I built Borked, a contact form that turns normal inputs into ridiculous mini-games. Typing your details shouldn’t feel like a boss fight, but here we are.
The hardest part was getting all the little interactions to work smoothly, especially the physics and game mechanics inside simple form fields. A lot of trial, breaking things, and fixing them again.
I’m pretty proud of how chaotic but playable it ended up. It’s frustrating in the exact way it’s supposed to be.
App is live, but it needed a home. Just published the landing page for Eco Lens.
Our pilot test in local schools has been insane so far: 200 users have already scanned over 10,000 images. Seeing a 40% drop in bin contamination in real-time is the best motivation I could ask for. Now I’m just focusing on scaling this thing to more communities.

Shipped the guided piano feature after 6 hours of integration work.
Technical implementation:
Built a custom indexing script to make lookups fast — went from 3s search time to <100ms.
Piano playback engine uses Tone.js with Web Audio API. Each key press triggers a sampled piano sound, synced to visual highlighting. The hardest part was keeping audio/visual in sync on slower devices — solved with requestAnimationFrame + buffering.
Recording system stores performances as note arrays in Firebase (~2-5KB per card). User hits ‘send’ → data goes to Firestore → recipient gets shareable link with embedded player.
Also hit 500K page views this week. Real-time stats visible on site (Firebase Analytics + Google Analytics 4).
Still 100% free. No paywalls on core features.
Next: Building wish constellation system with Three.js + Firebase Realtime Database for live updates.

Quick 2-hour session adding the bouquet maker and fixing performance issues.
What shipped:
Bouquet builder using custom flower images — users pick flowers, background, arrangement style. Each element is a layered inage that composites in real-time. Exports final bouquet as a greeting card. You can also add custom clugs and music and message as well.
Fixed mobile bugs:
Set up Cloudflare for CDN + edge caching. Static assets now cached at edge nodes globally — reduced TTFB from 800ms to 120ms for international users.
Load time improvements: ~40% faster on 3G connections after enabling Brotli compression + lazy loading images.

Huge milestone today: Eco Lens is officially on the Play Store! 🚀
Spent the last few weeks cleaning up the UI and fixing some annoying bugs. I also refined the 3-bin logic (Green/Red/Yellow) to make the instructions as simple as possible. It’s a bit scary to have it out there, but I’m ready for people to start breaking things.

Long testing session — 9 hours debugging edge cases and setting up search infrastructure.
Google Search Console setup:
Submitted sitemap.xml
Set up property verification via DNS TXT record
Configured Core Web Vitals monitoring (currently: LCP 1.2s, FID 8ms, CLS 0.02 — all green)
Indexed 47 pages so far, 12 in progress
Analytics infrastructure:
Integrated Google Analytics 4 with custom events (card_created, card_sent, category_selected)
Set up Firebase Analytics for real-time user tracking
Added performance monitoring (Firebase Performance SDK)
Early SEO results: 890 impressions, 450 clicks in first week (mostly branded queries).
Still iterating, but site’s now discoverable.

Initial build took ~13 hours over a weekend. Wanted a free greeting card site, so I made one.
Tech stack:
Frontend: React 18 + Vite (fast dev server, HMR in <50ms)
Styling: Tailwind CSS 4 with custom design system
Animations: Framer Motion for page transitions, GSAP for complex card animations
Routing: React Router v7 with lazy loading for code splitting
Backend/Services:
Firebase:
Hosting: Netlify with automatic deployments from GitHub
Card rendering:
Built a template system with 30+ categories (birthdays, holidays, etc.)
Each card is a React component with customizable text, colors, images
Export system: generates shareable link
Core philosophy:
No ads, no tracking (beyond basic analytics), no login required to send cards
Receiver gets clean card with zero interruptions
All features free forever
Early version, but functional. Time to ship and iterate.

Started building Eco Lens because I’m tired of seeing everyone “wish-cycling” at school.
The Stack:
Frontend: React Native + Expo (making the camera view feel fast).
Backend: Firebase for the data + Cloudinary for the image optimization.
The core scanner is live, but the UI is still super rough. Next up: building out the impact tracker so people can actually see the CO2 they’re saving.
