**Talk:** Vibe Coding a Tamagotchi in Next.js
**Speaker:** Andrew Njoo

**Abstract:**
Ever wanted to build something just for the vibes? In this talk, I’ll walk through how I prototyped a Tamagotchi-style app using Next.js and TailwindCSS — not for a client, not for a launch, but just to explore joy in coding. We'll cover core frontend logic (state management, time-based updates), CSS animations, and light gamification. The goal isn’t perfection — it's flow, play, and remembering why we started coding in the first place. Expect code demos, a few laughs, and maybe even a virtual pet revival.

**Meetup Schedule:** 6:00 - 6:30 -> Food and networking 6:30 - 7:00 -> Lightning presentations and Battledecks 7:00 - 8:00 -> Main presentation and Q&A 8:00 -> Walk to Zilker Brewing and hangout
