Bored API Activity Wheel
A spin-the-wheel web app that fights boredom with random activities, filters, and a saved list.
Overview
A spin-a-wheel app for when you cannot decide what to do: spin a big canvas wheel and land on a random activity pulled from the Bored API dataset, complete with its type, participant count, price, and accessibility.
Filters narrow the wheel to what actually fits the moment: number of people (solo, two, 4+), price (free, cheap, any), and a multi-select activity type. Once the wheel lands, the result can be saved to a localStorage list for later or copied as a shareable link that reopens the same activity.
Built as a zero-build static app: plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no framework and no build step, with the dataset also bundled locally as a static JSON fallback.
