Today I finalized the idea for my project after exploring a few different concepts. I decided to build Rize, a life RPG that turns real-life activities into quests and rewards personal growth with XP, levels, and character progression. The idea is inspired by my own experiences. I’m an introvert and an only child, so I sometimes struggle to stay motivated, step out of my comfort zone, and maintain good habits. I wanted to build something that would make self-improvement feel more fun and rewarding, not like another boring to-do list.I also finalized the tech stack I’ll be using: React for the frontend, Python (FastAPI) for the backend, SQLite for the database, and Gemini for the AI features. Since I’m still learning and don’t have a lot of experience building projects of this scale, I’ve been using AI occasionally to brainstorm ideas, understand concepts, and get unstuck when I run into problems. I’m treating it as a learning tool while making the design decisions and building the project myself.Most of today’s progress was spent planning instead of coding. I organized the core features, decided how the progression system would work, and created a development roadmap so I have a clear direction before I start implementing everything.
