Hello Steemians!
I was curious how to interact with the Steem blockchain over websockets, so I put together a Codepen using Angular and a little Bootstrap. After an hour or so of reading docs, coding and such, turned out I made a neat tool which lets you pick a (seeded & weighted) random follower from your list. You can also switch usernames and pick a follower from any Steem user account.
I might go into the technical aspects of it in another post if you all are interested, but for now I'll just share the link. Some of you might find it useful for contests, or giveaways. Feel free to use the tool for your own purposes, and reuse any code you need. :)

P.s. I am using ES6 JavaScript on this project. You might have problems opening it in older browsers.
P.p.s. Edit: I completely forgot to mention that this is what we'll be using for our milestone raffle/giveaway mentioned here! I'm not the world's best writer lol.
