Is the result truly random?
Yes. The result uses the Web Crypto API (Math.random() fallback on older browsers) to generate a random value. There's no pattern, no memory of previous flips, and no bias toward yes or no. Each flip is a clean 50/50.
How is this different from a coin flip?
Functionally identical — both give a 50/50 random yes or no. The card format is a different aesthetic and interaction. If you're asking a yes/no question (rather than heads/tails), the card can feel more appropriate.
What if I don't like the answer?
If your first instinct on seeing the result is disappointment, that's useful information — it often reveals what you actually wanted the answer to be. Consider whether you should follow your gut instead of the flip.
Can I use this for important decisions?
For low-stakes decisions, absolutely. For significant decisions — medical, financial, legal — don't rely on randomness alone. The tool is best used to break small deadlocks or to force yourself to notice your emotional response to a random outcome.
