Bouchique

Bouchique is a link you send instead of flowers. Type a name, pick a wish, and the page grows a one of a kind bouquet of hand-drawn flowers. Every visit composes a brand new arrangement.

The name borrows from "boutique," a small, carefully curated shop, softened into something more playful. The tagline says it plainly: “flowers for you, [name]!”

Every bloom is a randomly composed SVG. Petals, stems, leaves, and poses get chosen per visit, so no two bouquets are ever identical. The flowers lean toward the cursor and blow a kiss when hovered. The whole page is drawn by hand. No emoji anywhere.

TThe soundtrack is synthesized live with the Web Audio API, a music box lullaby whose tone shifts with the chosen wish, so a “Good morning” sounds different from a “Goodnight.”

Sharing was the whole reason to build this, so the preview had to actually look good. Bouchique renders custom Open Graph cards on Vercel Edge Functions. Sharing ?name=Maya&wish=goodnight into Discord or WhatsApp shows a card with Maya's name on it before anyone even clicks.

Recipients can also embed a Spotify or YouTube track, or upload their own song. Turns the bouquet into something closer to a mixtape.

I put the most effort into the parts nobody has to notice. Hand-drawn SVG iconography throughout, zero emoji, MIT licensed so anyone can fork their own bouquet.

It's fully open source. The repo includes the edge-function OG renderer and the Web Audio engine.
