- Builder: app, data model, crawler
- Stack
- React 19 · TypeScript · Python pipeline · 100+ species model
A bonsai species encyclopedia: care profiles, technique guides, and galleries organized by development stage, season, and style, over a typed 100-plus-species data model with programmatic SEO.
Paired with its own supply chain: a rule-based Python crawler, rate-limited, robots-aware, quality-filtered, that collects and categorizes the content the app serves. The product and its content ops, built as one system.
What it proves
- Owning the full content lifecycle: acquisition pipeline → typed model → shipped UX
- Respectful automation: rate limits, robots.txt, relevance scoring
- Product breadth outside fintech
