Question 1

How random is the spin, really?

Accepted Answer

The winning angle is generated with crypto.getRandomValues — the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, the same one used by password managers and UUID generators. It is statistically indistinguishable from true randomness and cannot be predicted or gamed.

Question 2

What does 'Remove winner after spin' do?

Accepted Answer

Enabled by default: after each spin the winning segment is removed from the wheel so it can't be picked again. This turns the wheel into a fair draw without replacement — useful for team-picking, raffle ordering, or any situation where each participant should appear exactly once. The toggle disables itself when only one name remains, and that last name is automatically added to the results list so every participant gets a ranked position.

Question 3

What is the Results list and how do I use it?

Accepted Answer

Every winner is appended to the Results list in spin order, with a numbered rank and a colour dot matching their wheel segment. Use the copy icon to export the full list as plain text (e.g. '1. Alice
2. Bob'). The trash icon clears the list and lets you start a fresh draw with the same wheel.

Question 4

How many names can I add?

Accepted Answer

Between 2 and 50 names. Each segment's colour can be changed by clicking the coloured dot next to the label — it cycles through 8 preset colours. Labels longer than 20 characters are truncated with … on the wheel so they stay legible on narrow slices.

Question 5

Does anything leave my browser?

Accepted Answer

No. All randomness, rendering, and state live entirely in your browser tab — no uploads, no server, no network requests of any kind. Refreshing the page resets the wheel to the default names.
