This was a project I made in a little over 4 hours, from idea to finished implementation, and finally purchasing the domain and setting up the hosting on S3 (since it's entirely static).

Completely pointless, but it was fun to make.

Good effort!

Seem to have lost a few minutes clicking generate..

What's the sad smiley I keep getting?

kkamperschroerOP11y ago

I guess sad smiley isn't very explanatory. It happens when there are either no consonants or no vowels selected. It's a dead simple algorithm that alternates between the two.

I should have it ensure at least one vowel or consonant is provided when clicking randomize, or give a popup.

Thanks for your feedback.
