Text Mom Your Stats

Step 1 of 6 Patient intake

What does the kid in you call her?

Her name, her nickname, and what's happening today. We fold all three into her stats — so a dentist-appointment vitals card lands different than a thinking-of-you one.

Mom's name *

Or what you actually call her

Today's occasion (shapes the stats — pick one or write your own)

Quick picks

◆ Behind the scenes

The occasion field is the system prompt's first input — it steers Claude Haiku 4.5's framing so a "flight" card reads different than "thinking of you"
Name + occasion arrive together so the first stat can acknowledge today's reason before the quirky ones land
Backend stores everything in families/yyslim_<uuid>/ — same family-folder pattern as the full YesterYears tribute pipeline

Step 2 of 6 Her photos

Drop her in. Six max.

Up to 6 photos — that's the whole bouquet. The first one becomes the hero card (her name sits on it). The other five cycle as backgrounds for the stat overlays.

Photos * (1–6 · the first one is the hero)

Something she likes

◆ Behind the scenes

Pillow (PIL) composes each frame at 1440×1080, center-cropped to 4:3
Espresso-tinted dim layer + drop-shadow Fraunces caption for legibility on any photo
ffmpeg applies a subtle Ken-Burns zoompan (1.00 → 1.06) per segment
Multi-file dropzone reuses the same dedupe-by-name+size loop as the full intake.html wizard
Wave 8.13b stale-file probe (slice(0, 16).arrayBuffer()) catches photos moved on disk between pick + submit

Step 3 of 6 Her quirks

The specifics. Not the abstractions.

Tap the chips that fit her — or write your own underneath. Specifics make the stats funny: "Phillies forever" beats "sports fan."

Pick what fits (tap one or many — we factor in your occasion)

Add your own (comma · pipe · middot separators)

◆ Behind the scenes

Gemini Flash Vision reads up to 3 photos + the occasion field, returns 5–8 quirks anchored in what it actually sees
Selected chips + free-text quirks are merged + deduped on submit; the prompt receives the full set
Claude Haiku 4.5 is the primary stats writer (prompt bans "beloved · amazing · supermom · queen · warrior · best mom ever")
Gemini 2.5 Flash → flash-lite → 2.0 Flash cascade as fallback if Anthropic 503s
Stats land in ~1.5s of total inference time

Step 4 of 6 One short clip

Got 20 seconds of Mom in motion?

One clip, up to 20 seconds. It plays in full inside her vitals card — between the stats and the close. Anything longer than 20s gets trimmed to the best 20-second window. Optional, photos alone make a complete card.

Short clip (optional · 1 · up to 20 sec · plays in full)

▷

Click or drop a short video here

MP4 or MOV · 1 clip · longer than 20s gets trimmed

◆ Behind the scenes

ffmpeg trims to a centered 20-second window if needed — -ss MID -t 20
The clip plays in FULL inside the timeline (not just a poster) — slots between stats 4 and the close
Normalized to scale=1440:1080,fps=30 so mixed-fps phones / VHS rips don't freeze the chain
Poster frame extracted at 1.0s into the trim — joins the photo rotation as a still
The wizard's bouquet ties a green ribbon around the vase the moment a clip lands

Step 5 of 6 Soundtrack

Pick her tune.

Three instrumental tracks, each ElevenLabs Music-generated. Preview ▷ to hear them, then tap Select to lock one in for her card. Porchlight is the default — most universal.

◆ Behind the scenes

ElevenLabs Music composed three 22-second instrumental loops from text briefs
porchlight — acoustic + brushed guitar (warm, universal)
kitchen-radio — 1960s vibraphone jingle (cheeky, kitschy)
garden-light — Penguin Cafe × Joe Hisaishi strings (tender, cinematic)
Your selection passes to the backend as track_choice; ffmpeg mixes it under the video with a soft fade-in/out
Loop is timed to the 100 BPM downbeat so stats land on a beat

Signed by (your name — appears on the postcard)

Step 6 of 6 Send her vitals

Take her pulse. Send her vitals.

One last look. Card goes to a vitals-monitor render screen, then drops the postcard into her bouquet. Hit send when you're ready.

◆ How long this takes

Claude Haiku 4.5 writes her vitals — occasion-aware, ~1.5s of inference
Pillow (PIL) composes 7 frames in ~2s — hero card + stat overlays + closing collage
ffmpeg renders + mixes audio with the track you picked in ~25s
30–60 seconds total · postcard auto-tucks into her bouquet on completion
