KiroMotivate: Spooky AI-Powered Motivation & Idea Name Generator

This Halloween, I built KiroMotivate, a minimal web template demonstrating how to use Kiro’s AI vibe-coding to generate short textual outputs in real-time.

Inspiration

I wanted to explore AI-assisted creativity while adding a Halloween twist. The goal was to create a small, flexible foundation that can be reused for other short-text generators or AI-driven web projects.

Features

  • Daily Motivation Generator: Get a short, uplifting sentence at the click of a button.
  • Idea Name Generator: Enter a description or leave it blank to conjure a random spooky idea name.
  • Fully Halloween-themed UI: dark backgrounds, glowing text, flickering animations, and ghostly floating effects.

How I built it

I used Kiro vibe-coding to:

  • Generate dynamic textual outputs for each feature.
  • Structure JavaScript code that handles input, randomization, and animations.
  • Quickly iterate and polish both functionality and design.

Challenges

  • Adding a Halloween theme while keeping animations smooth and responsive.
  • Ensuring emoji characters display correctly across browsers.
  • Designing the random name generator to feel fun and magical without overcomplicating UX.

What I learned

Kiro made it easy to create reusable AI-driven components. Vibe-coding helped generate structured JS and handle randomization logic efficiently, freeing me to focus on UI/UX polish.

Balancing AI logic, UX polish, and theme-specific animations is key for making playful projects feel professional.
