Thaprathapri

Satirical 'Personal Problem Solving' service with a premium UI

Thaprathapri (থাপড়াথাপড়ি) is a satirical web application designed to look like a premium personal problem-solving agency. Whether it's a friend who won't return borrowed money or a cheating ex, it offers 'services' organized into tiers (Basic, Standard, Premium, Combo). The joke is delivered through a hyper-polished, serious interface built with vibrant gradients and glassmorphism.

[THE CHALLENGE]

Satire only works if the presentation is completely believable. The challenge was to build a UI so premium and fast that users momentarily question if these ridiculous 'services' are actually real.

[THE SOLUTION]

Built a high-performance frontend using Next.js 16 App Router and React 19. Designed a dark/light mode balanced aesthetic with Tailwind CSS 4, and used Framer Motion for smooth, serious-feeling entrance animations and hover states.

[TECHNICAL DEEP DIVE]

Leveraged Shadcn/UI and Radix UI primitives to rapidly build accessible, complex components like tiered pricing cards and modals. Custom React hooks handle the state logic for browsing and 'selecting' the fake services.

// DEVELOPER'S RETROSPECTIVE

"Building a joke project with production-grade tools was incredibly fun. It proved that applying strict TypeScript types and robust Next.js routing to ridiculous content is great practice for actual client work—and it makes the punchline land much harder."
