Waypoints.pro: The Travel Website

Initially, I created Waypoints.pro, a travel website, driven by a long-held vision I had for many years. The manual management of travel-related tasks was time-consuming and inefficient, and I wanted a solution that would streamline the process. Waypoints.pro was born out of this necessity, and it has since transformed the way I handle travel planning.

By automating various aspects of travel arrangements, Waypoints.pro has not only saved me considerable time but also reduced my expenses significantly. The platform's ability to consolidate and simplify travel tasks has been invaluable. It is a testament to how innovative solutions can address everyday challenges effectively. Through Waypoints.pro, I have been able to turn a longstanding idea into a practical tool that offers real benefits, enhancing the overall travel experience.

Infrastructure Development with Terraform

Creating a complete project from scratch required substantial effort and expertise. I meticulously wrote comprehensive Terraform code to establish my Kubernetes infrastructure and set up a botnet, which was pivotal for Waypoints to efficiently scrape flight data.

Kubernetes, an open-source platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, allowed me to streamline and manage the infrastructure seamlessly. By leveraging Kubernetes, I ensured high availability, scalability, and resilience for the Waypoints application.

Terraform, an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool, played a crucial role in this project. It enabled the definition and provisioning of the entire infrastructure in a declarative configuration file. One of the significant advantages of using Terraform is its ability to be reused across multiple environments and projects. When done right, Terraform configurations can be modularized and version-controlled, making them highly maintainable and repeatable. This approach not only ensures consistency across deployments but also accelerates the provisioning process for future projects.

The website and the supporting infrastructure represent some of my best work, synthesizing years of experience and learnings from previous projects. For the first time, I was able to implement a solution that balanced efficiency with strategic optimizations, all while maintaining a focus on reliability and functionality. This blend of methodologies resulted in a system that not only performs exceptionally well but also stands as a testament to the importance of doing things "the right way."

Introducing Q: The Automated Startup Generator

After completing the extensive coding required for the project, I realized the potential value in reusing the developed infrastructure. This led to the conception of Q. The concept behind Q, while straightforward in theory, embodies a significant level of complexity in its execution.

The primary objective of Q is to leverage the existing Waypoints codebase by making it adaptable for various applications. To achieve this, I implemented a system that identifies any instance of a specific identifier, such as the string 'waypoints,' within the code. These instances are then replaced with a token that serves as a placeholder for future replacements.

This tokenization process allows for dynamic customization of the codebase, enabling it to be easily modified and repurposed for different projects without the need for extensive rewrites. By abstracting key elements of the code into replaceable tokens, Q facilitates a highly flexible and reusable infrastructure that can be tailored to meet the unique requirements of various applications.

In essence, Q represents a sophisticated approach to code reuse and modularity, transforming a single-purpose codebase into a versatile foundation for multiple projects. This not only maximizes the utility of the original development effort but also streamlines the process of adapting and deploying new solutions efficiently.

Functions and Arrays: The No-Code Framework

Subsequently, I launched runitbyq.com, a platform designed to solicit startup ideas from users. The platform evaluates the viability of these ideas by assessing the responses and assigning a 'Q score.' This scoring system ensures that the submitted idea is robust enough to justify the development of a full-fledged application. If the user successfully navigates through the entire process, their answers are integrated into my tokenized codebase, replacing placeholders with their specific information.

This approach would be limited if it only worked for a single type of application, such as Waypoints, a travel site. To overcome this limitation, I developed "Functions and Arrays," a 'no-code' framework that I had envisioned for a long time. Technically, it is the smallest framework in history, capable of building applications in any language. Functions and Arrays are designed to take any file or set of files, execute prompts against them, and rewrite the code as necessary.

