talk to Gemma and develop your photos.

You probably don't need to type it. I already have it running while this chat is open: http://localhost:5173/app.html. If you ever do need it yourself, open a terminal in the touch glass folder and run the command below, then open the localhost link. (Ollama, which runs Gemma, starts by itself on Windows.)

npm start

📱 Your walk, with links

🏠 At home, before you go (Wi-Fi on)

On your phone, open 👉 touch-grass-not-glass.vercel.app/app.html
Chrome ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen, then open the app from that icon.
Tap where you're going (Streets / Park / Garden / Trail / Water).
Tap Load film → Start walking. Volume up a little.
Bonus: turn on Airplane mode.

🌳 Outside (15–20 min)

Read the mission → lock the phone, pocket it, walk and look.
Found it → unlock → I FOUND IT → take one photo → ✓.
Can't find it → skip this one.
At the end, screenshot the "Walk complete" screen.

🏡 Back home

Airplane mode off → Open the roll → Export. A roll-….json file saves to Downloads.
Send the file to your PC (WhatsApp to yourself, email, or USB) and save it, for example in Downloads.
Tell me where it is, and I'll develop it at 👉 localhost:5173/app.html (Journal → Import a roll → Develop). Or do it yourself with those same three taps.

✍️ Text me

Where you walked, how long, your glass-free %, your favourite find, what you skipped, anything Gemma got wrong, and one thing you noticed. Plus 2–3 screenshots. I'll add it to 👉 your DEV post.

You're on the right page. The tricky bit is that the .claude folder is hidden, so you won't see it by clicking around. Easiest way:

Click "Drop your session file here or click to browse". A Windows file window opens.
At the bottom of that window there's a "File name:" box. Click in it.
Paste this whole line into it:

[REDACTED]\.claude\projects\C--Users-Admin-Desktop-touch-glass\fa682714-f507-44b2-835d-21de5eebe1ed.jsonl

Press Enter. The file is now selected (about 20 MB).

Click Parse File.
On the next screen, look through the parts and untick anything showing your email ([REDACTED]) or anything else you'd rather keep private.
Click Save, then send me the session ID or link it shows. I'll add a "My Agent Session" section to your post.

If the File name trick doesn't work, paste just the folder part ([REDACTED]\.claude\projects\C--Users-Admin-Desktop-touch-glass) into the address bar at the top of the file window, press Enter, and pick the file starting with fa682714.

I turned my sister in law's voice notes into a cookbook that answers in her voice

Elev 💥 — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 14:45:11 +0000

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend

What I Built

I have known Purity for ten years. She was my friend first. Today she is my younger brother's wife.

She is also the cook everyone waits for, and almost everything she makes, she learned from her mother. None of it is written down. It lives in her hands and in the way she explains it: half English, half Igbo, full of small warnings like pour away the first water and fry the fresh tomato first.

So this weekend I asked her for voice notes. One dish per note, explained the way she would if I were standing next to her in the kitchen. She sent eight: jollof rice, egusi soup with uziza seed, okra soup with uziza leaf and ugba, beans and ripe plantain cooked together, bitter leaf soup, abacha, porridge yam with ogiri, and egg sauce the way her elder sister taught her. Forty minutes of her voice.

Legacy Loom turns those voice notes into something the family can use:

Every note is written down word for word, with a timestamp on every word.
Every note is filed: the dish, the ingredients, the steps, her tricks, and the lines worth keeping exactly as she said them.
You can ask it anything. "What is the secret to her jollof?" "Why does she pour away the first water from the beans?" The answer uses only what she actually said, and each fact carries a small number. Tap the number and you hear Purity say it, from that exact second.
Her recipes become a printable cookbook. Every page has a QR code. Scan it and she explains the dish herself.
Ask about something she never mentioned and it says so plainly, then suggests a question to ask her next time.

When it was ready I sent her the link. She asked it about her own jollof, tapped a number and heard herself. This is what she sent back, exactly as she typed it:

wooow meeeenhn this is good, onyi you did a great job, i love this

What got her was hearing her own voice and seeing her mother's tricks written down as tips. That was the whole point.

Three questions worth asking her archive. Each link opens the app and asks it for you:

What did Purity learn from her mother?
What is the secret to her jollof rice? The answer quotes her in Igbo.
What did she say about her wedding? She never talked about it, so watch it say exactly that.

A private archive of one person's voice notes, built on open models (Gemma, Whisper, TabPFN) with MongoDB Atlas

Legacy Loom

Live: https://legacy-loom-ashen.vercel.app
App: https://legacy-loom-ashen.vercel.app/app
Docs: https://legacy-loom-ashen.vercel.app/docs

Legacy Loom keeps one person's voice notes and makes them useful. You drop in the voice notes a friend sends you (the recipes, the stories, the "this is how my mum did it"), and it turns them into a private archive you can ask questions of. Every answer links to the second they said it. Recipes become a printable cookbook, and each page has a QR code that plays the cook explaining the dish.

Open models do the core work: Gemma reads, files and answers, Whisper listens, and an open embedding model searches. Gemma and Whisper can run on a laptop with no GPU, so the voice notes don't have to leave the machine.

