## Essentials

### What is WheelPage?

**[WheelPage](https://wheelpage.com)** is a lightweight, privacy-first decision-making platform that brings multiple random tools into a single, distraction-free interface.

Instead of focusing on a single “spin wheel”, WheelPage is designed to help people **stop overthinking small decisions** and move forward quickly.

* **Designed for**: everyday decisions, classrooms, creators, small games
* **Philosophy**: reduce decision fatigue, not add complexity
* **Login**: not required (runs entirely in the browser)
* **Cost**: free to use

### Core Tools {.col-span-2}

| Tool | Primary Use Case |
| :------------------ | :------------------------------------------ |
| **Spin Wheel** | Random selection, raffles, games |
| **Coin Flip** | Binary decisions (yes/no, heads/tails) |
| **Yes / No Picker** | Instant decisions with zero setup |
| **Number Picker** | Random numbers for ranges, draws, lotteries |

## Design Philosophy

WheelPage is built around a simple idea:

> **Small decisions should not consume big mental energy.**

Key principles:

* **One Box Interface**: all tools live in one consistent mental space
* **Single-Theme UI**: a clean, light interface optimized for clarity
* **Zero Cognitive Load**: no ads, no popups, no account walls
* **Fast Interaction**: open, click, decide
* **Calm by Design**: minimal UI that stays out of the wayions

| Action | Description |
| :-------- | :-------------------------------------- |
| `Space` | Spin the wheel / trigger action |
| `Cmd` `K` | Quick tool switch/search |
| `Cmd` `K` | Quick tool switch/search (if supported) |

* **Entries**: add items man weighted probability for advanced use cases
* **Themes**: clean light theme focused on readability
* **Sound**: toggle sound - **Themes**: clean light theme focused on readabilityness & Transparency

### Randomness Engine

WheelPage uses **browser-native cryptographic randomness** via:

* `crypto.getRandomValues()`

This avoids predictable pseudo-random generators such as `Math.random()`.

### Trust Model

* All randomness is generated **locally in your browser**
* No server-side manipulation
* No user data is uploaded or stored externally

## When to Use WheelPage

WheelPage works best in situations where speed and fairness matter more than configuration depth:

* Deciding what to eat
* Picking a random name or winner
* Classroom participation
* Icebreaker games
* Quick group decisions

* **Yes or No?** Let randomness break the tie
* **Coin Flip**: fast binary decisions
