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.
