Background
In November 2025, my partner and I wanted to celebrate an anti‑baby‑shower—a satirical party to honor the fact that we’re intentionally childfree. The challenge was figuring out how to invite people to something like that.
What I built
- Personalized invitations (your name, your face)
- RSVP system with live guest count
- Flip‑clock countdown
- Canvas animation of burning sperm cells (877 lines of JavaScript)
- Bilingual support (German/English)
The project took 5 days, generated 383 tracked interactions, and Claude wrote 90 % of the animation.
