The idea
Inspiration is scattered across a dozen apps. A video here, an article there, a book you meant to read, a song that stuck with you. Mooze is one vault for all of it: save anything that moves you, from any platform, and keep it somewhere that's actually yours.
What I explored
- Save anything, from anywhere. Videos, articles, books, films, music. Each becomes an "item" you can find later, instead of a tab you lose.
- Make sense of it. A reading view for what you've saved, and an AI pass that can distill a note or entry down to what actually matters.
- Built for keeping. Accounts and sessions, a real database, file uploads, and a command palette to move quickly. It's designed to hold years of collecting, not a weekend's.
- Multilingual from the start. Routing is locale-aware, so the whole app can speak more than one language.
How it's built
Next.js with next-auth for accounts, Drizzle ORM over a Neon Postgres database, and Vercel Blob for uploads. The Anthropic API powers the distillation; the data model stays simple and honest: users, sessions, items, journal entries.
The interesting part wasn't any single feature. It was taking the messy habit of saving things everywhere and giving it the structure, auth, schema, and i18n that a thing you actually rely on needs.
