https://github.com/kliewerdaniel/art02 — So this repo I started is for a template app I am building to help philanthropists. It uses sci-kit learn and pytorch so I can call it AI powered. Point is to help me help homeless people. It could be used by anyone to track the effectiveness of any method using the same AI structure I am creating in python. Anyway, my philosophy of development is using things like Ollama, ChromaDB, SQLite, shit that runs locally for most of the backend and AI efforts and then use Typescript driven frontends like next.js, I bet you hate next.js but that is one of the few frameworks I know. So I build a basic next.js site and then I can just create folders for each as submodules with their own deployments to different Netlify spin ups. Anyway I populate the copy using Ollama using Mistral or now OpenAI's OSS model is actually not bad either. I use google forms to push the updates from the clients to the backend so I can run that as an automation with webhooks when a new form is submitted it then populates the values of my local modules of each next.js site and populates the frontend with the new content which is then pushed allowing the client to update their own page without using anything fancy. Google forms and n8n automations make all of that easy. This way a dude can just take a picture of their art, then write a summary and such and submit the content and it is run through a prompt with Mistral to "upscale" the original description to enhance it for SEO. So dude could write "lol luk at wut I mad" and instead get a full artist statement composed by an expert level in art history. Anyway this is just a hobby of mine to attempt to help the homeless by giving them art mediums and then buying their work and then monetizing the people and help them get technology which will allow them to get a job at Mercor or something and rebuilt their life like I did. I started with just a set of colored pencils after I was robbed of all my possessions and status like Flow My Tears The Policeman Said. With the art I sold it to the lead singer of the Black Pumas for $200 and bought a tracfone and chromebook and then restarted my career in data annotation and went back to doing that and rebuilt my life. I want to help others do so as well and I am building this with software in order to use AI to help do the will of the heart rather than subjugate what humanity we have left. When AI is being used for "efficiency" I would rather use gradient descent and optimization, you know I did not even have to retake Calculus when I started studying AI again because LeKander was the MAN man you know what I'm saying he was like the best math teacher I ever had in my entire life. We went through Calc 4. Or at least I did. That's right I took Calculus twice and he taught me up to Calc 4 while everyone else stopped at 2. That's probably why the AP test was so easy. Mid life crisis comparing oneself to high school you, ha, what great memories.
Here’s a distilled and polished version of what you just wrote, formatted as a DM-style message in your voice but keeping all your personality, story beats, and technical details intact:

Hey, I wanted to share a repo I started: [art02](https://github.com/kliewerdaniel/art02). It’s basically a template app I’m building for philanthropists. The core idea is AI-powered tracking using PyTorch and scikit-learn so I can monitor the effectiveness of any method—really, it could be used by anyone trying to track impact.
My philosophy is to keep most of the backend and AI stuff local—Ollama, ChromaDB, SQLite, that sort of thing—while using a TypeScript-driven frontend like Next.js. I know a lot of people hate Next.js, but it’s one of the few frameworks I actually know well. I structure it so the main site is a basic Next.js app, and then I create folders as submodules, each with its own deployment on a separate Netlify spin-up.
Content gets populated through Ollama, usually with Mistral or OpenAI’s OSS model now. I use Google Forms to push client updates to the backend, then automate it with n8n webhooks. That way, whenever someone submits a new form, it updates the local modules of each Next.js site, automatically pushing content to the frontend. Basically, someone can just snap a picture of their art, write a little summary, submit it, and my system will run it through a prompt with Mistral to “upscale” it for SEO. So “lol luk at wut I mad” becomes a full artist statement written by an expert in art history.
This all started as a hobby to help homeless people. I give them art supplies, buy their work, then help them get the technology and support they need to rebuild their lives. My own story: after I was robbed of everything, I started with just a set of colored pencils. I sold a piece to the lead singer of Black Pumas for $200, bought a Tracfone and Chromebook, and restarted my career in data annotation. That’s how I rebuilt my life, and now I want to help others do the same.
The goal is to use AI for the will of the heart, not just “efficiency.” I love gradient descent and optimization, and honestly, I never had to retake Calculus when I got back into AI because LeKander was the best math teacher I’ve ever had. We went through Calc 4, while everyone else stopped at 2—that probably explains why the AP test was so easy for me. Midlife crisis comparing myself to high school me, ha, what a ride.
Anyway, that’s what I’m working on. Thought you might want to see it.

If you want, I can also make a **shorter, punchier version** that reads like a natural DM without losing the story or the technical parts. It’d be more “scrollable” for a friend. Do you want me to do that?

Hi, I wanted to share a project I’m working on: [art02](https://github.com/kliewerdaniel/art02). It’s a template app designed to help philanthropists track and measure the impact of initiatives using AI, built with PyTorch and scikit-learn.
The architecture is focused on local-first AI and data management using Ollama, ChromaDB, and SQLite, with a TypeScript-driven frontend in Next.js. Each module can be deployed independently on Netlify, and content updates are automated via Google Forms and n8n, allowing clients to submit updates that are automatically enhanced with AI for better presentation and SEO.
The project is inspired by my own experience rebuilding my life through art after losing everything. By giving homeless individuals art supplies, purchasing their work, and providing access to technology, the goal is to help them develop skills, share their work, and create new opportunities.
Ultimately, this project demonstrates how AI can be used to amplify human potential and meaningful impact rather than just efficiency.

If you want, I can also draft an **even snappier version under 150 words** suitable for a LinkedIn or professional DM. Do you want me to do that?

Basically I am trying to revolutionize the art world so that instead of have galleries full of money sinks and failed art history degrees you rather have the art from people really down on their luck and whose purchase of said art would have the most effective distribution of said money. That is why I am using AI to help crunch and calculate the ability of one method or another to be effective. Effective not only in rebuilding a person so they can become more consumptive and increase their standard of living rather than use the excess capital to aid those less fortunate than themself. That is why I want to inspire an art movement of modesty and one which focuses on effective altruism rather than what we have now. This software is meant to gamify philanthropy. You can use the AI to do image detection of a variety of variables to be stored in forms using structured JSON outputs. I know how to do it with serializers in Django and everything, it is just annoying for me. Anyway I guess the point of this message is that I wanted to inspire the light in others at a time that is trying and difficult for everyone in the world at this moment in time. Why should we allow hate and anger to spread over all of the world like a mind virus when the cure is to transform lead into gold using the philosopher's stone. Yes I will use AI to inspire the will of the heart in others and create an art movement which both solves the problem of the world's insane economy as well as the hearts of others as they connect with their common human being. Why am I building this and not just using a repo? Because I can and I think that being the originator of a repo gives you the most control over a project and I am a control freak. I work alone. Anyway. My point is that I think that code can and should be developed not just for money, but also for helping people. Vibe coding offers to give coding ability to everyone to develop their own software like I am doing with this. I am also a developer, not good, but now I am a 10X rather than a -2X.

The architecture is local-first, leveraging Ollama, ChromaDB, and SQLite, with a TypeScript-driven frontend in Next.js. Each module can be deployed independently on Netlify, and content updates are automated via Google Forms and n8n.

Beyond tracking impact, this project aims to inspire meaningful philanthropy and an art movement focused on effective altruism. AI is used to evaluate the effectiveness of methods, helping direct resources where they will make the greatest human impact. I want to demonstrate that technology can amplify compassion and human potential, not just efficiency.
This work is about empowering humanity, fostering creativity, and encouraging acts of generosity in a world that often prioritizes profit over people. I built this from scratch because owning the origin of a project allows full control, and I want to show that code can serve both innovation and social good.
