Is GitHub too much of a headache for simple projects? 💻 In this clip, we discuss our philosophy of "No-Backend" development. We host our code directly on our website as standalone JavaScript—meaning you can find the source code right in your browser console. We also dive into the technical side of face-api.js, comparing different repositories, exploring facial landmark features (like age and expression detection), and the logistics of loading AI models locally. 🔗 Watch the FULL video for the complete live coding session: https://youtu.be/Hpm6NN6MBvg 🌐 Test the tools and view the source code here: Visit: https://bionichaos.com In this clip: 0:00 - Finding the right face-api.js repository 0:45 - Why we don't use GitHub for our projects 1:20 - Running 1,000+ lines of JS with no backend 2:20 - "If you have a backend, you're probably doing it wrong." 3:10 - Comparing face-api.js vs face-recognition.js 4:20 - The potential for age-slider educational apps 5:30 - Expression recognition (Surprised, Disgusted, Happy, etc.) 6:00 - The challenge of fetching AI models locally We build these health-tech and AI prototypes live right here on YouTube.
