I found
A Barber’s Shop (https://wellcomecollection.org/works/j27a3t9c) in the Wellcome Collection, a public-domain coloured etching after W. H. Bunbury and decided it needed a very bad Tuesday. I cropped off its caption and border, built a custom @Recraft Style from it, and told a Georgian barber to cope with selfie sticks, delivery scooters, drones, video calls, robot vacuums and a smart mirror with opinions.
The result is Opening Night at the Barber's Puppet Theatre: eight acts in which the Maestro keeps trimming through everything with a perfectly straight face, the Customer panics for all of us, and a black cat in a bow tie steals every scene. Nobody in 1807 asked for a robot vacuum to eat their wig, but the etching took it remarkably well. The Style is public, so you can ruin a Georgian's afternoon too.
Curtain Up: The Infinite Selfie. One face, five mirrors, zero regrets.
Act I: Special Delivery Tsunami. Your pizza has arrived, and so has everyone else's.
Act II: Drone vs Scissors Duel. The Maestro blinked at nothing.
Act III: The Video Call Tribunal. Your worst haircuts have joined the meeting.
Interval: The Hair Symphony. It's a good hairstyle, but the wigs sing.
Act IV: The Robot Vacuum Colosseum. The wigs didn't make it.
Act V: The Smart Mirror Roast Battle. The mirror's feedback was not requested.
Curtain Call: All Disasters Bow. Five stars. Would panic again. series continued in the comments

My goal was to make a hypnotic 3D spatial tunnel optical illusion entirely in pure, lightweight animated SVG. Built for the Challenge , this interactive template transforms product and lookbook photography , into an infinite radial voyage, designed for luxury brand launches, hero sections, and immersive storytelling.
Key Highlights -:
Optical Illusion Engine: 6 continuous cascading annular waves expanding outward with warp-speed acceleration.
Polar Perspective Mapping: Custom mathematical radial elongation where cards flow seamlessly from a luminous vanishing core with heads pointed outward.
Programmed via SVGator MCP: Harnessed the SVGator MCP (Model Context Protocol) to programmatically calculate geometric bezier curves, and orchestrate multi-tier timeline keyframes
100% Swappable & Re-brandable: Built with an intuitive layer hierarchy featuring dedicated image slots—swap the 8 primary hero images for a quick update, or all 48 images across the 6 concentric waves for a full tunnel rebrand.

Prop rental is an asset-based appointment business—instead of booking a person's time slot, you are locking down an asset's availability window.
PROP HOUSE // LEDGER turns a prop inquiry into a confirmed, deposit-locked booking without email back-and-forth. It covers both the front door (check availability, swap conflicts, sign off, deposit) and the follow-through (return timers, overdue reminders, auto-resolve).
Built for a solo Detroit prop house (100 objects, 7am to 7pm pulls, 48-hour night-shoot notice) that was losing hours to double-bookings, no-shows and late-return chasing. Ledger swaps conflicts and keeps every return on schedule.
Build the scene. Not a cart.
A prop rental tool for film sets. Art directors plan their props on a visual grid, and owners keep every rental on schedule from one dashboard.
The problem--
A double-booked prop can stall a shoot. Most rental sites work like online shops, with a cart and a long email thread for every change.
What it does--
-Plan on a grid. Drag(or click) cutout props onto the Staging Floor and see rates add up as you go. No login is needed, and your scene saves in your browser.
-Swap conflicts instantly. If a prop is already booked for your dates, Ledger suggests an available archival substitute in the same category. You sign off on a quick waiver and the deposit is locked in.
-Sync across devices. Sign in and your manifest follows you, connected to the owner's records.
-Run the whole rental in one place. The Owner Ledger shows active sets, live return countdowns and late fees. Press [ AUTO-RESOLVE ALL ] to clear collisions and send overdue reminders.
Try it: https://prophouse-ledger.lovable.app/
Everything above works without an account, including Sandbox Mode for the Owner Ledger. Drag-and-drop (or click), rate and deposit math, substitute matching and status changes (ON SET → RETURNED) all persist between sessions.
Demo note: checkout uses a sample deposit slip with an email field for production notices and doesn't charge a real card. [ AUTO-RESOLVE ALL ] records timestamped "reminder sent" stamps in the ledger as a stand-in for dispatch webhooks. "The Mail Reminder" button opens a pre-filled draft that the owner sends from their own email app.
