Running the App

This project is entirely client side. Open index.html in a web browser to start. Participant data is stored in your browser's local storage so it stays between sessions.

Participants

The Participants page lets you manage the list of players stored in the browser.

Add participants

• Fill in a name in the input box.
• Optionally tick Paid to mark the participant as paid.
• Press Add to save the participant.

Delete all and delete one

• Each participant in the list has a Delete button for removing just that entry.
• Use Delete All Participants to clear the entire list at once.

Choose a random participant

• Click Pick Random Player to start a short countdown and choose someone at random from the current list.
