PWA
Next.js 16React 19TypeScriptSupabaseTailwind CSSPWAA PWA that helps homeowners track every system, appliance, and fixture in their home. Snap a photo of a broken part and AI identifies it with replacement suggestions. Includes a maintenance history timeline, an AI chat assistant that knows your home's inventory, and a dashboard surfacing what needs attention.
// highlights
- Photo-based part identification via Gemini 2.0 Flash vision
- Context-aware AI chat assistant that knows your home inventory
- Maintenance event timeline (incidents, repairs, replacements)
- Installable PWA with camera integration
- Supabase backend with real-time inventory management
// takeaways
- Vision AI for household items works surprisingly well with minimal prompt engineering
- Injecting full inventory context into the chat system prompt makes the assistant dramatically more useful
- PWA camera integration is powerful but requires careful permission handling across browsers
- Swapping AI providers mid-project (Anthropic to Gemini) was painless thanks to Vercel's AI SDK abstraction layer
