crazy-lab

Crazy Lab is a lighthearted, zero-pretense collection of web toys. It solves a small but real problem: those little ideas that are too playful for a polished product page but too fun to let die in a notes app. A 30-line script, a weird browser gadget, a 2 a.m. spark — all welcome. The only rule is that it has to be interesting, playable, and never boring.

Two experiments are ready to run today. The Zhihu reading plugin exposes three agent-callable tools — zhihu_fetch_column for column threads, zhihu_fetch_answer for Q&A entries, and zhihu_search for site-wide queries. Because Zhihu returns a 403 to data-center IPs, the plugin ships with an injection point so you can route requests through a locally logged-in browser while reusing the full parsing layer. The Daily Surf generator is a single-file, front-end-only randomizer: one click and you get a cold fact, an obscure website, a one-line challenge, a random GPS coordinate, a random year, a cloud trip, or a music blind box. No backend, no setup — just open the page and surf.

An open idea pool sits alongside the finished pieces: Random City Walk, Anti-Algorithm Feed, One-Sentence Product, Late-Night Radio, and AI Archaeology (digging up websites, software, or memes from 1990-2010). Anyone can claim one; working or not, it gets shipped. It suits developers who enjoy prototyping small experiments on a whim, and curious tinkerers looking for a browser toy to fill an idle afternoon. MIT licensed — fork it, tweak it, play with it.
