About the Project

Inspiration

Lumina was inspired by my need to create a smarter, more intuitive way to manage and access digital content. I wanted a platform that combines AI, fast search, and structured content management to make learning and discovery seamless. The idea grew from noticing the challenges of navigating large knowledge bases and realizing AI could make content both searchable and interactive.

What I Learned

  • How to integrate multiple APIs: Storyblok for CMS, Algolia for search, and Gemini for AI.
  • Best practices for building a responsive, modern UI that is both functional and engaging.
  • Challenges of synchronizing content between a headless CMS and a search engine in real time.
  • How AI can enhance content recommendations and improve the user experience.

How I Built It

  • Front-end: React with TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Shadcn components for a clean, modern interface.
  • Back-end: Node.js + Express for API handling and AI integration.
  • CMS: Storyblok for flexible content management.
  • Search: Algolia for instant and intelligent search results.
  • AI: Gemini API to generate content summaries, recommendations, and enhance search relevance.
  • Hosting: Vercel for fast and reliable deployment.

Challenges

  • Integrating AI-generated content dynamically without breaking CMS workflows.
  • Ensuring search relevance and speed when working with large datasets.
  • Designing a UI that communicates AI-powered intelligence without overwhelming users.

Accomplishments I’m Proud Of

  • Built a fully functional, AI-powered content management and search platform on my own.
  • Successfully integrated multiple APIs to create a seamless user experience.
  • Designed a clean, modern UI that makes AI-enhanced content intuitive and accessible.
