Elektu!

A small page to help select people from a group

Open source, no-app-needed clone of the excellent app Chwazi

If the app's so good, why a clone?

• I wanted the possibility to give a random number to each person
• I was bored
• No need to install anything, that's better, probably?
• 0% tracking (I'm not implying chwazi does anything naughty. But here I know nothing evil goes on). The only thing there is a user counter available at goatcounter.
• why not?

The name

Elektu means "choose" in esperanto. Note, I don't speak esperanto, so maybe the name's dead wrong. But I still like it.
