That and the paragraph above:

> What makes this powerful is that these aren’t just type definitions - they’re live, reactive objects that sync automatically.

Is what twigged my AI radar too. LLM’s seem to really love that summarisation pattern of `{X is/isn’t just Y. Pithy concluding remark}`

Fair enough, I thought what I'd originally written for that section was too wordy, so I asked Claude to rewrite it. I'll go a bit lighter on the AI editing next time. Here's most of the original with the code examples omitted:

Watching Tuomas' initial talk about Linear's realtime sync, one of the most appealing aspects of their design was the reactive object graph they developed. They've essentially made it possible for frontend development to be done as if it's just operating on local state, reading/writing objects in an almost Active Record style.

The reason this is appealing is that when prototyping a new system, you typically need to write an API route or rpc operation for every new interaction your UI performs. The flow often looks like: - Think of the API operation you want to call - Implement that handler/controller/whatever based on your architecture/framework - Design the request/response objects and share them between the backend/frontend code - Potentially, write the database migration that will unlock this new feature

Jazz has the same benefits of the sync + observable object graph. Write a schema in the client code, run the Jazz sync server or use Jazz Cloud, then just work with what feel like plane js objects.

It looks like I was missing a www subdomain CNAME for the underlying github pages site. I think it's fixed now.

An ad for what? I'm not associated with any of the projects mentioned.

The game is cool, but I don't really like waiting a day to play again.

And I also think it needs levels of difficulty, or if you want a unique online mode where you can guess words with different players and the first one to guess wins (but it's not easy to do).

Overall, the game is cool, good luck with the development!

Thanks for the feedback, I like the idea of the multiplayer mode

Great job

I enjoyed this and sent it to two non tech friends. First time in forever that I’ve seen something from hacker news to a none techie.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I hope your friends have a good time too

This is great, I've been wanting to do something like this after finding an old series about making games in the terminal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW8skO7MFYw). I'll need to checkout bevy now.
