Bolt Hackathon Day 8/30: Week 1 Post Mortem & Week 2 Plans

Project Idea

I am building an AI Pathfinder World Builder / Campaign Manager
The goal is to have all of the features for building worlds to run campaigns in with features like:

Map Creator
Lore / History Editor (Including Item Creation)
NPC Creator w/ Agentic Capabilities
Pathfinder MCP tool
Pathfinder Rules Integration
AI GM based on the MCP tools and Rules Integration to Run Campaigns
ElevenLabs integration with the GM / NPCs
One more surprise feature base on Agentic Capabilities

Why UI/UX First

I prefer UI/UX first design. That doesn't mean I don't plan out architecture for the backend services, but I prefer UI/UX first design because it helps shape what the backend services should even be. I look at a problem and think about what pain points various features would have, design and test them, and then figure out how to reduce or eliminate those pain points. Sometimes this means fundamental changes in the platform. That is why I feel like ironing out the UI/UX and seeing what backend services that would entail is optimal at least for me.

Initial Naming

Was going to be StoryForge; I misspelled the Domain Name on registration.
