Could you build this?
Partial The browser UI and local storage are easy to vibe-code, but the taste scoring requires a database of roasters and brew profiles plus a model of user preferences. The bag-scanning recipe feature needs OCR and curated data.
What it would actually take: Build a browser or web app with a local preference model and a curated database of cafés, roasters, and coffee attributes. The bag-scan feature needs OCR (such as a vision model) and recipe generation tied to grinder profiles. The hard part is sourcing accurate coffee data and designing a credible scoring model, which requires domain curation.
