Feeling like you need a quick pick-me-up or a guaranteed (cringe-worthy?) laugh? Check out this simple Dad Jokes Generator! It’s a straightforward web app designed purely for fun – fetching and displaying classic dad jokes to hopefully brighten your day, one groan at a time.

Beyond the chuckles, this project was also an exercise in creating clean, understandable code using just the basics: HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. It connects to the awesome icanhazdadjoke API to pull in a fresh joke with a simple click. The goal was to keep the implementation clear and accessible, demonstrating how much you can achieve with fundamental web technologies without relying on heavy frameworks.

It’s a perfect little example of fetching data asynchronously and updating the DOM – core concepts made easy to grasp.

Feel free to explore the code yourself over on the GitHub repository. Give the live app a try, have a laugh, and maybe even peek under the hood!
