0
·1 views

OutsideQuest is an application designed to help users replace scrolling with short outdoor adventures. Users specify available time and interests, and the app generates structured outdoor missions with safety guidelines. The project was submitted for Hacktoberfest's Open-Source AI Challenge and is built with Python and Streamlit. It uses the open-weight Qwen2.5 3B model via Ollama for local mission generation, with fallback options for reliability. A public demo is deployed on Render, requiring no API keys or local setup for basic functionality.

Open-source app TouchGrass uses AI to generate personalized outdoor activity quests

A developer has created TouchGrass, an open-source web application that generates personalized outdoor activity suggestions. The tool asks users for their available time, preferred activity type, difficulty level, and whether they're alone or with friends before providing step-by-step quests. Built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Python, the application can use the Qwen2.5 AI model locally via Ollama or fallback to pre-built quests. The project aims to help people reduce screen time and make outdoor activities more accessible. The code is publicly available under the MIT License for others to use, modify, and contribute improvements.
