When you need some inspiration...
Ever since an ex-colleague took a picture of me and ran it through a filter, I used it in countless memes. I look good in it, ain’t I?
The issue though is each time I want a new meme, I had to open up and image editor, add the text and save it as a new file. Come on, we are in AI age, this should not be that complicated! There should be an easier way to create these memes. If only I could build an app for that…
Wait, aren’t we in AI age?! When I had a spare few hours, I fired up VSCode with Copilot in it and built the app! Well, technically Copilot did all the work, I haven’t wrote as single line of code! But I did write A LOT of prompts!
It took a while to find where to deploy the app. Everyone I asked told me to use free Heroku hosting. The only problem is none of them knew that Heroku doesn’t provide free hosting anymore. After doing fair bit of Googling I decided on Vercel, but had to rewrite some code to work with it.
The result: https://scarify.vercel.app, you are welcome.
PS: Oh, the WhatsApp button doesn’t work, I’ll fix it later (like next century probably)
