Tarot Mania: AI-powered tarot readings in 9 languages

What inspired you to build this? What problem were you trying to solve? The inspiration came directly from my personal life—my wife loves Tarot and would ask me to do readings for her very often. While I enjoyed it, I realized that most digital Tarot apps she could use on her own were incredibly static. You click a button and get a generic, pre-written block of text that barely relates to your actual situation. On the flip side, generic AI chatbots lack the atmosphere, ritual, and visual experience of a real reading. I built Tarot Mania to bridge that gap. I wanted to create a deeply personalized and immersive experience where the AI dynamically interprets your specific combination of cards in the exact context of your question, all while preserving the suspense and beauty of a physical reading. How did your approach or process evolve while working on this launch? My approach evolved significantly because of a major life change: my office was shut down and my position was eliminated. Suddenly finding myself between jobs, I decided to take the time I now had to turn this from a simple side project into an amazing, polished app. Initially, my focus was purely on the AI generation side—getting accurate, contextual interpretations. But having the dedicated time to really dive in, I realized that the ritual of the reading matters just as much as the text. I pivoted to focus heavily on the frontend (building a React/Vite SPA) to handle interactive card spreads, tactile reveals, and real-time AI streaming so the reading unfolds dynamically before your eyes. What started as a small tool for my wife evolved into a complete, immersive platform.
