CardAura

Cardaura is a Telegram Mini App for tarot and MAC card readings that I developed together with my spouse using AI technologies. The idea was to create an accessible application that combines traditional card reading with modern AI technology, all within the familiar Telegram environment.

This project was developed with the assistance of AI tools and technologies, including Gemini 3 Pro and other AI services, which were integral to both the development process and the application's core functionality.

The application is currently live and functional, with ongoing development focused on improving the interface and user experience based on real user feedback.

This project provided valuable experience in developing Telegram Mini Apps with the assistance of AI technologies. The development process itself leveraged AI tools, making this a unique experience in AI-assisted development:

• Next.js development — building a full-stack application with Next.js, leveraging Server Components and Server Actions for optimal performance
• AI integration — integrating Gemini 3 Pro API and other AI tools to provide intelligent, contextual card interpretations
• Telegram Mini App API — working with Telegram WebApp API for platform integration, handling user authentication, and optimizing for mobile experience
• Parallel design and development — managing simultaneous design and code implementation, allowing for rapid iteration and real-time adjustments
• Continuous improvement — implementing an iterative development process with ongoing UX enhancements based on user feedback

Technologies and tools used in this project:

• Next.js 15+ — App Router, Server Components, Server Actions
• TypeScript — type-safe development
• Gemini 3 Pro API — AI-powered card interpretations
• Other AI tools — various AI services for enhanced functionality
• Telegram WebApp API — platform integration and user experience optimization
• Tailwind CSS — responsive, mobile-first design
