Inspiration
Original inspiration came from America's Funniest Videos. Everyone's taking life way too seriously—and honestly, we all need to laugh more. BlooperTroopers was born to bring some levity back into our daily scroll.
What it does
We grab funny videos from social media outlets focused on pranks, fails, funny animals, stand-up, and roasts—pure laughter on demand.
How we built it
We built the app using React + TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind, CSS, and social media APIs, focusing on fast loading, smooth video playback, and smart content aggregation.
Challenges we ran into
-Finding high-quality, rights-safe content -Balancing video compression with playback quality -Designing an interface that feels fun, not cluttered
Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned
Humor is universal, but curation is key Simplicity in design always wins for entertainment apps People love short, punchy content—less is more
