🍲🥁 OkraSynth — Cook Your Culture Into Sound
What if the next iconic interaction paradigm didn't come from Silicon Valley?
OkraSynth is my answer. Drag West African ingredients into a cooking pot and hear your dish compose itself as music in real time. Kontomire becomes soft strings. Plantain becomes bass. Shito becomes a snare crack. Every combination sounds different. Every dish tells a story.
When your pot is full, hit Serve — and get a Kente-pattern album cover of the composition you just created.

It's rooted in something real. African cooking has
always been compositional. You layer ingredients by
intuition. You listen for the right sizzle. You know
it's ready before you can explain why. That's
musicianship. We just never built software around it.

Cooking Party Booking Experience ✨
Hi Contra Community ❤️ Taking part in a Lovable challenge feels like the perfect way to celebrate reaching 1,000 followers and to build something meaningful along the way 💃
I built a complete booking experience for cooking host in Prague 🥙 who organizes culinary parties and currently manages everything through Instagram DMs
⛔ Before: Instagram DMs → questions → checking availability → manual confirmation → rescheduling → reminders
✅ After: Choose an event → book a spot → get confirmation → add to calendar → reschedule or cancel yourself
The host also gets an admin dashboard to manage bookings, guest information, and communication with less manual work and more control

🎥 Demo & Process - Video is attached to this post
In the video, I also share the full creation process from Figma to Lovable, Resend, Supabase, mobile adaptation, admin dashboard, and end-to-end testing
📚 Resources
If you’re also exploring how to connect Lovable + Resend + Supabase, I recommend checking out the tutorials on the Lovable YouTube channel. They were really helpful while building this project: https://www.youtube.com/live/5ZL744_Wxjo?si=Dhw7K84V65OS--Ix
🎁 I also put together a short guide with booking-flow best practices from Nielsen Norman Group, based on my research for this challenge: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qApc_y8A1GjY3FLLBaluOCzHtXj6ecmf/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111384458084546297516&rtpof=true&sd=true

This video wasn't filmed - it was cooked up in neural networks: we brought the idea to a boil, let the tastiest part float to the top, and served it.
Featuring: a pearl-and-pelmeni choker by Krivokoso - a piece you want to wear and eat at the same time. Hot, fresh, Al-generated.
Enjoy the show.

Project Title:
AÉVRA — AI-Driven Horological Conservation Atelier & Dual Cockpit
The Hook (Opening line that grabs attention):
"Every mechanical watch has thousands of micro-components—and usually, a customer experience stuck in 2004. We rebuilt the horological conservation pipeline from scratch."
Overview & Story:
Most watch restoration platforms alienate customers with esoteric technical jargon and static forms. AÉVRA was created to preserve timepieces for what they mean, not just what they cost—combining editorial Swiss atelier aesthetics, real-time 3D motion, and AI-driven intake.
The Problem:
Customers with heirlooms or vintage pieces don't know reference numbers or movement calibres.
Atelier watchmakers spend hours manually triaging vague emails before diagnosing a single watch.
The Solution & Key Features:
Natural Language Horological Intake: Clients describe their watch issue in plain English (e.g., "losing time and scratched crystal"). The system automatically maps symptoms to mechanical calibres, delivering immediate clarity on services, timeline, and preliminary cost estimates.
Cinematic 3D Photographic Scroller: A high-fidelity scroll journey that physically disassembles and reassembles the movement's case, bezel, balance wheel, and gear train at 60fps.
The Conservator’s Owner Cockpit: A private, real-time management dashboard allowing atelier owners to view incoming requests, evaluate AI diagnostic breakdowns, and accept or decline repair commissions with instant, seamless switching between client and owner views.
Tech Stack & Craft:
Platform: Lovable
Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Motion & 3D: GSAP ScrollTrigger, Three.js / Canvas, Lenis Smooth Scroll
State Management: Zustand with local persistence
