Prank Like a Dev 😈

This project was created for my Medium article:
👉 Prank Like a Dev: April Fools with MediaRecorder API & AWS Amplify

What is it?

A harmless little April Fools' prank designed to look like a profile picture verification page. It:

• Requests camera access from the user
• Displays a fake UI to make them focus
• Plays a scary sound and image when the button is clicked
• Records the user's reaction using the MediaRecorder API
• Downloads the video locally (nothing is uploaded!)

Disclaimer

This version includes both a cute lamb and the classic scary face. The deployed example uses the lamb, but feel free to switch to the scary version in the code if you're feeling mischievous 😄
