You’re right. I wasn’t aware of word-in-one and it’s a similar idea. The closest I’ve seen to my game in fact. ( when I had the idea for it I wondered if anyone else had had the sa…

I’ve made it so it only shows the share button if the browser supports native sharing (navigator.share) - wordle just copies it to the clipboard on other browsers, which I found a …

There seems a weird caching issue that I think I’ve fixed. Can you try again?

Thanks - it is behind cloudflare, and there does seem to be the odd caching issue where there is a mismatch between the files. I'll look further into it.

Thanks for the kind comment. The dark mode is on the dev plan, I just didn’t have it ready for launch.

Yes - it probably is a bit harder than Wordle. I think this is for people who like Wordle, but find it a bit too easy.

Thanks - I will check that out

Ever since I became aware of Wordle (and its success) I’ve wanted to make my own daily word game. This is unashamedly inspired by Wordle, but unlike most Wordle derivatives it’s fu…

I'm guessing this only affected Android devices? But did those devices have the "Allow apps from unknown sources" option checked? I feel like there's some pretty pertinent technica…

> That one definitely sounds true to me, the complexity of modern software definitely makes it harder to be competitive with big shops. I disagree. If you want to make a competitiv…

I've used slim too. I have the same opinion of it as Haml.

Agreed! If I need to debug it in chrome inspector (or similar) I don't like to have to think in terms of the abstraction I'm using to get the result I want. Web development is comp…

I know I'm very likely to be in a minority here, but I hate both Haml and Markdown. I much prefer HTML and erb.

You say 'only millions records'. Even if you had 2^36 records (that's over 68 billion) the chances of a collision should be 0.0000000000000004 That really is vanishingly small. So,…

That is likely due to a fault in the UUID generator, rather than the concept of using UUIDs. http://www.h2database.com/html/advanced.html#uuid

Do you worry about the irrational fear that one day all the oxygen molecules in the room will gather in an upper corner, and you'll suffocate?
