OT: a free physics dice roller for when the cup is missing

What do you do when you sit down at a board and one die has gone missing, or a friend wants a casual game over video call and only one of you has a set?
I made a small free dice roller for the browser that covers that. The two dice are thrown with real physics, so they tumble and bounce off each other before landing; the result isn't chosen first and then animated. Both values are shown clearly once they stop, doubles get a small flourish, and after a roll you can share it as a link or an image if the other side wants to see it. You can tap, swipe across the table, or shake a phone to throw. No signup, no install, and it works offline after the first visit.

It's obviously no substitute for real precision dice in a match, just a stand-in for casual games. I'd be curious whether anyone here still plays friendly games over a call, and how you handle the rolling.
