I built Pickerama — a free visual random picker, because nobody on our team wanted to lead the daily

Wait 5 sec.

Our team needed to pick someone to lead the daily standup for the next two weeks. Nobody wanted to “win”, so I thought it would be fun to make the selection a little more dramatic and fun. I built Pickerama: a free random picker with different animated scenes. You can use it to choose a person or pick from a list of options. You can enter "present" mode to make everything bigger, perfect for ie. screen sharing and whole team can watch who will "win" ;p It doesn’t require an account, and entries stay in your browser. I’d love feedback on two things: - does the homepage explain the idea clearly - which picker would you actually use? My personal favourite is curling because the last person can completely change the results / winner :) ps. it's mostly developed with desktop in mind, there are 2-3 bugs on mobile (which i will fix soon) --- Technical TL;DR (if somebody cares ;) ) - deployed on Cloudflare Pages/Workers Completely Free. The only real cost is the domain (10 $). - backlog contains 57 tickets implemented - I used OpenCode Go / OpenRouter mostly using ultra cheap models like: Deepseek Flash V4.1, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor, MiniMax M3.1 Flash - real "api usage" was probably something like 5-10 $ - the funniest and trickest part with these models was to build interesting three.js 3d animation scenes with some dramatic, proper camera etc. (to be fair, i wasn't that familiar with three.js)   submitted by   /u/Certain_Performer481 [link]   [comments]
