Inspiration
In a world overflowing with AI tools, most users—especially solo builders and students—struggle to find trustworthy, privacy-respecting solutions. OneStackAI was created to simplify ethical AI discovery, bypass noisy platforms, and empower users to explore agentic tools safely. The goal: build a stealthy, mobile-first experience that respects autonomy and scales organically.
What it does
OneStackAI is a privacy-first platform that curates ethical AI tools across domains. Users can onboard via QR codes, explore categorized recommendations, and access resources without trackers or centralized gatekeepers. It’s optimized for mobile , tablet & laptop, solo-friendly, and designed for stealth growth via Telegram, Discord, and offline drops.
How we built it
- Backend: Flask + SQLAlchemy for secure, scalable architecture
- Frontend: Bootstrap + custom UI for responsive design
- Mobile: Android workflows with signed APKs and QR onboarding
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions for automated builds and secrets management
- Distribution: Telegram, Discord, and QR-powered stealth campaigns
- Privacy: No analytics, no trackers — just clean, ethical logic
Challenges we ran into
- Navigating app store restrictions and compliance bottlenecks
- Balancing stealth growth with discoverability
- Debugging AndroidManifest quirks across multiple stores
- Curating tools without relying on centralized APIs
- Maintaining founder-grade polish while solo-building
