Weekend Build-in-Public: Scanning Invoices with Google Vision + Supabase (Debugging Live!)

YouTube Description
I spent this weekend hacking together an MVP “Invoice Management System” that lets any small-business owner snap a pic of a supplier bill and see it instantly parsed—no typing, no accounting jargon, just pay-what-you-owe clarity.

In this session I walk you through:
0:00 Intro & goal—keyboard-free bill pay for cafés, shops, creatives
0:46 Quick UI tour: “Scan New Bill”, “Open/Paid Invoices”, mobile-first design
2:08 Integrating Google Vision OCR + Supabase edge functions
4:29 🌶️ The pain point—OCR timing-out at ~30-sec → 2-min → still spinning
7:03 Live debugging with Bolt AI (latency probes, async batch ideas)
11:35 Next steps: testing Vision’s async endpoint, exploring Document AI, shrinking images, pinning regions
12:55 Reflections on Shopify Editions & no-code tooling for founders

I’m documenting the whole journey—wins, bugs, coffeeshop kick-outs—on unframed. If you’re into building scrappy tools that actually help real-world businesses, hit subscribe, drop your OCR war stories, or tell me what feature you’d ship next.

Tech stack: React / Next.js front end, Supabase Postgres + edge functions, Google Vision API, Bolt AI copilot.
