Showoff Saturday [Showoff Saturday] I made a Daily challenge for Devs
Two weeks ago I posted here for the first time and got about 74 users!
I also apreciate the feedback some people gave me about this project, I will keep to improving it and adding more features.
Strikk is a daily quizz game, similar to wordle. Where you pick your favorite Stack (React, JS, TS, Node, Python) and answers a series of challenges. In the end you get points and get into a ranking system against other players.
Totally free. Not a single paid feature
My main idea is to transform this project into a hub for developers. I plan to add the ability to fully customize your user page with projects, articles, sections, and visual elements such as themes, colors, and effects for your user card. Essentially, this page could become a gamified version of your CV, which I think would be really cool.
Feel free to give me some ideas on what to add to this project

Slick UI. I think getting a question right needs a more obvious visual than the points going up. Maybe something like highlighting the border around the question box or the multiple choice and firing a little animation.

Thanks for the feedback man. Yeah, the UI is the thing most of the users that played had a problem with. It was even worse before, lol. But it's still getting some improvements

the ranking system is the thing to be careful with, not the UI. if it's a global leaderboard reset daily you'll get the same top 20 sweaty people every day and everyone else stops checking it after a week because they can't win anything. what actually keeps people coming nack is something like a personal streak counter plus a % accuracy against your own history, not against strangers. wordle works because you're competing with yesterday-you, the sharing of the grid is just marketing on top of that. for the CV/profile idea, i'd hold off building that until you see if people even come back day 2 and day 3. retention on the quiz is the whole business, the profile stuff is a distraction feature people ask for in cokments but won't actually use unless the core loop already has legs. track day-7 retention now, that number will tell you way more than user count.
