Frequently asked questions
- Is the spin truly random?
- Yes — each spin uses Math.random() to choose a final angle, so every entry has an equal chance.
- Can I save my list?
- Currently the list lives in the page only. Refreshing resets the default list — copy your list elsewhere if you need to keep it.
- How many entries can I add?
