Inject unnecessary engineering into any website. Scanners, inventions, blueprints, chaos effects, and easter eggs. OPEN SAUCE — Inject Unnecessary Engineering Into The Internet 🥔🔧 Every website becomes a ridiculous engineering experiment. Inspired by William Osman, Hacksmith, Michael Reeves, and the Backyard Scientist, Open Sauce turns any webpage into a chaotic engineering playground — 100% local, 100% reversible, and never destructive. 🔬 WEBSITE SCANNER Scan any page and get a fake engineering analysis: Structural Integrity %, Duct Tape Required (rolls), Likelihood William Osman Builds This %, Explosion Probability (Low/Medium/High/Imminent), Bearings Required, Solder Joints, and more. Each of the 8 engineering modes produces different metrics — explosive mode reports Blast Radius, civil mode reports Load Capacity, biomedical mode reports FDA Approval status (spoiler: it's never approved). 🧪 INVENTION GENERATOR Generate random unnecessary inventions like "Hydraulic Bluetooth Banana" or "AI-powered Cardboard Submarine." Each invention includes a category, tagline, difficulty rating (1-5), engineering rating (0-100), materials list, fake CAD drawing description, and a safety warning. 8 engineering modes produce completely different inventions — civil engineers get bridges and dams, electrical engineers get transformers and coils, explosive engineers get potato cannons and thermite charges. 📐 BLUEPRINT MODE Annotate every visible element on the page with engineering callouts: "LOAD BEARING," "NEEDS BEARINGS," "COULD SPIN FASTER," "ADD MORE MOTORS," "TOLERANCE ±0.5mm," "WELD HERE," and 20+ more. Plus measurement chips (Ø 22mm, R 8, M6x1.0) and dashed arrows. Re-scans periodically for SPAs and infinite scroll. 🌀 BROWSER CHAOS (12 reversible effects) Crank the chaos level 0-100 and watch the mayhem: • Button jiggle — buttons wobble randomly • Googly eyes — images gain eyes that track your cursor • Magnet cursor — cards lean toward your pointer • Window wobble — the whole page tilts gently • Scroll inertia — tiny overshoot bounce • Link sparkle — links glow orange • Screen shake — random earthquakes • Drunk rotation — headings and paragraphs slowly tilt • Image meltdown — images droop and sag • Debris particles — nuts, bolts, and gears rain down • Glitch text — headings get RGB-split glitch • Cursor trail — orange sparks follow your cursor At 100% chaos, all 12 effects fire at once. True apocalypse. 💥 8 ENGINEERING MODES (each with unique visual effects) • 🏗️ Civil — concrete cracks, warning cones, falling hard hats, "LOAD BEARING" stamps • ⚡ Electrical — lightning bolts, screen flicker, power surges, blue flashes • ⚙️ Mechanical — drifting gears, page vibration, spinning ⚙️ symbols • 🧪 Chemical — rising bubbles, smoke clouds, acid drips, ☣️ toxic symbols • 🚀 Aerospace — starfield, page tilt, launching rockets, satellites, altitude indicator • 💻 Software — matrix code rain, glitch blocks, fake error popups (ERROR 404, kernel panic) • 🩺 Biomedical — ECG heartbeat line, blood drips, medical crosses, falling pills • 💥 Explosive — warning stripes, strong tremor, random explosions, DANGER labels, fire, red flashes 🎯 ENGINEERING CHALLENGES Generate random build challenges: "Construct a robot that draws mustaches on photos in your house. Constraint: Everything must be powered by rubber bands. Time limit: before someone notices. Reward: William Osman nod of approval." ✨ HIDDEN EASTER EGGS • William Approved stamp — full-screen rotating stamp • Rubber duck — bouncy duck in the corner (click it for an achievement) • Mini robot — walks across the bottom of the screen • Tiny explosion — animated ring + 💥 • Fake firmware update — fake progress bar • Konami code (↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A) — triggers surprises • Triple-click the SAUCE button — William Approved stamp 📸 SCREENSHOT MODE Generate a 1200×800 branded PNG screenshot with blueprint grid, stats, and Open Sauce branding. One-click download. Perfect for posting on X/Reddit. Comes with a random funny caption like "I accidentally engineered Wikipedia." 🏆 ACHIEVEMENT SYSTEM (12 achievements) • First Patent (Pending) — generate your first invention • Prolific Engineer — generate 50 inventions • Mad Scientist — generate 500 inventions • Site Surveyor — run your first scan • Certified Inspector — scan 100 different websites • Chaos Initiate — activate browser chaos • Maximum Chaos — crank chaos to 100 • Safety Disabled (Fake) — toggle the fake safety switch • Blueprint Master — enable blueprint mode • Quack Squad — find the hidden rubber duck • Multi-Disciplinary — try all 8 engineering modes • Master Engineer — unlock every other achievement ⏻ MASTER ON/OFF SWITCH + STOP ALL One-click master switch to turn all effects on or off instantly. Plus a big red STOP ALL panic button that fully restores the page to normal. 🥔 SUPPORT POTATO COLLEGE Open Sauce is free, local, and ad-free. Forever. If it makes you laugh, consider sending a few dollars to Potato College — an independent engineering education project that produces free build videos, workshop writeups, and student engineering grants.
