Sounds like a great way to aggregate a bunch of other people's startup ideas...

Looks interesting, world be nice to have a dockerized version for easy testing. Is that something you'd consider adding?

Wouldn't on screen controls of the three options at the bottom work.. ? At least on my phone there was a big empty space by the bottom.

Re-reading it, I guess I can see the AI bits... But at least the concept is novel.

It didn't scream AI generated to me.

Amazing post. I'm a enthusiastic bowler myself and in tech so this scratches both of those itches. These are the types of posts that keep me coming back to HN.

Best of luck and please post some images/videos of the prototypes in action.

Buggy as hell on Android. The cats in the "area" are definitely not real. I know the cats on my street... That defeats the whole purpose of the app if it's just random cats from around the world.

Also pretty clearly written by AI. The "can" recharge is a clear money grab. Poor execution all around.

Fun game, managed in just over 3 min. How are people taking so long...?

Looks like the leaderboard was hacked unfortunately. Fun little concept.

I got a flawless victory in a landslide with 0 hints but the result screen is a bit confusing. There are players that used hints that are to the "right" of where it shows me. Makes me feel like those people did better than me... But actually they did worse since they needed a hint or 4. Fun little game.

How do you curate the puzzle each day? Can you easily automate a bunch of puzzles then hand select them so back to back days aren't too similar? Or is it manual?

I'm American, 'one' and 'won' are pronounced the same. I'm trying figure out how they would be pronounced differently...

Thyme and Time are also the same for me (although I understand this one). I wonder where the other commenter is from.
