Does “vibe coding” count :-) I’m from west Africa and lately been very interested in African fairy tales to read to my daughter. Ended up building ( a GPT-backed interface that can insert her in any African story she wants. We also have a list of African queens who’re not famous anymore but did amazing things (look up Queen Nzinga for example). So I’m doing a series of little children’s books about each queen - have them exported to PDF so I can print them out and bind for her: her own little Collection of fairytales. I plan to put it online later - even if you’re not African I think it’s a great way to explore our history.

This sounds pretty cool. As another commenter asked if you have a write up, I just want to throw my hat in and say, I would enjoy reading a write up what your doing. From the technical bits to a review by your daughter of how well the stories came out.

Thank you. Yes she’s been enjoying them a lot now that we don’t have to repeat the same stories every night :) I’ll share on here once I’m done and also the right up.

I love learning more history, thank you for the recommendation, I would have never discovered this myself.

Sounds super unique. Please include me too if you do any public follow up? I'd actually enjoy reading those, myself as I've collected folktale collections for years!

Will do. Hn has no way of tagging people or following up though so I’m not sure how to share once I go live. But if you shoot me a message I’ll update you once done. amrangaye at gmail dot com.

Would love to do something similar. Have you written about the technicals/set up somewhere?

[amrangaye]

Not yet as I’m still finessing it to her needs. She has a problem getting rid of thumb sucking, and finally asked for a fairy tale with a thumb sucking princess who eventually stops sucking her thumb lol. It’s a fun activity and also letting me learn about LLMs.
