Built a wheel that decides who cleans the bathroom so my housemates stop arguing

I built a chore rotation app over the weekend because I was tired of seeing the same argument everywhere

You know the one. "Who was supposed to take out the trash." Every shared house, every friend group, every year.

The idea was stupid simple: spin a wheel every Monday, chores get assigned automatically, nobody has to be the bad guy. I thought I'd have 3 screens and call it done.

Somehow it ended up with XP, a leaderboard, a reward system where you can earn tokens to skip chores or win pizza nights, and something called a Bribe Fund. I don't fully know how it got there but it's staying.

No app download needed — your housemates just open a link and join. That was the one thing I was stubborn about because you literally cannot make people download apps.

Live at spin-chores.replit.app — would love honest feedback, especially if anything is confusing on first use.
