Hey man, glad you're enjoying the game! Actually, that's how it works now. Are you sure you haven't skipped a day? That would indeed break the streak. Cheers.

What other labels would you suggest?

guys, I added OPTIONAL google login, so you can play on many devices without losing streak & stats.
Wanna migrate current streak & stats to you google account? -> just go to the desired device and sign-in there. -> local progress will be migrated to your new account.
This only happens on first login.

glad to hear you find UI easy to use -> that is my main goal. btw, were the images working? cause i just found out they were not working for a couple of hours, already fixed it :D

yeah, i'll probably adjust the prompt for image generation to make them look more hand-drawn, visible brush strokes. i tried to express this in my current prompt, but gemini kinda slipped into this AI style too much xd
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @01:33PM (#47878694)
yeah, got your point. i still find the style of my generated images pretty nice and consistent.

tbh I didn’t want to hide the gemini watermark at all, i’m just processing images (size, optimization) using CC, and for some reason it decided to blur them - and did a pretty shitty job at it, haha

yeah, that drag & dropping event into timeline one by one definitely has something to it, I was also considering this concept
it’t just about which style and mechanics people wanna do more

fair point, my images are not meant to be realistic anyway, I actually prefer this semi-realistic, high-contrast, rich in color style - that's why I generate them having that specific style. anyways, isn't it great that there are different takes on the concept so everyone can pick what fits them best? :)

thanks for suggestion, definitely gonna implement something like that soon

got you man, had this problem with wordle too, but there's something nice about being only able to play it once a day. daily ritual while drinking your morning coffee and then sharing it with ur family/friend of course :D :D
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @10:04AM (#47875904)
yeah, you're not the first mentioning this. I was just so proud of that name + animation combo I had to make sure it's visible all the time xdd but yeah, will consider dropping it / adjusting intensity

AI - I created a custom prompt to generate those event, so that the difficulty is just right, not that easy, but not that hard also. Took some iterations to polish it, now it kinda feels just right.
Same with the image generation - custom prompt so they have this specific style.

There is no timer implemented as far as i know :D , it shouldn't be the case :D
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...

very good question. My take is that once the result becomes this easy to manipulate, like simply editing the result string, it kinda defeats the purpose of doing so :D . If anyone can do it then it kinda loses meaning and there’s not much point to doing so in the first place

i was HEAVILY inspired by wordle, wanted to create a daily game with similar mechanics. This concept came to my mind, but yeah, after it came to my mind i checked if something like that already exists and bumped into thing you just posted. UX seemed kinda complicated to my, my idea was to make it as simple as possible, drag & drop, so people can play it while commuting daily (tram, metro, bus), and will take like 2 minutes of their time.
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @08:56AM (#47875197)
yeah, i was considering it, but to be honest the only reason i decided to go with 6 event is to make it playable on mobile device with images big enough to see soemthing :D
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @08:52AM (#47875148)
That's actually not a bad idea, will definitely consider that.
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @08:45AM (#47875096)
Yeah basically, I'm very curious to see if people will actually find this wordle-like history game interesting and if they'll stick to it.
But i also often find myself just staring at some of those images and eventually finding more about some of those on the internet.
Re:Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chrono...
on Thursday April 23, 2026 @08:43AM (#47875070)
Agree. My goal wasn’t 100% accuracy so much as capturing the overall feel of the event, more like a collage that includes key people, features and atmosphere of that period.

I love those :D took me some time to come up with the custom prompt to make those images have that specific art style, but yeah, I understand that not everyone like s AI art
