Github Guesser - A Starry Game - 2 weeks of data

Hey devs!

In my last post, I promised that I will come back with some stats about my simple game: Github Guesser.
I wanted to wait until we reach 20k plays, but seems like the game is losing interest so I would rather not wait until that! (We are at 19k by the way)

All of the stats I am showing you here are from
7 Jun 2018 - 21 Jun 2018

I have posted about Github Guesser on 3 different platforms: Twitter, Reddit and dev.to. Github Guesser is also available on GitHub so that also drove some traffic to the site. I have one post on Reddit and about 11 tweets on Twitter and one tweet which mentions it by the creator of Preact: Jason Miller (@_developit ) (Thanks a lot!). Lastly, I have two posts about it on dev.to. (This will be the third)

It's a really simple game: You need to guess which GitHub repository has more stars, based on the given information! Just click / touch the one you think is more popular and in a moment you will know whether you won or lost!

You can find the game here: Github Guesser

Quite cool! Thanks for sharing this! But the stars doesn't look up to date?

Yes, I forgot to update the data for a while.
Just pushed an update. Also increased the repos from 100 to 200. :)

Hopefully I will have time soon to put together a backend.

Wowww, that's good and also is there a way to update stars automatically? so that the app doesn't show outdated stars.

That's the plan. I had no time to implement a server yet.
