Made a Jev-based daily guessing game that's like a crossover between Wavelength and Family Feud (or Family Fortunes if you're from the UK or Ireland).

It's called Vaguely Right (https://vaguelyright.com).

Each round the you get a spectrum and a target on that spectrum, (e.g. Calm ----X-- Stressful). You then have to name something that Jev will place on that target on the spectrum (a job interview, a walk in the park, a pelican riding a unicycle?). The closer you are, the higher your score.

I actually posted about it on Show HN earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50071000

thanks! it took some iteration and effort to make the game (and the set of spectra+questions) feel good. For example, my first version had it the other way around, where you're given the clue and you just have to guess where Jev places it on the spectrum. It felt much more "artificial" somehow.

Name something that sits at the target: a job interview, a walk in the park, a goose?The closer you are, the higher your score.Mechanically it's like a crossover between Wavelength and Family Feud. The model is prompted to place the submitted clue as most people would see it, so you are aiming for the consensus reading...
