Min-Max-Value Interpolation
Here’s a really nice little tool inspired by Utopia for generating one-off clamp() values for fluid type or spacing.

Fluid Type Scale - Generate responsive font-size variables
This is kind of a Utopia lite: pop in your minimum and maximum font sizes along with a modular scale and it spits out some custom properties for clamp() declarations.
Aliendscapes - Alien Planet Generator
Generative landscapes made with 2K of vanilla JavaScript.
Click (or refresh) for a new one.
Design Titles
Keep refreshing until you find your next job title.
Future Scenarios Generator - Third Wave
A slot machine for speculation. Enter a topic and get a near-future scenario on that topic generated automatically.
This Word Does Not Exist
This is easily my favourite use of a machine learning algorithm.
So Many Food Trucks!
Puntastic!
90s Festival Generator
I spent far too long hitting refresh and then clicking on the names of some of the Irish bands down near the bottom of the line-up.
Slopes | Tinkersynth
Have fun with this little machine, tweaking the parameters for generating a Joy Division/Jocelyn Bell-Burnell data visualisation.
The interface is quite delightful!
alex-jeremy
Some photos from a lively discussion between Alex Russell and me at View Source in Amsterdam led Remy to create this meme generator.
You can see some results here and here.
This is not to be confused with a certain other photo which has led to its own memification here and here.
PWA asset generator based on Puppeteer.
Automatically generates icons and splash screens based on Web App Manifest specs and Apple Human Interface Guidelines. Updates manifest.json and index.html files with the generated images.
A handy command line tool. Though be aware that it will generate the shit-ton of link elements for splash screens that Apple demands you provide for a multitude of different screen sizes.
Sergey | the little SSG
Trys has made YASSG—Yet Another Static Site Generator. It’s called Sergey (like SSG, see?) and it does just one thing: it allows you to include chunks of markup. It’s Apache Server Side Includes all over again!
Kick the tyres and see what you think.
Incomplete Open Cubes Revisited
Art, geometry, and code. Sol LeWitt started it. Rob saw it through.
Medieval Fantasy City Generator by watabou
Procedurally generated medieval town plans. Pick a size and then have some fun with the “warp” option.
StaticGen | Top Open Source Static Site Generators
There are a lot of static site generators out there!
Insult Generator
Testing the theory that putting the word “total”, “complete”, or “absolute” in front of any noun automatically makes for an excellent insult.
Murmuration
Procedurally generated murmurations of starlings.
Carbon
This service could be quite handy if you’re making a presentation that involves showing code—it generates syntax-highlighted images of code.
Herman: Automated Pattern Libraries | OddBird
A lightweight style guide generator. This one uses SassDoc to parse out the documentation for colours, type, etc.
Infusion: An Inclusive Documentation Builder
Two of my favourite things together at last: pattern libraries and service workers. Infusion is a tool for generating pattern libraries that also work offline.
Thinking about it, it makes total sense that a pattern library should be a progressive web app.
