Show HN: Witness Archives – A daily history puzzle built with React Native Web

Hello HN,

I built a daily deduction game for history nerds called Witness Archives.

The Concept: It’s similar to Wordle or Redacted. You get 5 clues (diary entries, telegrams, confidential files) and have to deduce the specific historical event. You start with 5 "lives" and lose one for every wrong guess.

The Tech Stack:

Frontend: React Native + Expo (running on react-native-web).

Hosting: Netlify (static export).

Backend: None. I used a static JSON list for the daily cases and localStorage to track streaks/stats on the client side.

I built this because I wanted a quick daily puzzle that wasn't covered in ads or tracking scripts. It’s a PWA, so it should feel "native" on mobile if you add it to the home screen.

I’d love feedback on the React Native Web performance—specifically if the scrolling feels too webby or native to you.

Thanks for checking it out.
