β€œWhat if spending less time scrolling meant more time exploring the real world? πŸŒ±β€




 πŸŒ±πŸŽƒ Introducing TouchQuest β€” My Hacktoberfest 2026 Project!

What if spending less time scrolling and more time experiencing the real world felt like completing a game?

That idea inspired me to build TouchQuest β€” a gamified experience designed to encourage people to step away from their screens, explore the world around them, and build healthier offline habits.

🎯 What can you do with TouchQuest?

  • 🧭 Discover real-world quests and small challenges
  • ⚑ Turn everyday activities into achievable goals
  • πŸ”₯ Build consistency with streaks and XP
  • πŸ“ˆ Track your progress as you complete quests
  • 🌿 Make spending time offline more engaging

πŸ› οΈ Built with:
Next.js β€’ React β€’ TypeScript β€’ Prisma β€’ PostgreSQL (Neon)

Building TouchQuest has given me hands-on experience with full-stack development, database design, application logic, and deployment. I've also been working on making the experience simple, practical, and enjoyable.

πŸš€ Try it out:

🌐 Live Demo: https://touchquestai-1.onrender.com/

πŸ’» GitHub Repository: https://github.com/klaus007p/TouchQuestAI

I'm building, learning, experimenting, and sharing my work with the open-source community this Hacktoberfest.

The idea is simple: Your next quest starts when you put your phone down. πŸŒŽπŸ’š

I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas for making TouchQuest better!
