Projects in TârgovișteProjects in TârgovișteMy project for the Replit buildathon: Synapse.
Synapse is the app that makes easy synapses between company and team brains.
Idea: Drop in your raw meeting notes or a shared document, add your team members and their roles, and Synapse gives you back a clear summary of what to do, weighted by each person's actual expertise and position on that task.
Example scenario: A technical concern from your engineer carries more weight on a technical call;
a UX call from your designer carries more weight on design.
No more discussion-to-action gap.
Features:
-If tasks overlap or conflict, Synapse flags it, and doesn't just point at the problem.
-It proposes a concrete way to resolve it: who should own it, what conversation needs to happen, what safeguard to put in place.
Task-oriented, not just informative.
Output: something a team can act on in the next five minutes, not another thing to discuss in the next meeting.
Where it's headed: the three pillars I set aside to ship this in time stream-of-context health checks, a focus mode for quieter notification periods, and momentum tracking (streaks, follow-through over time) .
This submission proved the core loop works; the rest scales it.

My topic:Livestream & VTuber
Hi, I saw online that IRL LiveStreaming is one of the hottest niches for some time now, but it is also the most dangerous one. I saw multiple videos of streamers being intimidated, provoked and even harassed.
This is not about streaming, its about humans feeling safe.
Today, in 8 full focused hours I put the pillars of the project PulseOS.
It gives updates to the creator about:
-Idle: basic state
-Notifications : ex: one new paid subscriber
-Ai-Summaries: ex: summary of the last 5 minutes of the live-chat energy
-Critical-Alert: ex: someone is following a creator, the chat is typing more than the usual flow of messages->activates triggering automation->creator sees what the chat is talking about
I projected this idea with 7 pillars, so here are the next 3, which I sacrificed for this demo, to be able to do the 4 pillars as intended.
The other 3 pillars:
-Stream health: ex: camera battery %, temperature of CPU
-Focus mode: ex: when streamer is serious, notifications are subtle almost non-existent for that time
-Achievement: ex: 1000 followers in the past month, 12 hours live in the past 3 days
I got around the paywall and prototyped a flux on notification with Make.com (https://Make.com) on HTML with POST Requests with the help of Ably.

X link:https://x.com/ydgsgiwhs/status/2085972264185409606?s=20 what I built?
A summer drink generator (random). It gives you a mix of 3 random ingredients in the categories of BASE;FLAVOUR;TOPPING and then it gives you a VIBE CHECK score (random) so you know how good your summer is summering!!
why i build it?
I always want to cook the recipes from on-line, but they always get lost in the 'saved' tab, so, I came up with a plan of designing an amazing app of getting rid of this problem by actually having a recipe book full of saved videos and ingredients lists and so on, but I found that I could not make a snap filter about this, so, the next best thing, was to make a meal generator, but that was too broad, so I made a drink generator, especially summer drinks.
So, I will get to work on the bigger project, but this is for me and all of you, to enjoy a quick tasty experiment😉 .

X post link:https://x.com/ydgsgiwhs/status/2084775585893499176?s=20 I realized recently that I couldn't find some of my oldest childhood friends online. Instagram handles change, Facebook feels like a ghost town, and the internet,despite connecting the whole world,somehow forgot about the class of 2012. So, I decided to build a place for us.
The Solution:
Meet Catalog. A mobile MVP designed not as a noisy social network, but as a quiet sanctuary. No endless feeds, no gamification. Just a calm, nostalgic space (built with a strict Notion & Daylio-inspired design system) to find your old school, claim your class, and share memories.
The "Messy Middle" (How I built it):
For the challenge, I didn't just want to drag and drop. I wanted to push the technical limits:
The Architecture: I used for the first time the Model Context Protocol (MCP) via Cursor (first time too) to inject a strict design system directly into #Flowstep using prompt engineering.
The Reality: Building is messy! As you can see in my demo video, my laptop battery almost LITERALLY died mid-generation, and the AI created some duplicate branches. But that’s the beauty of being a Product Engineer. I jumped into the Flowstep canvas, cleaned the architecture, exported the native layers into Figma, and manually wired the final prototype to perfection.
What's Next & Let's Connect:
This UI prototype is just the beginning. With my background in Software Engineering and Data Science, I am going to build the real backend for this. To ensure safety, I plan to integrate an OAuth verification system (like Instagram API) so users can securely verify their identities before seeing sensitive contact info.
I want to see this project come alive so I can finally find my long-lost friends, and I hope it helps you find yours, too.
Want to collaborate on making this real?I will make this a study-case on my blog where you can see more updates or reach out

Personal page: https://garrulous-build-logic-flow.base44.app/ Hei again! Just wanted to post a quick update on "Catalog" — my project for finding those long-lost middle school friends.
I just recorded a demo to show the "messy middle" of my workflow. Since my goal is to eventually bring this to life with my software engineering background, I really wanted to push the technical side of this challenge. I used the Flowstep MCP integration in Cursor to inject a strict, calm design system directly into the canvas. I want this app to feel nostalgic and safe, not like a noisy, complicated social media feed.
Of course, building is never perfect on the first try! The AI got a bit too excited and over-delivered by creating a few duplicate flow screens. So, I jumped into the Flowstep canvas, cleaned up the architecture, and then exported all the native layers straight into Figma. Now, all the connections are manually wired up and you can see the fully clickable flow working beautifully on an iPhone 14 demo!
Also, thinking ahead about how this would actually function in the real world: safety is the biggest hurdle. In the video, I talk a bit about the product vision. To make this safe, the real backend would use an API integration (like Instagram OAuth) to verify someone's identity before revealing any sensitive contact details or phone numbers. It's the only way to make sure you are actually talking to your old desk mate.
It's almost 6 AM here and I’ve been up all night building this, but seeing the prototype finally come alive and clickable in Figma makes it all worth it. I'm going to get a few hours of sleep and then I'll post the official final submission later today.
Hope you guys like the demo so far!

