    GA pilot and airplane owner (and, duh, techie). Got tired of managing large PDFs full of scans of paper logbooks (mandatory to keep paper as per FAA). Ended up building a small SW platform to digitize through AI text and handwriting recognition, and manage past and future maintenance and regulatory requirements. There's a bunch of these out there, all the same AI generated but not free. Cost me less than a month of paid service to built this, figured it's worth open-sourcing... Stack: Next.js 15 + Supabase (RLS is the entire authz model — one security-definer choke point), Firebase App Hosting, all image processing client-side so hosting is ~free; bring-your-own Anthropic key is the only cost. Fun bugs along the way: INSERT…RETURNING tripping a self-referential RLS policy, and OpenCV.js pinned to a CDN version that never existed. MIT licensed — contributions welcome.
