Using the Wheel
How do I add choices to the wheel?
To add choices:
- Type your choice in the text input field on the right side of the page

Each choice will appear in the list below the input field and will be added to the wheel automatically.
How many choices can I add to the wheel?

- Click on the "SPIN" button in the center of the wheel
- Press the spacebar on your keyboard
Can I remove a specific choice?
Yes, to remove a specific choice, find it in the choices list and click the trash icon next to it. The choice will be removed from both the list and the wheel immediately.
Saving & Loading
How do I save my set of choices?
To save your current set of choices:

- Click "Save" to store your choices
Your saved set will be stored locally on your device and will be available the next time you visit Spin In Wheel.
Where are my saved sets stored?
Your saved sets are stored locally on your device using browser local storage. This means:
- Your data stays on your device and is not uploaded to our servers
- Your saved sets will persist between sessions on the same browser/device

- Your saved sets won't be available on different devices or browsers

Customization
Can I change the colors of the wheel?
Yes, the wheel automatically uses a set of visually distinct colors that rotate based on the number of choices. We're working on adding custom color selection in a future update.
Can I adjust the size of the wheel?
Yes, you can use the fullscreen button located in the top-right corner of the wheel container to expand the wheel to fullscreen mode. Additionally, the wheel automatically resizes based on your screen size and orientation.
Can I add weights to give some choices higher probability?
Currently, all choices have equal probability. However, you can add the same choice multiple times to increase its chances of being selected. For example, adding "Option A" three times and "Option B" once would give "Option A" a 75% chance of winning.
