      <description>&lt;p&gt;Does anybody else have this problem? My family asks me to have everyone draw names from a hat, something I could do in 3 minutes. Where does my mind go?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"I've done this &lt;em&gt;hundreds&lt;/em&gt; [read '5'] of times. I could fix this by [...]"&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There I go again, trying to fix the world's non-existent problems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyways, I thought I'd share my latest project, which was to whip together a basic tool to randomize the assignments for our family's Secret Santa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="//secret-santa.orangealligator.io"&gt;Secret Santa Shuffler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's a pretty basic app made with Svelte 3, which is what I've been using for the last few months for small projects. I was looking for an excuse to try the awesome built-in &lt;a href="https://svelte.dev/docs#svelte_animate"&gt;Svelte animations&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you'd like to fork and give it superpowers (like input validation), the source code is public on my GitHub.&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;/a&gt; / &lt;a href="https://github.com/thompcd/secret-santa-shuffle"&gt;
        secret-santa-shuffle
      &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/h2&gt;
    &lt;h3&gt;
      Secret Santa assigner
    &lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
