Using HTML to generate random horrors from beyond...

A webpage that generates random "Elder God" names in the style of H.P. Lovecraft? Sure! This started as a Python project that would generate a list of 10 random names in the style of the infamous Elder Gods from the Lovecraft pantheon. I had so much fun with that I decided to port it over to the land of HTML.

 The page is available on my GitHub, in case anybody wants to summon an unthinkable horror with too many consonants.

The HTML uses the same syllable list and logic as the original Python code, but instead utilizes Javascript. It also adds some nifty apostrophes for that added Lovecraft flair.
