Show HN: I built a random dilemma generator
dilemma.wtfLast week my 9 year old son walked up to me and asked "Would your rather shit your pants in public or drink spoiled milk?", and I was intrigued. Turns out he did not make this up himself, but got the dilemma from a card game.
A couple of nights ago I decided to digitize some of these cards and create a simple open source app for it.
Just a little fun project; no monetization or bigger goal, really.

Tech stack:
- Back-end: Laravel
- Front-end: Plain HTML and Tailwind with a sprinkle of Alpine.js
- Deployment: Laravel Forge, linked to a Hetzner VPS. Deployment triggers whenever I merge to main.
The app itself is super simple. Just a bunch of markdown files and a controller that picks two random files ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cool but alot are glaringly obvious which ones you would pick It might benefit from an Elo rank, where the dilemma that doesn't get picked scores higher and dilemmas are matched against similar ranked ones. good for content creation ideas
