This is very interesting. Question: could you have 1bn different datapoints you pull from a DB I.e. DynamoDB instead of boxes?

Yes, absolutely! The concept behind the project could be extended to pull 1 billion different data points from a database like DynamoDB, instead of using static checkboxes.

One of the main reasons I used checkboxes was to keep it simple and lightweight for this initial experiment. However, pulling dynamic data points from a DB like DynamoDB would offer much more flexibility and scalability.
