This project is completed.
Ever wanted to have a widget on your website, that simply by clicking would immediately cause a ninja to pop out of the shadows? Another click might have a ninja descend from the search bar, and a third still might reveal a ninja crouching under the website's logo. That is the goal of this project. Inspired by cornify.com, ninjify.com will have an embeddable piece of javascript that third parties can use. This javascript produces a clickable button that, when touched, paints a picture of one of 5-10 different ninjas on the page.
Common, it's ninjas! What can be better? (And don't say pirates.)
Why not do an abstract version of this thing? I visited cornify.com, and as sweet and comforting as having sparkling ponies and friendly rainbows all around is in itself, I think we could reach for higher skies (as long as we assume ninjas can fly, which they do, of course... just ask Google for flying ninjas, they're all over the place).
We could simply, server-side, take in a list of image URLs, give it a name, and give back a piece of code to the list submitter (a piece of JS to execute in a onclick or smtg). When the bookmarklet is loaded, it loads the images like cornify.
That'd take like what, 30 minutes? And the web would surely be a better place to raise kids afterwards!

Sorry, somebody already built it at http://ninjafy.com. It came just a few days after Cornify was launched, along with NippleIt, Hoffify and Sharkify (see the links at the bottom of Cornify.com).
Rainbow love forever!

Yup, that was me. Been keeping track of how Cornify makes it's rounds through the internet and came across Ninjafy and the others. The most weird clone so far is cornify.co.uk - read especially the last line of text at the bottom.

Hey cornify, love to talk to you about potentially working together on something. Love the cornify site!

Obviously a team will come and build piratify.com, and when you use their bookmarklet, they start fighting off the ninjas. So better build good defense mechanisms in there! (This not existing is a saddening deficiency of the internets)
