The build, written in Python with Flask, Gunicorn, and Docker, exposes a public comics catalog API and a Zorgax-oriented question endpoint, while exploring Ollama and Qdrant for semantic search. The project explicitly marks one comic entry as an NFT candidate but keeps its rights status as TO_VERIFY, with no on-chain minting claimed.", "body_md": "Today I’m sharing the first public MVP of **MyZubster**, an experimental open project that brings together environmental data, artificial intelligence, decentralized technologies and digital creativity.\n\nAfter developing and testing the first APIs, the project now has a **public deployment running on Render**.\n\n🌐 **Live project:** [https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/](https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/)\n\n💻 **Source code:** [https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster-mvp](https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster-mvp)\n\nMyZubster explores the idea of a decentralized green ecosystem where technology can help connect real-world environmental observations with AI and new digital tools.\n\nThe project currently experiments with:\n\nThis is an MVP: some components are already operational, while others remain experiments or require further verification.\n\nOne experiment inside MyZubster is **Nicola Comics**.\n\nThe MVP exposes a small comic catalog through a public API.\n\nYou can see it here:\n\n[https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics](https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics)\n\nThe catalog currently contains three entries.\n\nOne of them, `n4k48-comic-001`, is marked as:\n\n`NFT_CANDIDATE`\n\nThis deliberately does **not** mean that an NFT has already been minted.\n\nThe project currently keeps its rights status as `TO_VERIFY`, while `contract_address`, `token_id` and `transaction_hash` remain empty until verifiable evidence exists.\n\nThis is an important design principle for the project:\n\n**a proposal for tokenization is not the same thing as an on-chain asset.**\n\nThe MVP also includes a public Zorgax-oriented endpoint:\n\n`POST /api/zorgax/ask`\n\nFor example, the catalog can process a request such as:\n\n```\n{\n  \"question\": \"Show me the Nicola Comics\",\n  \"action\": \"gallery\"\n}\n```\n\nThe endpoint has been successfully tested on the public deployment and returns the Nicola Comics catalog with absolute links to the individual entries.\n\nAt this stage, this verifies the **public catalog adapter running inside the MyZubster MVP**.\n\nIntegration with a separate or upstream Zorgax service should be considered a different integration step and is not being claimed by this MVP test.\n\nThe public MVP currently uses:\n\n**Python + Flask** for the API\n\n**Gunicorn** as the application server\n\n**Docker** for containerization\n\n**Render** for the public deployment\n\n**GitHub** for source code and documentation\n\nThe broader development environment also explores **Ollama** and **Qdrant** for AI and semantic-search functionality.\n\n🌐 **Live website**\n\n[https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/](https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/)\n\n🎨 **Nicola Comics API**\n\n[https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics](https://myzubster-mvp.onrender.com/api/comics)\n\n💻 **MyZubster MVP source code**\n\n[https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster-mvp](https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster-mvp)\n\n🧭 **Main MyZubster repository**\n\n[https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster](https://github.com/nicolaususnicola-lgtm/myzubster)\n\nThe next steps are to improve the public interface, develop the environmental-data components, connect Nicola Comics more deeply with the ecosystem, verify provenance and rights before any NFT-related operation, and continue experimenting with the AI architecture.\n\nMyZubster is still an early public build.\n\nThat is exactly why I’m publishing it now: to build in public, test the architecture, document what works and clearly distinguish experiments from verified functionality.\n\nFeedback, testing, ideas and collaboration are welcome.\n\n**Build first. Verify everything. Then decentralize what actually makes sense.**", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/n4k48/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem-4o5m", "published_at": "2026-09-15 16:02:19+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-15 16:20:31.416052+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["MyZubster", "Render", "Flask", "Gunicorn", "Docker", "GitHub", "Ollama", "Qdrant"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/myzubster-mvp-from-an-idea-to-a-live-decentralized-green-ecosystem.jsonld"}}
