When to use Random Revision Topic
- Revision session structure — random topic beats "I don't know where to start".
- Essay-prompt generation for practice essays outside of set questions.
- Debate club meetings needing a fresh motion.
- When you specifically want randomness — not a "recommendation engine", not a ranking, just an unbiased pick.
How the picker works
Random Revision Topic runs entirely in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Each pick uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random-number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is uniformly distributed across the option pool.
The pool for this picker: 20 curated options. Every option has an equal probability of being selected on any given pick (about 5.00% per option).
Picker-kind picks return a single random option from the pool. If you add your own options, they're weighted equally alongside the built-in set.
If you want a deliberately weighted pick (favouring some options over others), the picker isn't the right tool — try structuring the choice as a wheel with duplicated entries, or split into two picks (category first, then item within category).
