Locket Oracle is a playful digital fortune teller that brings the experience of getting a tarot reading into your own hands.
The idea started with a simple thought: I could sit in my local dive bar pub and give people tarot readings. But building a digital fortune teller seemed easier, and potentially more fun. Instead of waiting to find a fortune teller, Locket Oracle lets you step into your own little world of mystery, make a choice, ask a question, and see what the cards have to say.
The app is designed with a vintage game aesthetic. It is not trying to make tarot feel overly serious or mystical. It is about creating a playful, immersive experience that makes you want to keep exploring.
Underneath the playful presentation, the tarot itself is treated seriously. The readings are grounded in traditional tarot meanings and symbolism, with the AI using those meanings as the foundation for interpreting the cards in the context of the user’s question.
You can choose between a one card reading, a three card reading, or a full ten card Celtic Cross reading. The experience adapts to the kind of question you bring to it, from something thoughtful and specific to something completely trivial or wonderfully strange.
The one card reading costs just 50p. I wanted it to feel almost as accessible as free, while still giving the user a small moment of intention. The idea is that putting even a tiny amount of intention into the question makes the experience more engaging.
At its heart, Locket Oracle solves a very simple problem: it gives you an instant personalised tarot experience without needing to find a fortune teller. There’s one in your pocket. It takes you on a small personal journey, with the cards and your question coming together to create a reading that feels like it belongs to you.
Perfect for when you want a little bit of magic, entertainment, or perspective right now. Maybe you’re at the pub with friends and have a ridiculous question. Maybe you have a genuine dilemma. Maybe you just want to see what happens if you ask the cards something completely absurd.
I built it in Bubble with Bubble’s AI tools and ChatGPT. Bubble handled the app structure, workflows, database and integrations, while ChatGPT helped build and debug much of the logic, particularly the more complex parts of the reading, card drawing and payment journey. There were also a few places where Bubble’s AI and ChatGPT approached problems differently, which became a surprisingly useful part of the building process. Together, they helped turn the idea into a working product.
The app integrates Stripe for payments and AI to generate personalised readings from the cards drawn. The result is part tarot reading, part game, and part digital night out.
My first plan is to take Locket Oracle back to the pub where the idea started and see what people make of it.
I’m planning to introduce it in pubs through simple QR codes, so anyone who is curious can scan, ask a question and get a reading there and then.
Basically, it is a fortune teller you can carry around in your pocket.

SOL – Seeds of Love is a platform that connects wellness experiences with social impact.
Users can discover and book experiences such as yoga, breathwork, workshops and retreats, while supporting a social cause at the same time. A portion of every booking automatically contributes to a cause chosen by the user.
Facilitators can create and manage their own experiences, while nonprofits can join the platform, share their mission and receive support from the community.
I built SOL entirely with Bubble, including the marketplace, advanced search and filtering, booking flows, Stripe payments, user dashboards and the connection between experiences and social causes.
The idea behind SOL is simple: make doing something good for yourself also do good for someone else. 🌱💚
Launching start of September, some NGO and Facilitators are already registerd. App built 100% solo, so feedback is really appreciated 🙏
I hope you will enjoy this video !

Hey Fabien - great work! Do you have a bubble project link that you can share along with your submission for the team to verify it was a bubble build?
Stacks Shield
Private peer-to-peer payments on Stacks Blockchain a Bitcoin Layer 2 , powered by zero-knowledge proofs.
Stacks Shield is a privacy application that enables users to shield STX and SIP-10 assets such as sBTC and USDCx, transfer value privately, split and merge shielded notes, and withdraw funds to a transparent Stacks address.
The application addresses a simple problem: blockchain transactions are publicly visible, making it difficult for users to maintain financial privacy when sending or receiving assets.
Stacks Shield uses zkSNARKs to prove that private transactions are valid without exposing the underlying note ownership and transaction details.
WHAT USERS CAN DO
Shield STX, sBTC, or USDCx into a private pool
Scan for their encrypted shielded notes
Transfer assets privately to another shielded address
Split shielded notes
Merge shielded notes
Withdraw assets to a transparent Stacks address
The application has been tested end-to-end on Stacks Testnet with STX, sBTC, and USDCx.
HOW WE BUILT IT
The privacy protocol is powered by a stack of zero-knowledge infrastructure, including zkSNARK circuits, zkVerify, Stacks/Clarity smart contracts, an API, relayer, and a developer SDK.
For this challenge, we used Bubble to design and build the frontend application, creating the user interface and interaction experience that brings the underlying privacy infrastructure together into a usable product.
The goal was to make a technically complex ZK privacy system feel simple from the user's perspective: select an asset, choose an operation, and let the application handle the underlying cryptography and blockchain infrastructure.
WHY BUBBLE
One of the reasons we chose Bubble for the frontend was to focus on product experience rather than spending the challenge rebuilding UI infrastructure from scratch.
Bubble allowed us to rapidly design and build the application interface around an already-working blockchain privacy protocol and turn a complex ZK workflow into a user-facing application.
The result is a frontend where users interact with familiar payment flows while the underlying system handles shielded notes, proofs, verification, relaying, and Stacks transactions.

Hmmm the search console shows that you didn't use Bubble as a frontend at all 🤔
THE BEST APP ICON MAY NOT EXPLAIN THE PRODUCT.
It may trigger the next open.
Same pet app. Two behavioral cues.
🐾 A creates instant recognition. The brain connects the icon with the pet before processing a feature or task.
📅 B creates functional context. It signals there is something to remember, check or manage.
Both work, but for different parts of retention
Recognition builds familiarity. Context creates a reason to return.
The real growth question:
Which cue is stronger once the user already understands the product?
🐾 A Emotional recognition
📅 B Functional intent
👇 Which one would make you reopen the app?

I think B is the better option, though it could use a little more contrast. A feels too generic, if my Paws & Palms became an app, its icon could end up looking very similar to A and get confused with other apps. Something more unique and instantly identifiable would help it stand out.
