It's an interesting site, but why do so many of these guessing games have single page applications without state in the URL?
https://guessthe.game/ https://guessthe.game/ functions the same way - please include the day in the URL so that if I want to go back through your backlog (or show someone something from your backlog) it's easy.
If I snoop the traffic and watch the redirects I sometimes can:
https://guessthe.game/?fpg=110 https://guessthe.game/?fpg=110
But this site makes it even more obnoxious:
https://pudding.cool/games/where/?uuid=i135v&rs=x0hdn&upc=9a1u2 https://pudding.cool/games/where/?uuid=i135v&rs=x0hdn&upc=9a...
Really? UUID? (side note: that's not a UUID)
- choward 3y agoWhat's adds to that annoyance is that the only way to navigate the games is a "prev" link. There's no way to jump directly to a game or go to the next game. This means every day it becomes more time consuming to get to the first game. And if you accidentally refresh the page, have fun!
- nop_slide 3y agoI made a skateboarding video version and ensured it was URL driven via a date query param. You can also view all the previous games easily. URL driven-ness is such a great ux feature I also get annoyed when sites don’t use it. https://skateboardle.com https://skateboardle.com
- jorisboris 3y agonoob question, but which frameworks would you recommend to use instead? I'm using React because it's easy to re-use components. Which alternatives are there for that?
- Arainach 3y agoI would expect all frameworks to have support for URL parameters. For React I've used react-router for this: https://ui.dev/react-router-url-parameters https://ui.dev/react-router-url-parameters
