This is a submission for the DEV April Fools Challenge
What I Built
Most of us have sat in standups that somehow consumed time, generated stress, and produced zero meaningful decisions. So I decided to make a useless app to remember these moments in all their chaos and glory.
Behold Standup Chaos Simulator, a web app that generates chaotic developer standups in a chat UI.
Pick your team.
Assign roles.
Choose how doomed the sprint is.
Select extra chaos events.
Watch the meeting unfold message by message like a live team sync that should probably have been async.
Once the fake standup finishes, the app gives you a Team Dysfunction Meter, lets you copy the transcript, and exports the whole thing as a shareable GIF.

How I Built It

No backend, no database, no auth, no LLM calls.
I used Codex as my coding assistant for this project.
