⚡️ About The Project

Riddley is an experimental prototype that attempts to recreate the magical experience of Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Using Claude's AI capabilities, it creates an interactive diary that responds to your writings, much like how Tom Riddle's diary responded to Harry.

⚠️ Prototype Status: This is currently a half-baked prototype that needs more magical enhancement. It's a proof of concept waiting for fellow Potterheads with coding skills to transform it into something truly magical!

🪄 Current Features

• Interactive journaling where the diary responds to your writings
• iPad-optimized interface for that authentic book-writing feel
• AI-powered responses using Claude (our attempt at magical intelligence!)
• Basic conversation capabilities

🧙‍♂️ What Could Be Added

• Handwriting recognition for a more authentic experience
• Ink-appearing animation effects like in the movies
• Voice interactions
• AR features to make the diary appear more magical
• Memory viewing capabilities (similar to how the diary showed Harry the memories)
• Dark mode for those late-night writing sessions in the Gryffindor common room
