The best way to predict the future is to invent it

VegaHed

Project Overview

VegaHed is a full-stack web application inspired by the One Piece character Vegapunk, who consumed a fruit that allows him to remember everything he has ever read. However, the more knowledge he acquires, the larger his head becomes. With his intelligence, he invented Punk Record — a system that stores his knowledge on a server and links with his brain, allowing him to keep learning without worrying about the physical limits of his head.

VegaHed acts as a personal “Punk Record.” Users paste links to YouTube videos, TikToks, articles, or any webpage, and the system automatically categorises the content using AI — making it easy to review without searching across multiple platforms.
