Survivor.wiki: Survive & Thrive in the Wasteland

Inspiration

Survivor.wiki was born from our team's shared passion for survival preparedness and community resilience. In a world where traditional systems might fail, we wanted to create a tool that would empower users to grow their own food, create medicinal remedies, and establish a barter economy. The project draws inspiration from real-world survival gardening techniques and the growing movement of self-sufficiency, while adding a unique post-apocalyptic theme that makes learning these skills engaging and fun.

Learning Journey

As a team, we've grown together through several key areas: Full-Stack Development: Mastered Next.js 14 with App Router, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS Database Architecture: Designed and implemented a comprehensive Supabase schema for plants, inventory, medicines, and barter system Community Features: Created systems for user contributions, karma tracking, and real-time bartering AI Integration: Successfully integrated Gemini API for intelligent survival suggestions Animation: Implemented engaging UI animations using Framer Motion Authentication: Built secure user authentication and session management with Supabase
