There should be a 'share your score' button revealed when you finish just like those games (I copied them) :)

I'm going to add this to my backlog, definitely a great suggestion. Even when testing I would just mash answers

I credit wordle and framed.wtf in the about section. This formatting of games has exploded in the last couple years, it really is a great way to get people returning each day

oh my! well spotted haha. Thank you

ah good callout, ill add it to the list

I did not know IMDB offered this, thank you!

That's a fair take. I can't overstate Stack Overflow has been in the past, I think I often had that experience that it usually caters to common but specific scenarios, or I'm just impatient and lurk instead of asking a question and waiting for a response. Interesting I could paste Stack overflow discussions into ChatGPT to ask if this insight is related to my issue and it was usually open to relating the new info and helping me

I found this to be the case as well. My out productivity declined as the project became more unwieldy. I wasn't using ES6 so would very much like to modularize things and use imports/exports next time. "Working code is working code" but I'd dread the idea of someone collaborating on top of my spaghetti. Lot of lessons learned in that respect. Having to reset ChatGPT's understanding of the latest code was tiresome.

ChatGPT actually suggested firebase for some very basic JSON event logging output I wanted to produce but I'm just realising AWS has something called amplify?

JavaScript has a reputation for being quirky but I'm assuming it has come a long way in the last 10 years (or maybe not) but very quickly I became comfortable with it in an obviously limited way. Next project I'd be more interested in a framework but I'm glad I cut my teeth trying to understand the basics first

Thanks for this! I'm gonna check this out

I hadn't considered that at all. Will address!

Ok that's shooting right up the list! Back and forward arrows to allow you to hammer through the back catalogue

I considered this, but given the way the clues are revealed i think I had to commit to a single answer per needledrop. I mentioned in the 'how to play' disclaimer the subjective nature of the curated list: We’ve selected what we believe to be the first or most iconic instance of each Needle Drop.

Doesn't make it any less frustrating when it doesn't accept a technically correct answer though.

I originally had the default 'pause' functionality up until yesterday but a lot of friends had given the feedback that it can exploited and that a running clock adds to the gametime pressure.

I don't really know. I posted this link in the r/webdev subreddit and there was some pushback that this isn't code that is fit to charge clients for and that it shouldn't be trusted for serious engineering. The point was completely missed- I think an AI agent can supplement your understanding if the documentation is usually targeted at professionals. It's also perhaps a more engaging medium for some learners.
