Overview
Where's My App? is a concept for tracking physical storage in your home — racks, containers, and items. Scan QR labels, see an interactive rack grid, check items in/out with photos, and maintain movement history.
Honest assessment: This is an incomplete personal project. I came up with the concept and the feature requirements, but AI wrote most of the code. I haven't finished it.
The Idea
- Visual rack maps showing container positions
- QR code system for scanning and deep-linking to items
- Item management with photos, tags, and quantities
- Movement history as an audit trail
- PWA for mobile use
Tech Stack
- Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript
- PostgreSQL + Prisma ORM
- Auth.js (NextAuth v5)
- Zod + React Hook Form
Status
This is a work-in-progress concept project. The core data models exist but the app isn't feature-complete or in daily use. I'm keeping it here because I think the concept is good and I plan to come back to it.
What I Learned
- Thinking through data models for spatial storage (locations, racks, slots, containers, items)
- QR code generation and scanning workflows
- The gap between having a good idea and shipping a finished product
