Omikuji for Devs is an interactive fortune-telling web app inspired by the Japanese shrine tradition of drawing omikuji slips. Each draw reveals a developer-themed fortune across four categories — 全体運 (overall), 仕事運 (work), 学問運 (study), and 助言 (advice) — ranging from 大吉 (great fortune) to 大凶 (great misfortune). Built over a pixel art shrine scene with an animated shake-and-reveal mechanic.

Developers spend a lot of time in terminals and PR queues. Sometimes you just need the universe to weigh in. This app provides that — a moment of ritual before you push to main.
