Bazi Kaki

Hey everyone, Uncle Chua here! 👋 I wanted to share a bit of the backstory on why I built Bazi Kaki. The Inspiration & The Problem: I’ve always had a deep interest in Chinese Metaphysics, but I found that most existing tools were either overly complicated, expensive, or stuck in the 90s. The problem I wanted to solve was accessibility. I wanted to answer the question: "How can I make Bazi readings as easy and routine as checking the weather?" How the Process Evolved: When I started, I was obsessed with the calculation engine—getting the math for the Solar terms and pillars perfect. However, as I iterated, I realized that accuracy means nothing if the interface is clunky. My approach shifted from "building a calculator" to "building a companion." I stripped away the clutter and focused on the Daily Reading aspect. Leveraging the same PWA framework I used for Kopi Kaki and Huat Kaki, I ensured it loads instantly on any device. I’d love to hear your thoughts—what’s one feature you wish Bazi apps had but can never find?
