Perchance is a platform for creating and sharing random generators. It allows users to create lists which reference other lists to generate random outputs. Users can adjust the odds of items, import other generators, and alter the capitalization, pluralization, and tense of word lists. Perchance is designed to allow you to create random generators that have a lot of complexity, without requiring any existing coding knowledge, and with a fairly simple interface. Perchance is based on HTML/CSS, and JavaScript, and my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve.
