Hey, if any hackers out there have feedback (or even found bugs), let me know!

Scrollbars are typically hidden by default on MacOS. I saw source code that looked like it had to be some MongoDB repo, but only saw the first four options. I was confused for a bit. It also wasn't clear that left/right arrows let you view other parts of the code. I thought it would skip to the next question.

Some of the choices may be too similar. I answered one question with "TensorFlow", which was wrong. The answer was Bert, a set of models for TensorFlow.

  Yes, that's a difficult problem. I'll review the data.

  Ditto. Guessed Docker but it was Moby.

When hovering over an item that item is highlighted in pale lavender for only a moment before the highlight moves to the first entry.

One of my quizzes included the copyright header for swift which was a giveaway, another was simply a pair of closing brackets and no other text at all, making it impossible. Overall the other ones that worked when it did work were fun though.

  Oh, such cases can ruin the fun of the game. It's best to remove them as much as possible. Thanks for letting me know!

    maybe gradual hints should be shown as the counter gets closer to zero? Hint: Language is Javascript Hint: Owner is "Facebook" Hint: Other languages used in the repo include HTML 2.8% CSS 1.5% C++ 1.0% TypeScript 0.5% CoffeeScript 0.4% Other 0.2%

      Thanks! Indeed, giving hints is a good idea. For now, I've made a change to provide hints based on the language and logo. I guess if the owner is revealed, it might become too easy due to the auto-complete UI.

        right..the autocomplete UI itself could be a hint.. i was thinking it could be like hangman style.. _ _ A C T

    Also please colorize the source code and use Fira code or something snazzy :)

Honestly way too hard for me to be enjoyable. I really love the peak at the code concept, but I'm unfamiliar with most/all of the projects listed.. I would love a simplified version with less choice..

  Thank you for giving it a try! You're right, I might have chosen repositories that I'm familiar with. Themes like Simple version, Web development or Pythonista could be a good idea.
