A drawing-prompt spinner for beating the blank page: nine categories, Beginner/Advanced modes, retro synth sounds — by someone who last coded HTML in 2000.
Daily Doodle exists to answer the question every artist dreads: what should I draw today? Pick which categories you want in play, hit spin, and it mashes them together into something like "a Pencil Anime-style drawing of a Detective Octopus wearing a Hoodie, with a Boombox, riding a Scooter, looking Happy, in the Woods." Nine categories — Animal, Occupation, Prop, Vehicle, Style, Medium, Outfit, Mood, Setting — all toggleable and fully editable: add your own items, clear a category, or restore the starter list. No two spins land the same. The details show it was built to actually get used. Beginner mode keeps just the original three categories with nothing to configure; Advanced unlocks all nine with individual toggles. A live counter backed by Firebase tracks total spins across everyone. Retro sound effects — a boop-boop-boop while spinning, a tada on landing — are synthesized entirely with the Web Audio API, so there's no audio file to load or license. An "avoid repeats until all shown" option, a copy button for shareable text, and a recent-doodles list round it out. The backstory is the best part. The author, Andy, took web design in high school "in the year 2000, when it was all about learning HTML tags" — that was the most coding he'd ever done. After a friend's dinner-table dare ("you really should try vibe coding"), he built the whole thing by editing a single `index.html` directly in the GitHub web UI, at one point copy-pasting full HTML files because he wasn't sure how GitHub Desktop worked. It's hosted free on GitHub Pages and costs nothing to run. Proof that the blank page — and the blank code editor — are both beatable.
