I joined the Kiroween hackathon with one goal: build something fun.
A few late-night ideas later, I ended up creating a Halloween-themed, API-powered landing page — entirely by myself, inside Kiro IDE.
👻 What I made
Spooky Landing Page with MCP Integration — an animated, glowing UI that pulls real-time spooky quotes via MCP.
It reacts, flickers, whispers Halloween mood into the screen.
Features:
- 🔮 MCP + ZenQuotes API connection
- 💀 Animated UI states (ghost / moon / crystal ball)
- 🎨 DiceBear avatar generation
- ⚡ Smooth transitions + spooky sound cues
Short project — big vibes.
🧰 Built in Kiro IDE
I didn’t code this traditionally — I built it through conversation.
Using Kiro IDE, I generated components, refined effects, and integrated MCP endpoints quickly.
It felt less like typing code, more like designing an idea in real time.
🏁 Why this mattered to me
I learned how fast a solo developer can move when the tooling flows with creativity.
Kiro IDE helped me think, build, and refine — not just code.
Small project, but it left a big smile.👻🔥