hei, just wanted to document my start of the project "Catalog", which for me and my whole generation of colleagues represents the binding stone for all of our 4 years of middle school.
This project is made from a heartfelt place, as I find myself sometimes searching for my old best-friends from middle school on social media to keep in touch, but I hit that stone wall where I cannot find them anywhere, as new instagram usernames are too complicated to keep in mind for 8+ years after, and facebook is too old school for some of them, so they never have set up an account.
Here I will represent the demo of my idea, but I will push forward with this idea with my background in software engineering, so that I would make this project alive and one day, I will find my long-lost friend, and I hope all of you will find your lost-friends someday too.
'photo from the first prompt output for this project' From AI Slop to Autonomous Pipeline: Drilling for Data with Base44 & Envato 🛢️⚡
The Backstory: The Panic & The Concept
I spend my days building raw, headless, zero-touch B2B data pipelines. But recently, a high-ticket client asked the one question that terrifies every backend builder: "Can I see your portfolio?" I didn't have one. I had 48 hours to prove I wasn't just talking.
I spun up Base44. It generated a structural layout in seconds, which was sick, but the content? Absolute corporate AI slop. Fake statistics, soulless design, empty words. It was a dead skeleton. I needed to override the AI and give it a heartbeat, which led me to the core theme of this project: Drilling.
I grew up in Moreni, Romania—the 3rd place on Earth to extract oil back in 1929. My great-grandparents literally drilled the earth for raw fuel. Today? I drill the modern web for unstructured data. So, I turned the Base44 template into a digital drilling rig. As you scroll down the depth gauge (from 0m to 1420m), you dive deeper into my real, live architectures.
The Envato Glow-Up: Injecting the Soul
A cool metaphor is nothing without the right aesthetic. I wanted the site and the video to feel like a high-tension tech thriller. I hit Envato Elements to completely override the AI's generic look:
The Visuals: I ripped out the plain background and injected a dark, industrial grainy texture via CSS to give it that gritty, underground feel. I swapped the AI placeholders with my actual live work: geospatial heatmaps, running Make.com (http://Make.com) webhooks, and my NLP LLM-as-a-Judge Streamlit app.
The Sound Design (SFX): I wanted the viewer to feel the pressure. I used Envato for the dark cinematic synthwave track, heavy sub-boom drops for the panic moments, digital error buzzers when the AI failed, and rapid-fire UI clicks.
The Voice: I used a cinematic AI voice generator to narrate the exact moment my ancestors' history connected with my modern tech stack.
The Video: Learning DaVinci Resolve in 5 Hours
Here’s the craziest part of this submission: I didn’t know how to edit videos before this weekend. I wanted the pitch video to be as dynamic as my code, so I literally learned DaVinci Resolve from absolute zero in 5 hours just for this challenge. I built a 4-way split-screen grid and edited a rapid-fire "ladder" sequence of me downloading Envato assets, synced perfectly to mechanical keyboard clicks every 0.2 seconds. It’s raw, fast, and shows exactly how I operate.
The Result
I didn't just build a pretty template. I built a fully functional B2B infrastructure. The contact form at the bottom of the site is hardwired via webhooks straight into my Make.com (http://Make.com) pipelines.
AI gave me the speed and the skeleton. Envato gave it the aesthetic and the soul. My ancestors drilled for oil. I automate the future.

#HumanByDesign #GiveItAGlow #EnvatoChallenge #BuildInPublic #Base44 🔨 While everyone else was building loyalty apps for cafés and salons, I went hunting for B2B.
I'm a student in Maastricht, and I deliberately searched the Netherlands for a real industrial business, because every other #GiveItAGlow entry I saw was consumer-facing, and nobody was touching the heavy industry.
I found Laska Speciaal Lasbedrijf: an industrial welding company in Rotterdam, running since 1950. 76 years, five-star reputation, real B2B clients in construction and marine.
One problem: their "Request a Quote" form was broken. Not slow, not outdated — actually broken, showing a raw code error instead of a form. Every day it sat like that, they were losing quote requests from companies who needed an answer fast. 💸
So I rebuilt it. ⚒️
🌐 A professional industrial site — their real 76-year history, real photos of real completed work
📋 A working multi-step quote form — material, scope, deadline, file upload
🤖 An AI workflow that reads every request, classifies it as standard or high-priority based on material and scope, and tells the client what to expect — 3 hours for standard jobs, 24 hours for complex ones — while instantly flagging urgent jobs for the shop manager
I reached out to the real owners by phone and email. They're closed for the weekend, so I'm still waiting to hear back — but wanted to share what's already live and working. 🔥
