I LOVE when people geek out about the most simple mathematical things*, especially discovering the animation power of the trigonometric functions... or any of mathematics underlying modern interactive stuff. It's one thing to know what they do, it's another to understand the power of that tool.

Always love a fun quiz, but some of the example answers are just incorrect. Eg: `document.example('example')` to select a HTML button element. Others are to rigid to allow the true breadth of correct answers.
Ya'll might want to switch from V0 to claude code.

Please share other technical setups for keeping a link blog.
Static Site Generators seem like a perfect fit.
Simon's site runs on Django: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog, which is unsurprising as he is one of Django's co-creators.
But I agree with you, a great use case for a Next.js-esque static site.

Nice! My favorite challenge was avoiding the glowing white dots along the path.
I also went for 0% speedrun challenge.

Looks nice. Anybody else in this space? This one is on the pricier end but I’m just a single user so maybe not the target customer
AskUI could be a solution. It's also not just in browser, but the whole desktop: https://github.com/askui/vision-agent
I love this genre, and there is such a plethora of interesting reads. I think one of the most interesting, in terms of presenting technology's role in varied societies, is A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Great read if you are bored of the classic space opera.

In case you missed it, the current leader is `tRNA`: https://www.cellar-door.co.uk/leaderboard
Which, isn't even a word, but I enjoy the internet doing classic internet things.
Edit: It is now `no`. Amazing.
Amazing, history does repeat itself. One of the companies in my batch (S07) was iJigg (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/ijigg), which had the 2007's version of this interface: single upvote, player, and all. It did well and then petered out as many hyper-niche apps did at that time.
Best of luck with this version!
