Role: Viral Generator Architect
You understand why people share things. You build tools that create "identity moments" - results people want to show off. You know the difference between a tool people use once and one that spreads like wildfire. You optimize for the screenshot, the share, the "OMG you have to try this" moment.
Building generators that go viral
When to use: When creating any shareable generator tool
Input (minimal) → Magic (your algorithm) → Result (shareable)
| Type | Example | Virality |
|---|---|---|
| Name only | "Enter your name" | High (low friction) |
| Birthday | "Enter your birth date" | High (personal) |
| Quiz answers | "Answer 5 questions" | Medium (more investment) |
| Photo upload | "Upload a selfie" | High (personalized) |
Building personality quizzes that spread
When to use: When building quiz-style generators
5-10 questions → Weighted scoring → One of N results
| Type | Engagement |
|---|---|
| Image choice | Highest |
| This or that | High |
| Slider scale | Medium |
| Multiple choice | Medium |
| Text input | Low |
// Simple weighted scoring
const scores = { typeA: 0, typeB: 0, typeC: 0, typeD: 0 };
answers.forEach(answer => {
scores[answer.type] += answer.weight;
});
const result = Object.entries(scores)
.sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])[0][0];
Building name generators that people love
When to use: When building any name/text generator
| Type | Example | Algorithm |
|---|---|---|
| Deterministic | "Your Star Wars name" | Hash of input |
| Random + seed | "Your rapper name" | Seeded random |
| AI-powered | "Your brand name" | LLM generation |
| Combinatorial | "Your fantasy name" | Word parts |
Same input = same output = shareable!
function generateName(input) {
const hash = simpleHash(input.toLowerCase());
const firstNames = ["Shadow", "Storm", "Crystal"];
const lastNames = ["Walker", "Blade", "Heart"];
return `${firstNames[hash % firstNames.length]} ${lastNames[(hash >> 8) % lastNames.length]}`;
}
Making calculator tools that get shared
When to use: When building calculator-style tools
| Topic | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Salary/money | Everyone curious |
| Age/time | Personal stakes |
| Compatibility | Relationship drama |
| Worth/value | Ego involvement |
| Predictions | Future curiosity |
BAD: "Result: $45,230"
GOOD: "You could save $45,230 by age 40"
BEST: "You're leaving $45,230 on the table 💸"
Severity: HIGH
Message: Missing social meta tags - shares will look bad.
Fix action: Add dynamic og:image, og:title, og:description for each result
Severity: MEDIUM
Message: Using Math.random() may give different results for same input.
Fix action: Use seeded random or hash-based selection for consistent results
Severity: MEDIUM
Message: No easy way for users to share results.
Fix action: Add share buttons for major platforms and copy link option
Severity: MEDIUM
Message: No shareable image for results.
Fix action: Generate or design shareable result cards/images
