Latest Changes All Releases
v2.0.0 Latest May 2026
Comment Picker — Complete Overhaul
  • All-new animated spin reel: spins naturally, slows down, then snaps the winner into the center spotlight
  • When picking multiple winners, each winner is revealed one by one with a full animation — not all at once
  • Tick sound plays during the spin with pitch descending as the reel slows, matching the feel of other tools
  • Winner popup shows all selected winners in order after the final reveal, with trophy and numbered badges
  • Download your result as a branded PNG image, or share it directly from the winner popup
  • Smart duplicate removal: the same @username with different comment text now correctly counts as one entry
  • Zen focus mode, full theme support, and a second Pick Winner button in the main view
  • Comments textarea pre-filled with example entries so first-time users know the format instantly
Team Generator — Major Upgrade
  • Skill rating per player: assign a strength level so the balanced split puts the strongest players on different teams
  • Save and reload your player lists and team configurations — no need to re-enter names each time
  • Edit team names directly on the card — the team wheel updates live as you type
  • Zen mode splits teams across both sides of the screen for easy reading with large groups
Download & Share (All Tools)
  • Download your spin result as a PNG image on every spinner and picker page
  • Share results to social media directly from the winner popup on all tools

Themes & Visual Polish

  • Minimal theme redesigned with a clean charcoal and slate palette, clearly distinct from the default blue look
  • Gaming theme recolored with a vivid neon green accent for a distinct esports identity
  • Studio theme updated with a warm amber accent on an ultra-dark background for a professional recording-studio feel
  • All themes now apply consistently across the user dashboard, admin panel, and settings pages
  • Zen mode background now reads the page's own theme color, so it matches each themed picker correctly
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed the Comment Picker announcing the wrong winner — the entry fully visible in the center box is now always the winner
  • Fixed spinning wheel always landing on the same result due to a non-random starting angle
  • Fixed Zen mode not hiding the correct UI elements on several tool pages
  • Fixed sitemap generating broken URLs for admin and user routes
