Cleromancer is a modern web application built with TypeScript and Vite that digitizes the ancient Chinese divination process from the Book of Changes. Users simulate the traditional three-coin method to generate six-line hexagrams, rendered visually as full or broken lines, and receive interpretations using the Wilhelm translation—a seminal scholarly work—to provide authentic texts for both the primary hexagram and any secondary "changing line" hexagrams. The app dynamically displays elemental trigrams (Heaven, Earth, Fire, etc.), identifies the corresponding hexagram (1–64) with its classical name, and emphasizes accessibility to one of humanity’s oldest philosophical systems through a clean, responsive interface. Designed for enthusiasts of Eastern philosophy or algorithmic divination, it blends cultural preservation with modern web development practices.
