Just a joke

A just-for-fun Figma widget that drops a random joke onto the canvas, built to learn the plugin API by making something with no real stakes.

  • Figma Widget API
  • JavaScript
  • Joke API
Four joke widget cards on the canvas, each showing a different random joke and a Give me a joke button

Why I built it

This came out of the same stretch of learning the Figma widget API as the checklist. During a project you sometimes just need a quick break to reset, and sharing a laugh felt like a good excuse to build something purely fun instead of purely useful.

How it works

The widget is connected to a joke API: one click on "Give me a joke" fetches a new random joke and swaps it in on the canvas. No settings, no state to manage, just a button and a punchline.
