Cosmic Hunt: Discovery Feed for Sci-Fi Products
Cosmic Hunt reimagines Product Hunt through a sci-fi lens. Users can post fictional interstellar gadgets, browse launches, discuss product details, and up-vote the ideas they find most compelling. The live demo is available at cosmic-hunt.onrender.com.
Building for Submission, Discovery, and Conversation
What makes this kind of product interesting is the overlap between data structure and feed behavior. A launch platform has to support creation, browsing, ranking, and discussion without letting the interface feel noisy. The themed framing adds visual character, but the real work lives in making the product loop feel coherent from post creation through feedback and engagement.
Focus: Community product patterns, feed-based UX, and authenticated CRUD.
Stack: React, Node, Sequelize, product and review models, and user authorization.
What it shows: My ability to translate a known platform pattern into a more distinctive experience.

Why It Matters
Cosmic Hunt highlights one of my favorite kinds of software problems: taking a product archetype people already understand and reworking it through theme, interface, and interaction to make it feel more authored. It is both a technical exercise and a design exercise, which is exactly where I do my best work.
