Evidence

For Week 1 of the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge, I built a lightweight Touch Grass Quest Generator web app! The goal of this project is simple yet essential: to pull us away from endless screen time and encourage us to step outside into nature.

With a single click, the app generates fun micro‑quests like finding unique leaves, taking a phone‑free walk, or listening to the sounds of nature.

While closed‑source AI tools are locked behind heavy server APIs, building open‑first lightweight apps allows everyone to run them locally, customize them, and keep user data completely private.
