Build an App People Want to Play With

Web Dev Challenge S2.E13 Jan 1, 2026

Build a small, full stack web experience that’s so utterly delightful people can’t help but share it.

We can’t predict what gains momentum online, but sites that go viral tend to have some common traits: they do something unexpected and fun; they’re designed to be extremely shareable; they show a novel use of tools and technology.

Your challenge is to come up with something — funny, fascinating, or otherwise — that has all the right elements of a viral landing page.

For inspiration, look at Neal Agarwal’s work on neal.fun (https://neal.fun/), Lynn Fisher’s porfolio (https://lynnandtonic.com/work/), or the many experiments of Tim Holman (https://tholman.com/) — and then imagine what might be possible using all the tools available to us today.
