Context
Parents want a keepsake, not another app. Little Legend turns a few family details and memories into a personalised, illustrated storybook: preview today, PDF tonight, hardcover for years.
What I built
- The full product flow: memory capture, story structure, generation hand-off and a polished storefront on Next.js.
- Commerce and order logic in Medusa, so books, previews and hardcovers are real products with real checkout.
- An AI story-and-image generation pipeline with structured prompts and review steps; end-to-end story generation runs in about 30 seconds.
Architecture
Next.js owns presentation and the personalisation wizard. Medusa owns catalogue, cart and orders. The generation pipeline is a separate, queue-driven step so a slow model never blocks checkout, and every generated asset is reviewed and stored before it is shown to a family.
Outcome
An independent product, live at littlelegend.online, built and shipped solo. It is the reference for how I approach AI features: as product plumbing with limits and review, not as a demo.
