One late-night session that went from “a wedding invitation page” to “an invitation platform.”
- Started with a single Arjun ♥ Diya invitation — React + Vite + Tailwind v4 + GSAP scroll animations.
- Set live OG meta tags so shared links preview properly on WhatsApp, added a deploy script and TODO tracker.
- Then the scope creep hit: naming research, platform plan, locked the name — Mehfil (Hindi for gathering/celebration venue).
- Closed the night by swapping the venue image to an elegant ballroom shot from Pexels.
From single invite to product idea in ~14 hours. Classic.
