Ikigai Skill Generator MVP - 05/02/2026 05:41 EST

I’m planning a lightweight proof-of-concept for “Comeup,” a tool that helps people pinpoint the skills they should develop by applying the ikigai framework. For this first milestone I only need a functional prototype, not a polished app.

Scope
• A simple web interface (desktop-friendly) where a user enters their passions, strengths, market needs, and core values.
• An underlying algorithm or ruleset that cross-references those inputs with an open skills taxonomy and returns a short, ranked list of recommended skills.
• Clear, well-commented code and a brief README so I can extend the project later.

Tech
Any modern stack is fine—feel free to propose JavaScript (React or vanilla), Python (Flask/FastAPI), or another lightweight option you prefer. Clean architecture and easy deployment (e.g., Docker or one-click Heroku) are more important than the specific language.

Deliverables
1. Source code in a public or private repo.
2. Readable documentation explaining the recommendation logic and how to run the prototype locally.
3. A short video or screenshots that demonstrate the workflow end-to-end.

Please outline:
• Your proposed tech stack.
• Estimated timeline to reach this MVP stage.
• Any relevant experience building recommendation engines, career-guidance tools, or using psychological frameworks like ikigai.

I value clear communication and concise, maintainable code—if that’s your style, I’d love to work with you.
