Show HN: Built a daily game where you sort historical events chronologically

Noodling kind of question, Share results / copy to Clipboard both seem to put the same string in the local clipboard:

Hisorty #9 1/3 https://hisorty.app

This, as well as the NYT game, is heavily inspired by https://www.timdle.com ?

NYT has a weekly version of this for those interested

Neat! I think with more events (~9) and obscure ones it would be more fun. I also think it would be fun to make it possible to play previous days. Bookmarked.

Very fun. Would you consider putting years on the timeline to match the events up to? I think from an education perspective it would be a great feature! Nice Work!

Nice work! I'd consider ditching the AI art though, it was distracting.

Nice, I enjoyed it. Fyi I think you should edit the title to be "Show HN: <title>". This will mean it will be on the /show (https://news.ycombinator.com/show) page.

How accurate are these pictures? I feel like I see ideas like this on HN pretty often and the art always gets things wrong. Like all the same clean armor during the first crusade seems doubtful and two swords on horseback just seems wacky. Two swords like that is dumb normally but also how do you control the horse lmao

I like it! A quality old school learning game, like we had in the 90s

I’m also a huge history guy so anything that helps people understand history better is great

Was the goal just to make this for yourself and see how it goes?
