We made a simple daily Fact or Fiction game
The story For people based in Edinburgh (Scotland), you may know Codebase, the legendary co-working space and tech incubator. Few years ago, when the local coffee shop was called Elm cafe and run by Ally, her coffee machine would have a new fun fact written on it every day. All one had to do was to guess, is the statement Fact or Fiction? And Ally, also a great storyteller would reveal to you, whether you are in luck today.

What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
The story For people based in Edinburgh (Scotland), you may know Codebase, the legendary co-working space and tech incubator. Few years ago, when the local coffee shop was called Elm cafe and run by Ally, her coffee machine would have a new fun fact written on it every day. All one had to do was to guess, is the statement Fact or Fiction? And Ally, also a great storyteller would reveal to you, whether you are in luck today. Some people (me) liked the joy of learning something new every day so much, that we decided to take it online. It was around that time when Wordle became a thing, so we thought why not, wouldn’t it be nice to have a place on the Internet which would provide a daily fact or fiction? Yes! We teamed up with Ally and made this little online project called DailyFoF, we got pretty far, however life came in a way, we all got busy and we never launched the project publicly. It got abandoned. The months went by and David, who’s the Codebase's very own head quizmaster, stepped up and took on the content creator's hat. And so it all came the full circle and we’d like to invite you to dailyfactorfiction.com Give it a go, learn something new and have fun! If you have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or found anything that does not look or feel right, please share it with us and we’ll iterate on making it better every day.

- TDThe Dictionary Game (Fictionary/Balderdash) as a Daily PuzzleJun 2026 · dictionarypuzzle.com · ▲5
I love the dictionary game: someone takes an unfamiliar word from the dictionary and writes down the definition. Then the other players come up with their own, fake, definition, and guess which one is real. I built a Wordle-style daily game out of this concept. You get shown a word and four definitions and it's up to you to figure out which one is real. There are five new words to try every day. The real definitions are from Wiktionary, the fake ones are made up by Claude (and sometimes me). Let me know what you think, and how this could be improved!
- TATweedle – A Wordle game for profiles and tweets on Twitter2022 · tweedle.app · ▲6
Hey everyone! I wanted to share a game that myself and a couple other colleagues hacked up called Tweedle. We wanted to try something different in the genre of wordle clones, so we decided to build a game that algorithmically generates daily wordle puzzles for any person/profile on Twitter. The idea is that you can play someone’s tweets, guessing a word inside the tweet using wordle style gameplay. If you have an active Twitter profile, the game will generate a puzzle for your profile; this enables anyone on Twitter to have their own wordle game! Here is a game for a popular hacker news…

- MWMy weekend project, Hacker's Coffee2013 · ▲17
Primary link: http://hackerscoffee.org I thought Coder’s Coffee (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4010355) was a great idea but disagreed with a few aspects of its execution (registration solely via linkedin, iOS app only, manual approval process, brittle: crashed every time I used it on my phone). I noticed the app had stopped working entirely last week, and went to the site (http://www.coderscoffee.com) to discover that the project seems to be no more. I re-implemented the concept, minus my grievances, in about 20 free hours I had last week (and also took the opportunity to make a…
