The leaderboard is fascinating. Some people are clearly putting a lot of time into this, while the rest of us are trying to sneak phallic shapes past your CNN.

- herval 1y agoyou can also upvote your favorite however many times you want!
- davidcollantes 1y agoI could dedicate a month, or a year, and never come up with something like those. Are they really using the site tool, or is there a trick to draw them elsewhere and import them? Those are truly amazing!
- lelandfe 1y agoIf you have a tablet and some artistic background, these are all definitely doable. Doing those with a mouse would be a lot harder.
- mikepurvis 1y agoIt would be hilarious if that guy vibe coded a thing that’s just repeatedly googling images of real fish and then slavishly drawing them into the site.
- thisOtterBeGood 1y agoPretty sure you can build a "robot" that just copies from an image source.
- alphazard 1y agoAre people actually drawing these in the browser, or is there some extension that lets you populate a canvas with something you did with a stylus in Photoshop?
- fckgw 1y agoYou could also just load up the website on an iPad with an Apple Pen.
- mh- 1y agoUnfortunately, that did not improve my drawing skills over using the trackpad. At all. :(
- creata 1y agoconst input = document.createElement("input"); document.body.append(input); input.type = "file"; input.accept = "image/*"; input.onchange = e => { if (input.files && input.files[0]) { const canvas = document.getElementById("draw-canvas"); const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); createImageBitmap(input.files[0]).then(img => ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0)); } };
- yieldcrv 1y agoI’m browsing hn on my iphone, clicked this link, drew a fish with my finger, and saw it Worked out the box didn't think twice of it Good point though as the site doesnt follow responsive design patterns
- tamimio 1y agoI drew it with the mouse, doable bit you can use your ipad
- cortesoft 1y agoI am literally trying my best to draw a fish only to be told it is only 30% likely to be a fish. Cruel.
- GaggiX 1y agoDid it face the right way?
- mikepurvis 1y agoAlso make sure you’re filling up the canvas — don’t draw something too small.
- theginger 1y agoThat makes me feel better about my fish, I thought it was among the worst, but good to know it atleast qualified.
- kristopolous 1y agoGot a potted flower through. It's swimming nicely https://drawafish.com/tank.html?capacity=55&sort=popular https://drawafish.com/tank.html?capacity=55&sort=popular also don't sleep on that one
- kayge 1y agoMy hot dog with a smiley face got a 64%, I'm sorry. Semi relevant Silicon Valley clip (maybe nsfw, language) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACmydtFDTGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACmydtFDTGs
- rightbyte 1y agoLooking at those I feel my fish was totally inadequate. The first one didn't even pass the autofilter since it had a stick figure face ... Really nice toy!
- bbor 1y agoOk there's some sort of bot war going on with the leaderboard, right? The Palestine fish has 370,000 votes total (both up & down), which seems like a lot. Does HN really drive that kind of traffic??
- rightbyte 1y agoWell you can click thumbs how many times you want so ...
- gus_massa 1y agoThe rule of thumb is 100*upvotes+50, so with the current 600 points, it's like 60.000 visits. Don't take that estimation too seriously, it's only a not so bad initial estimation.

- LordDragonfang 1y agoOP really needs to read "How not to sort by average rating" https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating...

- ionwake 1y agoI was extremely happy with my 60% Wang fish. And now after looking at the leaderboard I feel bad.
- raisedbyninjas 1y agoI drew a real triumphant one that edged over the 60% threshold. Then read that the mod queue was at 63% and had to do it all over again.
- johnisgood 1y agoThe major problem is that I could up-vote and down-vote as many times as I want. It is rate-limited, however[1]. I know, because I wrote a script. :D Seems like someone else did, too, except to down-vote. Please fix it. Edit: these down-votes are going down by the 100s or so, someone is really bullish to have "RiverToSea" fish down-voted. Ironically, the "RiverToSea" fish was made by someone who named himself "f**k palestine". [1] After refresh, you can continue voting till you reach the limit, which is problematic.
- needleballista 1y agoI've always thought it was MORE democratic that if you really like a fish you should be able to upvote it more than if you just kind of like it
- johnisgood 1y agoYou may potentially be able to learn a lot from being able to successfully fight against people doing automated voting ad infinitum. :D
- michaelcampbell 1y agospazzchainsaw has a talent.
- neurostimulant 1y agoNow I understand why it rates my doodle as 7.5% fish probability.
