I Love Fragrances, So I Built a 6-Game Arcade + Concierge About My Obsession

A personal project from a university student who turned a hobby into a small interactive web experience — fragrance-themed games plus a concierge that recommends scents based on input. The build is genuinely fun as a demo of how far a solo builder can get with current tooling in a short time. As a tool for anyone else, it is niche to the point of being invisible: fragrance is a category with real commerce behind it but no obvious underserved builder audience. The concierge angle is a thin GPT wrapper applied to a vertical that already has Scentbird and a dozen recommendation engines. The value here is the post itself as a build log — if the author extracted the pattern of 'hobby plus arcade plus concierge' into a template, that would be genuinely useful. As shipped, it is a portfolio piece. -> Best for: indie hacker looking at niche-interest community products for inspiration, not adoption
