Daily challenge with a shareable result #15

Open gereleth opened 2 years ago

gereleth commented 2 years ago

I made a stab at creating a daily puzzle page, it should be live now.

Looking for feedback now regarding everything:

how's puzzle size / difficulty?
any bugs?
how can we make share text more interesting? A masked solution like in wordle doesn't quite work with this puzzle type. At least I can't think of what to show.

@aleda145 @sabas tagging you because you reacted to this issue =).

My daily!

If you look at figure.game they have a global stats comparison which is quite cool. But would need some backend and sending requests, so not sure if thats feasable.

Nice, thanks for trying. 3-5 minutes seems like a reasonable time to do a daily).

I'm not collecting any solves data currently, it's all very private). So it's true that I can't provide global stats.

Tomorrow's puzzle is pretty unusual :wink:.

Hey Daria,

the daily challenge looks super great so far; Perhaps on top of 'Solved in x minutes', solved in x clicks would be another great metric?

Like wordle, i assume you could keep some stats in session data too?

ability to share the actual puzzles via an ID would be nice. Same for any other puzzles that aren't in the "custom" tab
