      Looks like your random-mixup-flag-image gen is getting quite a few views! People are trying to type flag combinations into the comments box - I think they’re landing there from a google search, thinking that they can type their own flag combinations but they don’t realise that it’s actually a comments box.

      It’d be cool if you replaced the two names at the top with two <input>s and then add a “randomize” button next to those two inputs. So you can type your own countries into the box, or you can click the randomize button to generate two random country names.

      Then the button at the bottom is what triggers the image generation - kinda like this: https://user-uploads.perchance.org/file/413361fb65b9123ed557a62c62cc4dc3.webp (excuse my bad photopea skills)

      (Edit: Oh, I see from the message on that page that you’re actually planning to update it soon! I’m guessing you noticed those comments too and already intended to do something roughly like I mentioned above)

        Yeah, same reason with my random flag generator, which is why I opted in to optimize those generators for discoverability (and probably will surpass the views of my name generator sooner 😆). Also, there’s probably not many flag generators out there (only some national flag generators, not a completely abstract one) at that time, so I decided to make one.

        It’d be cool if you replaced the two names at the top with two <input>s and then add a “randomize” button next to those two inputs.

        That sounds a great update! I’m not sure how that’d be implemented yet, but surely this will come out as an option in the generator, users could choose whether to select their own countries to combine from or let the generator randomize it automatically (default behavior), maybe through a button that would be placed around here:

            @[email protected] The flag generator now tops at 9.9k views while the name generator’s still at 8.3k views. Yeah, the flag generator will definitely reach 10.0k views first after the Generator Manager. I see this was a historical runaway moment 🚩
