A tool for putting random rolls in a messaging app preview
When you paste a link in some apps (like Signal), it generates a site preview, using Meta tags in the page source. This app modifies the meta tag each page load to provide a random output (e.g. a dice roll, coin flip, random excuse, etc.). Since the app only queries the page once to build the preview, the preview that is first generated remains static in the thread.
The site also generates a permalink which encodes the output in the url so it will always come up the same way when the page is loaded in the browser. This can be used for apps that don't generate a preview.
Use cases:
Random dice roll in a thread
Support decision making (e.g. deciding on where to go to lunch)
Random joke excuse (e.g. if you are running late)
Also, if you host (FOSS, source provided) you can add new categories to the JSON config and new random entries, and they will show up.
Comments / feedback appreciated!
