DataGuessr – a daily quiz that teaches global statistics through play
I'm a journalist and product developer by day, and a curious generalist who loves making things whenever I find time. I've always loved building little web apps, even with my limited coding skills. As a student and early in my career, I had a lot of time, so it didn't matter. In recent years however, with life being busy as it is, most of my ideas stayed at the back of my mind. There simply wasn't enough time to compensate for my limited skills. Until I started working with Cursor, that is. All of a sudden, the time needed to turn an idea into a working prototype is once again within what…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
I'm a journalist and product developer by day, and a curious generalist who loves making things whenever I find time. I've always loved building little web apps, even with my limited coding skills. As a student and early in my career, I had a lot of time, so it didn't matter. In recent years however, with life being busy as it is, most of my ideas stayed at the back of my mind. There simply wasn't enough time to compensate for my limited skills. Until I started working with Cursor, that is. All of a sudden, the time needed to turn an idea into a working prototype is once again within what I'm able to carve out. That's how this project came to be. I'm a longtime admirer of the work Gapminder and Our World in Data are doing, and I wanted to build something that lets people explore the vast amounts of data about the world Our World in Data provides – in a playful way. Would love to hear what you think, what you'd improve, and what topics you'd like to see added next.

all alternatives →- GAGeneGuessr – a daily biology web puzzleDec 2025 · geneguessr.brinedew.bio · ▲88
I made a web game inspired by Geoguessr and Wordle, where you get shown a 3D model of a random human protein each day, and you have to triangulate its gene name using similarity clues. My background is in wet lab molecular biology and I intend this game to be engaging mostly to other biologists. But if you're outside the field, I'm interested to know if you can still solve it with browser use LLMs, and if you learned something interesting doing so. Let me know what you think. I made it with Claude over the last 2 months. My coding experience is limited to basic python data analysis and…

Hey my name is Crisa and this is my first post here on HN. I love this site and it inspired me to build a clone of it for my newsletter. Instead of having a boring landing page, I hope to gather articles, blogs, interesting projects on my own platform. I would appreciate any feedback, good or bad so that I can improve the site.

- SASophomore at UMich, built an app with my dadJan 2026 · workjourney.ai · ▲9
Over the past three months, I’ve been working with my dad on this app as a way to learn Cursor, shadcn/ui, and Next.js. I’m currently studying UX design at the University of Michigan, and I’ve been really impressed by how much vibe-coding tools have advanced over the last six months. This work journal includes private AI-generated insights with scheduled summaries that can be shared with your team or manager. You can also choose to make a summary public—like I’ve done here for my work on this web app: https://www.workjourney.ai/summary/mkblt2zt-hn2kdbus If anyone has…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
