*This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Passion Edition*

**Passion Flame** is an interactive web experience that celebrates what sets our souls on fire. The core idea: passion is like fire -- it starts as a single spark, grows when shared, and becomes unstoppable when many come together.

The app lets anyone submit what they're passionate about, and Google's Gemini AI crafts a unique, poetic tribute to that passion. Each submission becomes a "flame" on our collective Wall of Flames -- a growing monument to human passion across the globe.

Key features:

Try submitting your own passion! Whether it's "coding," "cooking," "rock climbing," or "helping others" -- the AI will craft something beautiful just for you.

The source code is available on GitHub (link coming soon). Built with:

I started with the metaphor: **passion as fire**. Fire is primal, universal, and visually striking -- perfect for a "Passion" themed challenge. I wanted something that felt immersive from the moment you land on the page.

The hero section features a Canvas 2D particle system with 120 flame-colored particles that spawn from the bottom and rise with physics-based movement. Each particle has its own velocity, lifespan, and sway. Mouse movement creates a repulsion force -- push the flames around!

I used Google's `@google/generative-ai`

SDK with the Gemini 1.5 Flash model. The prompt engineering was key: I crafted a prompt that asks for "short, poetic, inspiring descriptions (2-3 sentences)" with "fire/flame metaphors" and a character limit. When no API key is available, the app falls back to a curated set of 6 poetic templates that rotate based on the passion text hash.

The color palette is built entirely around fire: deep crimsons, bright oranges, warm ambers, and golden yellows against a near-black background. Typography pairs Playfair Display (elegant serif for headings) with Inter (clean sans-serif for body text). Every section has GSAP scroll-triggered entrance animations for that polished feel.

**Best Use of Google AI** -- The Gemini integration is central to the experience. Every passion submission gets a unique AI-generated poetic description, making each interaction personal and memorable.

*Built in a weekend fueled by coffee and genuine passion for building things that spark joy. 🔥*
