Hi HN! Looking for feedback on this 1v1 and daily word dueling game I've built over the last few months.

Play here: https://wordtrak.com/

Or on iOS here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wordtrak/id6760442363 (Android version soon!)

I don't know if it's my adblockers but your page loads an insanely large picture of your face and then people playing scrabble. Like I have to scroll two directions to see the whole picture large...

Oops - my son's face is large though! I'm not seeing it on my devices or Chrome/Safari...

Wonderful example of using AI thoughtfully as a creativity multiplier, rather than diluting the artistry of the end result. I love the human elements you scattered throughout the game: your children's initials in some of the navigation icons is an especially nice touch!

I love this.

I'm also building a simple game using Claude, so this is quite inspirational. Keep going!

I've built a simple word game with my kids recently. It's fun to add stuff quickly even if they are used only by the family. It has only 5 players now and they have their own group, the family, but open to anyone if interested.
