This weekend, I turned that idea into something much more personal.
I built a small flashcard quiz app as a fun game for my daughter’s upcoming birthday.The goal: learning + play + curiosity — all in one simple app.
What started as a “let’s try something fun” quickly became a fully working product:
🃏 Interactive flashcard game
🔄 Smooth card flip animations
📚 10 topics with Easy / Medium / Hard levels
🎯 One-word answers for quick learning
🎨 Clean, mobile-friendly UI
🚀 Deployed live on Vercel
Fun dev moment:
I initially integrated an OpenAI API call to generate questions dynamically…
and then quickly removed it to save costs 😅
Turns out, a well-structured local quiz bank works perfectly for a birthday game.
Tech stack used:
- Next.js (App Router)
- React + TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Simple in-memory quiz bank (JSON)
- Vercel for deployment
Big reflection:
With today’s tools (and AI-assisted coding), it’s possible to go from an idea → UI → logic → deployment incredibly fast.
But more importantly, it reminded me that building small, joyful projects can be just as meaningful as building “serious” ones — especially when they’re for family.

Do give me your feedback. Looking forward to it.
