Take 2 - Working on local-ai-search project
Summary
On this Wednesday AI stream, I kicked off the local-ai-search project — a local image search app powered by Reka Edge, a vision model running on my home server. Before writing any code, I used my new grill-me skill in OpenCode to stress-test my architecture decisions (Avalonia over Uno, Turso for DB, single folder, no thumbnails), then let the PRD-to-issues skill generate all the GitHub issues automatically. We wrapped up by validating the full pipeline with a quick .NET demo — sending images to the local Reka model and getting descriptions back, including one that called me “elderly” (it was the lighting!). 📺 - Twitch archive - stream no. 404

Starting a new project with Vision AI, what could it be? (stream 403)
Stream Notes — 2d6-dungeon-app
This week’s stream was a bit of a wild ride. We had some technical gremlins with the chatbot (Ceebee decided today was a good day to take a vacation), but we still managed to make progress on the 2D6 Dungeon app, fixing encounter and room data issues and even filing a new issue for creature page filtering. We also got a super cool demo from RPG Frequency showcasing RPG Audio Strength, a tool that lets dungeon masters stream high-quality audio directly to their players without breaking Discord, which I honestly loved. Next week we are diving into a brand new Vision AI project, so stay tuned because I am excited about this one!

Starting a new project with Vision AI, what could it be? (stream 402)
Summary
Today we brainstorm a brand new project: Local AI Search, an app to tag and describe your images and videos using AI vision models, running locally on your machine! We had a few technical hiccups at the start (Ceebee’s new admin panel was NOT cooperating), but we got there. I also shared a bit about the new edge model we just released at Reka, fast, small, open source, and very cool. We settled on .NET with Uno Platform for the tech stack (yes, Stony, .NET again), and we’ll use the Reka API while building so I don’t melt my streaming computer. See you Friday!

More tables, more data for 2D6 Dungeon App (stream 401)
Summary
I start the stream by fixing some camera tentative improvement that didn’t work. Then I share a cool project that I’ve been totally vibe-coding called 2D6 Dungeon Saver. It’s a text base Screen saver that just show an explorer exploring a dungeon. Then we continue to improve our 2d6 dungeon app, adding the encounter, investigating where it was injected from the database.And the stream was abruptly interrupt by a technician coming to my home to check the wifi. But it was a good stream.

Trying the new Reka Edge model, on a way too small PC (stream 399)
Summary
Hey everyone, thanks for joining another episode of “Frank vs. Technology”! Today we sweated through cables, battled screen savers, and tried to run the brand new Reka Edge AI model on a tiny PC that couldn’t handle it. We learned about tokens, played with project names, and as always, had some laughs and a few technical hiccups—remember, if your code works on the first try, you probably forgot to hit save! Stream ends when I try to run the model on the same computer already taxed by being the streaming sever… lesson learned.
