THAT'S A WRAP.
THE DAILY SPARKS ARE DONE.
Every day I picked a theme, wrote down five ideas and shipped one of them before sundown. I now have more ideas than time to build them, so I'm retiring the daily sparks to work through that backlog. Below is every shipped prototype, ranked from my favourite down.
The Final Ranking
Every shipped prototype in personal preference order. Launch one straight away, or open its details for the five sparks and how it was built.
