⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.
- Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.
5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.
- We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (
text-to-image-pluginandai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?" - See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
- You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
- We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.
6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

I guess because you’re always copying everything onto the window object?
Update: I've now added a more general fix so I don't need to do this copy-everything-to-window stuff anymore. Along with solving some miscellaneous bugs, it also fixes the annoying thing where the engine needed to overwrite inline onclick/etc resulting in them 'disappearing' when you look for them in DevTools. Hopefully this fix hasn't introduced any bugs. Please let me know if you spot any issues! @[email protected] @[email protected]
The overall goal here is to push the engine closer and closer to "It's just HTML/JS/CSS (plus some Perchance stuff on top)", instead of having all sorts of engine implementation details "getting in the way" of HTML/JS that should work fine.
Edit: Had to disable the new approach due to an issue, but will hopefully be able to re-enable it tomorrow if all goes well.
Ah great! Those were both pet peeves of mine, but I thought they're probably way too deeply embedded to change at this point. Thanks for this! I'll let you know if I find any new bugs from it. 👍
Heads up: Just found a critical issue with the new approach - had to disable it for now, so it's back to the old approach. Need to sleep soon so probably won't solve it today, but will hopefully get it solved tomorrow 🤞
Cool cool. Do you have any sort of testing set up for perchance? Could be useful for making sure things like this don't break capabilities.
