Definitely need an iOS version! An angle version on a circle would be nice too.

What does native give you that this doesn't?

Several megabytes downloaded instead of (checks dev tools) 5.1 KB.

I am amazed how such a simple app gets that much attention , whereas probably it is vibe coded in an hour using Claude or any other AI tool .

I think first prompt to deploy was I have so many other projects that have taken days and in my eyes are way "better" but get zero attention.

It's a bit of a cheat, but you can hit 0.00% every time. Just measure the bar length, then cross-multiply. :)

Example: bar is 1250px, max is 2100, number is 376 → (1250 × 376) / 2100 ≈ 223.8px from the start, that's the 0.00%.

I thought this was a random guessing game and kept randomly clicking and felt very frustrated. Once I realized how it works with the two numbers, estimating felt a lot more rewarding.
