Show HN: FactBomb – A fast daily trivia game with zero friction

https://www.factbomb.com/
1•simonakis•6mo ago
Hi HN,

I made FactBomb, a minimalist daily trivia game. Currently, it has 2 daily modes: - A casual mode with 15 questions identical for all users for the day, so you can compete asynchronously against your friends. - A competitive mode (also 15 questions in total) where strategy, luck, and knowledge all play a role in getting a high score and adding your name to the daily leaderboard.

Both pull from a pool of over 5000 questions across 17 categories.

You can play instantly - no sign-up or login required.

I had no coding experience prior to that. I built Factbomb using AI - it does a surprisingly good job at teaching coding and helping with code. My budget was 24 USD for a ChatGPT subscription, 6 USD for some API tokens, and 12 USD for the domain.

The question database is also created using AI, but with a lot of editing, deduping, and manual rewriting.

I wanted a no-distraction quiz experience with a daily challenge mechanic. It's built using React.js. It tracks your score and streak locally and has a leaderboard (simple Firebase) for competitive mode. I have several ideas for the future, but I want to see how the game fares at the moment. It's already a complete product, but in no way finished.

Would love feedback, bug reports, or trivia lovers who want to submit new questions!
