Two weeks ago I shared how I built Chinese Culture Studio — a solo project bringing classical Chinese traditions to the browser. Since then I've shipped quite a bit:
What's New:
✋ Palm Reading (手相) — Upload a photo of your palm and get an AI analysis based on real classical texts like Ma Yi Shen Xiang (麻衣神相). The model identifies your five elements hand type, reads the three talent lines (heaven/human/earth), and analyzes the nine palaces of the palm. Full privacy design: your image is held in RAM for max 5 minutes, never touches disk, and is deleted the moment your reading completes.
💰 Pay-what-you-want — Switched from fixed $1 to contribution-based pricing. Pick $1, $3, $5, $10, or custom. Still free to try twice.
📜 Real voice pronunciation — Chinese names now come with speech synthesis so you can hear them spoken aloud (slowed down for learners).
🔒 Privacy-first biometric handling — GDPR, BIPA (Illinois), and CCPA compliant. Explicit consent required. Zero persistence.
Tech Stack:
Next.js 14 · Neon PostgreSQL · Prisma · Tailwind CSS · PayPal · OpenRouter (Qwen VL) · Render

Would love feedback from the dev community — especially on the AI vision pipeline and privacy architecture!
