Idea
Make a tiny Shopify app that adds a shower of animated sheep to a storefront at the push of a button. No business justification, just a fast way to test how quickly AI can scaffold something installable and ridiculous.
Status
We reached a rough proof of concept with sheep falling, colliding badly, and occasionally disappearing into the footer. That counts as success for week one.
Problems Faced
- The generated front-end code wanted to solve physics with vibes.
- Theme integration details got muddled whenever we stopped being specific.
Techniques That Helped
- Limit the animation scope before asking the AI for polish.
- Keep the install surface brutally small.
Lessons Learned
Comedy is useful because it exposes over-engineering immediately. If the joke stops being funny, the architecture is probably bloated.
