Bob's Burgers Randomizer
A fun side project that randomizes Bob's Burgers episodes for my partner and I to watch. Features a database of over 300 episodes with a clean, burger-themed interface.
Tech Stack
Project Objective
My partner and I watch Bob's Burgers almost every night before we go to sleep. We ran into an issue of having seen the entire show numerous times. The amazing thing about being a developer is if you need a tool, you can make it yourself. I really wanted a tool that could randomize all the episodes, so I made it!
My Role
My specific role in this project was to be a web designer and full-stack developer. I designed the simple randomizer, and coded it.
Technologies & Tools
The tech stack for this project was HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Challenges & Solutions
The main challenge I had with this web tool was finding a correct data source for my json with every single episode of Bob's Burgers (season, title, episode, etc). I was able to use ChatGPT to generate it and add it to my json file.
Results & Impact
The result of this project was a functional episode randomizer that solved our daily "what episode should we watch?" dilemma. It successfully randomizes from over 300 episodes across all seasons, making our nightly Bob's Burgers viewing much more exciting and unpredictable.
Learning & Growth
This project reinforced my belief in the power of building your own tools when you need them. I learned how to effectively use AI to generate structured data, which saved me hours of manual work. It also reminded me that sometimes the best projects come from solving your own everyday problems.
