    I like the idea and I would play it, but the system of coming up with questions and then having to answer them in order to narrow down the options is unintuitive. Can I see a pictu…

    Thank you so much for noticing. I didn't even know there was a difference between Orthodox/Catholic and Protestant canons until a week after the site was live. I spent a decent amo…

    Thank you! I've noticed that a lot of other well-loved "daily" puzzle games are more elegant in terms of game design (Wordle, Bandle, LoLdle are some of my favorites) so I'm a bit …

    Show HN: A Daily Bible Game

    I created a daily game where you get a random Bible verse and try to identify the book (e.g. "Psalms", "Genesis", "Luke") in as few guesses as possible. I have absolutely no clue h…

    I'm working on a text-based softball league simulator where you forcibly enlist your friends and family to join your co-ed softball team. You play as their manager/coach/fellow pla…

    I'm working on a parody of the lofi hip-hop radio YouTube streams, but for Byzantine music (chanting) of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The end goal is a community-focused study/pray…