What it does

Ask. Gemma picks a tool (search the memories, look up a recipe, read the timeline, or ask the call planner), runs it, and answers only…

How I Built It

One voice note, start to finish

Store. The audio goes into MongoDB Atlas (GridFS) and is streamed back with byte ranges. That is what lets the player jump straight to a cited second.
Listen. faster-whisper, running the open Whisper weights on my laptop's CPU, writes every word down with its timing. The hosted version uses ElevenLabs Scribe instead. Both return the same shape, so nothing downstream cares which one ran.
File. Gemma reads the transcript and returns JSON: a title, what kind of memory it is, a summary, the people and places, the year if one is said, up to three exact quotes, and a recipe card with ingredients, steps and tips.
Index. The transcript is cut into passages of about 45 seconds that keep their timestamps. Each passage, plus one English overview of the note, is embedded with BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 (open, running through fastembed on ONNX) and stored in Atlas.
Ask. A small agent loop. Gemma picks a tool (search_memories, find_recipe, timeline or plan_calls). Search runs Atlas Vector Search and Atlas Search side by side and merges them with reciprocal rank fusion, so a passage that ranks well for meaning and for exact words rises to the top. Gemma answers only from the numbered passages and cites them.
Check. Every quote in the answer is compared with the real transcripts before you see it. More on why below.

Gemma, in two places

On my laptop (16 GB of RAM, no GPU) it runs Gemma 3 4B through Ollama. Filing a five minute note takes a minute or two on the CPU, which is fine in the background. The hosted demo uses Gemma 4 26B A4B through Google AI Studio, because a free serverless function cannot hold a 4B model. Same prompts, same code, one setting switches between them.

Two things I learned the hard way:

Gemma 4 thinks out loud by default. Its reasoning used around 300 tokens per answer and once used up the whole output budget before it wrote the recipe card. Setting its thinking level to minimal brought answers down to about three seconds.
The small model sometimes labels a note "recipe" and then leaves the recipe card empty. When that happens, Legacy Loom asks Gemma a second, narrower question for just the card.

The rule it never bends: no invented quotes

Early on, testing with a short clip, the 4B model wrote this:

She always said, "It's a good, warming soup."

Nobody ever said that. The model was trying to be warm. In an archive of someone's voice, that is the one mistake you cannot make, so now every quoted span is checked against what was actually said. A sentence quoting words that are not in any transcript is removed, and the answer shows Removed 1 quote that was never said.

Then Purity's real notes found a sneakier version. Gemma 4 joined two true sentences into one quote:

"Everything I know today is my mom that taught me that uziza leaf and the uziza seed gives it a very sweet flavor"

She said both halves, minutes apart. She never said them together. My first checker glued all her saved quotes into one block of text, so the stitched quote passed. Now each passage is checked on its own, Gemma is told to quote one sentence at a time, and there are tests for a real quote, an invented one and a stitched one.

TabPFN: the best time to call

Every recording is a session: what hour, what day, who asked, what topic, how long she spoke. I rate each session from one to five. TabPFN, the tabular foundation model from Prior Labs, is built for exactly this size of table: a few dozen rows, no training loop of my own. It learns which days, hours and topics tend to give the recordings we treasure, scores every hour of the coming week, and a second TabPFN model estimates how many minutes she will talk.

When I first published this, Purity had sent five notes, all rated five stars, and the planner refused to guess. It needs at least eight rated sessions, with some that went less well. She sent three more that afternoon. I rated them honestly (egg sauce 3, abacha 4, porridge yam 3) and TabPFN switched on.

Its first real forecast: call her around 1 PM, with a 91% chance of a keeper recording, and expect about five minutes of talk. That lines up with what happened. Her five notes from one o'clock all got five stars, and the later afternoon ones I rated lower. It cannot tell weekdays apart yet, because every note so far was recorded on the same Sunday. It runs through the Prior Labs API, and the open tabpfn package works too.

Making it work on free hosting

The bundle was too big. The full app came to 554 MB against Vercel's 500 MB limit, because the TabPFN client brings pandas, pyarrow, scipy and scikit learn with it. The planner now runs as its own small Vercel project, and the main site forwards /api/planner to it.
Serverless functions stop when they reply, so on Vercel a voice note is transcribed, filed and indexed inside the upload request. A five minute note takes about 30 seconds.
Two spaces. Purity's archive is read only without a passcode, so nobody can delete her voice. A separate Try it yourself space is open to everyone, kept apart in every query and search filter, and cleared after 24 hours.
Read aloud uses ElevenLabs. Each clip is cached, and new clips are limited to three per visitor per day so the free credits last through judging. Purity's own recordings are never limited.

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?

Because these are a family's recipes in a woman's own voice. On my laptop, with Ollama, Whisper and the open embedding model, the listening, filing and answering all happen on the machine. Her recordings never have to leave it. The hosted demo trades that for convenience so you can try it in a browser, and the code runs either way.

Because Purity speaks Igbo. She moves between English and Igbo in the middle of a sentence. Whisper does not list Igbo among its languages. Because every piece of the pipeline is open and separate, I could put ElevenLabs Scribe in for her notes without touching anything else. The transcript, Gemma, the search and the quote check all work the same. When a model does not fit the person, you change the model, not the person.

Because I could see what went wrong. When the small model invented a quote, I could read the prompt, the output and the transcript side by side, change my own code, and write a test so it never comes back. Running the same prompts on Gemma 3 4B and Gemma 4 26B also showed me which mistakes were the model's size and which were my prompt.

Because it costs nothing to keep. Locally it is free. Hosted, it fits inside free tiers. A family archive should not need a subscription to stay alive.

Where the open path cost me something: speed. On my CPU, Gemma 3 4B takes a minute or two to file one note, and the hosted Gemma 4 does it in seconds. For a demo the hosted path is the right call. For Purity's own copy, I would pick the laptop.

My Agent Session

I built Legacy Loom with Claude Code as my pair programmer over the weekend: planning, the pipeline, the debugging stories above, and the deploys.

Update, Sunday evening: after this went live, Purity sent three more voice notes: egg sauce, abacha and porridge yam. Her archive now holds eight recordings and forty minutes of her voice, and the TabPFN planner is forecasting from real ratings (see above).

Thank you, Purity, for trusting me with your mother's recipes and your voice. And thank you, Silver, who sent five recordings of her own the same afternoon and reminded me this is not a one person problem.
