Hello everyone,

So I'm posting something I've built for the first time on the internet. I'm a non-tech guy; no coding background whatsoever. I built this using Claude and Replit AI.

The backstory: I was genuinely frustrated with someone and wanted to vent without any real world implications. So I thought what if I could upload their photo and just...hit them, kick them, aaaggghh!!

'Kick the Buddy' exists. But the difference here is you upload the actual face of the person you're frustrated with, give them a name, and then punch, kick or whiplash them. For me personally, that made it feel way more satisfying than hitting a random mannequin.

The character's expression changes as you land more hits. Starts annoyed, goes to sad, then fearful, then terrified, then faints.

There's also a public leaderboard. It doesn't store anyone's photo. It only stores the name you gave your character and your total points. And if multiple people enter the same name, the scores get added together. So right now the leaderboard is basically a live poll of 'who is humanity most frustrated with.' Make of that what you will.

Please be kind, this is genuinely the first time I'm posting something I built on the internet. Would love to know what you think about the idea, the execution, anything really. Should I take this forward or just bury it in my cemetery of ideas🥲?