To demonstrate the versatility of this framework, I created a mapping for Waypoints by abstracting it further. The process on runitbyQ involves a simple string replacement followed by passing all the files through Functions and Arrays. This system then customizes the application based on the user's specific inputs. It achieves this by first defining the database structure, which then informs the frontend generation. For instance, if there is a product in the database, a search and display function is automatically generated for it. Similarly, if the application requires e-commerce capabilities, my existing payment transaction code is reused and tailored to fit the new context.

This innovative approach not only ensures the adaptability and reusability of the original codebase but also streamlines the process of creating custom applications based on user-generated ideas. By combining the power of Functions and Arrays with the evaluative capabilities of runitbyQ, I have created a highly efficient system for rapid application development.

RunitbyQ.com: Instant Startup Platform

I subsequently extended RunitbyQ's capabilities by utilizing its codebase for another "template." A template in this context is essentially a functional and existing codebase that can be tokenized. Following this, I developed ten templates designed to cover the majority of use cases. Should any new requirements arise, I plan to integrate them into the Q system as well.

The overarching idea behind RunitbyQ is to enable users to instantly launch a startup. This includes not only providing the necessary code but also addressing all other essential aspects, such as advertising and marketing. By doing so, RunitbyQ ensures a comprehensive and efficient startup initiation process, allowing users to focus on their business ideas while the platform handles the technical and promotional components.

Video Pipeline for Commercials

The next significant challenge was creating videos for commercials based on the data collected by Q. To address this, I developed a comprehensive video pipeline incorporating several advanced technologies: ChatGPT 4.0 for scripting, Azure Vision for image processing, Stable Diffusion for visual effects, Suno.com AI for music generation, and Luma AI for video production. Notably, Luma AI does not offer a public API, so I reverse-engineered their website to create a custom API for my use.

Effective commercials are essential for any startup to successfully market their products and services. Typically, a full-service digital agency might be able to handle the entire process, from app development to commercial creation and social media posting. However, such services can be prohibitively expensive, often costing a significant amount of money.

In contrast, RunitbyQ offers this comprehensive suite of services for free. From a brief conversation of ten minutes or less on RunitbyQ, users can have a fully deployed application with infrastructure on their preferred platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Additionally, TV commercials can be autogenerated and posted on social media platforms, promoting the product seamlessly. This end-to-end solution significantly accelerates the startup process, offering both technical and marketing support without the high costs associated with traditional digital agencies.

Testing with Startup Ideas

We weren't done yet. To thoroughly test the capabilities of RunitbyQ, I devised ten startup business ideas, some of which I had been contemplating for a while:

And to further teach myself my pipeline I decided to do a movie The First Wall - I'll be creating a toutorial upon completion.

CyberdyneRobotic.systems and BattleBots

While purchasing domains, I discovered that cyberdynerobotic.systems was available, so I immediately acquired it. The exciting part is that I've always had a passion for BattleBots, given my background as an electrical engineer with experience in building robots. I had planned to pursue this hobby upon retirement.

Now that I'm retired, I'm diving into this passion project. Having watched BattleBots for decades, I am well-versed in the competition and understand that the most formidable and complex bot to build is a walker, particularly a spider-like design.

Cyberdyne Robotic Systems will serve as the headquarters for this initiative and will also host any public APIs I develop, available either for a fee or for free, but requiring an account for access.

My goal is to win BattleBots, and I am confident in achieving this. Afterward, I plan to reinvest any profits from my various projects—including the ten startups, Q, and Waypoints—into mass-producing the winning bot. Given my financial resources, I'm optimistic about finding cost-effective methods for production. Additionally, the music I produce will support this effort. If the robots don't succeed as planned, I have a strategy for social media and population influence, which I call "micro-targeting." This involves using user metadata to auto-generate personalized videos aimed at influencing buying decisions or voting behavior.

The bot will also be designed to combat "older tanks" post-BattleBots. While BattleBots rules prohibit spilling gasoline, this feature will be integrated as an optional attachment later on.

Despite these ambitions, I still hope to visit certain countries someday without facing legal repercussions, so I will keep specific details vague.
