My Brain When Everything Is Fine

My Brain When Everything Is Fine is exactly what it sounds like — a meme website that generates random anxiety-inducing button choices. You’re presented with two options, both terrible, and your “crisis count” goes up no matter what you pick.

It’s dumb. It’s fun. It runs on Kubernetes because of course it does.

Features

• Random Meme Scenarios — Two equally terrible button choices every time
• Crisis Counter — Tracks your poor decisions in local storage
• Snarky Toast Messages — Because feedback should hurt
• Category Filtering — Browse your anxiety by topic
• Keyboard Shortcuts — Space/Enter for a fresh crisis
• Statistics — See how many people are suffering alongside you
• Animated Gradients — At least it looks good while judging you

Technical Details

The stack is deliberately overengineered for what it does, which is part of the joke:

• Go 1.23 with Gin framework for a REST API
• PostgreSQL 16 with GORM for storing scenarios
• Vanilla JavaScript frontend — no framework needed for existential dread
• Nginx reverse proxy
• Docker multi-stage builds
• Kubernetes manifests with Kustomize

The API serves randomized scenarios with two button choices, tracks stats, and supports category filtering. The frontend is pure HTML/CSS/JS with animated gradient backgrounds and CSS3 animations.

Why This Exists

Sometimes you build things because they solve problems. Sometimes you build things because it’s 2 AM and the idea makes you laugh. This is the second kind.

It also happens to be a decent playground for testing Kubernetes deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and container orchestration patterns — but mostly it exists because memes.

This project is currently closed source but will likely be released in the near future.
