Wildest Spinner helps residents generate better participatory budgeting ideas by making the brainstorming process concrete and relational.

Instead of asking the abstract question "How would you improve your city with $1 million?", the tool prompts people to think of specific individuals in their lives, then randomly pairs those people with categorical questions. This human-scaled approach helps participants answer focused prompts about real needs they've observed, leading to more actionable and equitable proposals. Built for facilitators and organizers, Wildest Spinner is fully customizable to your process, works offline for community events without reliable internet, and is completely open source.

You own it, modify it, and use it however serves your community best.
