Mini Databases for a Small Project: TXT, CSV, JSON, SQLite, or Supabase?

You build a small AI thing. A weekend tool, a side project, a micro-app. Then someone asks where the data lives, and suddenly you are shopping for a database like you are buying a wedding suit for a coffee date.

Ariel’s take: start as small as possible, then upgrade only when the project actually screams for it. This video is a ladder of data stores, from a bare text file up to a managed cloud backend, plus the real talk on secrets, GDPR, and when “simple” becomes stupid.

Building a Reading App for Dyslexics: A Real Vibe-Coding Build Log

Most vibe-coding demos stop at a landing page or a to-do list. This one goes further: a community student named Shani walks through building a real mobile app that helps dyslexic readers listen to any book by pointing a phone camera at the page.

The video is a long, honest build log. Shani explains the motivation, the dead ends, the tools she chose, the prompts that worked, and the security mistakes she almost shipped. It is one of the better examples of what AI-assisted development actually looks like when the goal is a working product, not a Twitter clip.
