Show HN: Graphs – A daily puzzle game to guess data sets (graphs.world)

Hi everyone. I'm making Graphs as a love letter to the crossword, Wordle, Connections, and other "educational" daily games. I started building it a week or two ago and have some more ideas on the roadmap, but I'd love to share it today to see what people think.

Every day, you are given a nameless graph and 3 options to select the right data set it is representing. It's super simple - check out today's chart and you should be able to get the gist quickly.

My email + # is on the page. Would love feedback on the game as well as ideas for future graphs and/or data sets to look into! It's been a balancing act between finding a data set that is quality and public, not too niche, and visually interesting.

Winning streaks and/or archive coming soon! Don't hesitate to reach out ~Ari https://www.graphs.world



Disclaimer as a friend of the author - but this is slick looking! I also like how I don't need to pay the New York Times to access Graphs.

I enjoy the basic feature a lot but I'd love to see a secondary challenge of identifying what precipitated the highest spike or drop if you get the first answer right. I think this would challenge the user in a different way - OK you can spot this trend - but how much do you really know it?

I think you could use a moving average and standard deviation to accomplish this in code - numpy has some native methods.

Great execution, keep it up!
