Well, that’s fairly easy:
- First, you need to get all the names from meetup
- Then, you need to feed those names into a wheel of fortune
Export participants names from meetup.com
Well, obviously there’s the « Export attendees » button, that will create a spreadsheet (.xls) with all participants.
But, if for a reason this button no longer exists, then you can hack around with your favorite browser Developer tools and its Javascript console:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
var candidates=[]; Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName("text--bold text--ellipsisOneLine")).forEach(element => { candidates += element.innerText + "\n" }); alert(candidates) |
This small piece of code will display all the participants names, provided meetup.com does not update the class name.
Use an online wheel of fortune
You want it to accept a list of names, here are some options:
- https://wheelofnames.com/
- https://wheeldecide.com is limited to 100 choices, so nope…
- https://tools-unite.com/tools/random-picker-wheel
