✦ Just one prompt away from figuring it all out.

The room was clean and the baggage was 186 megs

AI StudioCanvasAnimation

Dropped into a raw AI Studio export expecting the usual mess — broken imports, missing API keys, half-wired backend. Found a 12-second SVG animation instead: a stick figure roundhouse-kicks a Gemini eye, a staff flies in and bonks the figure offscreen, the remaining eye morphs into a "0" while the staff becomes a "1" — 10 days until Google I/O 2026. The whole thing is 307 lines of React, zero API calls, zero backend, and it worked on first npm run dev. The catch: it was buried under ~186MB of dead export baggage — express, @google/genai, dotenv, none of them imported anywhere. The animation was the whole app, and the app was ready to ship the moment you scraped the packaging off.
