The Fun Part:
Using HTML Canvas API to overlay text on images was way more satisfying than I expected. There's something magical about watching your text appear with that crispy white stroke and black outline - that's the secret sauce that makes memes... well, memes!
Tech Stack:
React with hooks (useState, useRef, useEffect)
HTML Canvas for image manipulation
Tailwind CSS for that gradient background drip 💧
Lucide React for clean icons
Coolest Feature:
The random meme button! When you're stuck for inspiration, just hit random and let the algorithm choose your destiny. It's like a digital fortune teller but for memes.
Try it yourself! The code is surprisingly simple and it's a great weekend project if you want to learn Canvas API while making something actually fun.
Who says coding can't be entertaining? 😂
