       Show HN: Graphs, a daily data visualization puzzle
        
       Hi everyone! Graphs is the intersection of data visualization and
       the daily web puzzle genre (Wordle, NYT Mini Crossword,
       Connections, etc.).  Every day, you are given a nameless graph and
       5 options to select the right dataset it is representing. Upon
       winning, you can access the underlying dataset and other info +
       maintain a streak and stats. It's super simple - check out today's
       chart and you should be able to get the gist quickly.  My email +
       twitter account (@graphsgame) is on the page, would love a feedback
       or a follow.  Don't hesitate to reach out!

       | I enjoy this so far. If you had a way to indicate Number of tries
       | in the calendar result (I understand color alone is difficult
       | with Red/Green colorblindness, but, something like the
       | following):
       | 
       | Green = 1st try Yellow = 2nd Try Orange = 3rd Try Red = Fail
       | 
       | That would be pretty cool to see.
       | 
       | Or maybe a superscript by the date (though if you're using some
       | pre-made component that could be harder to implement, but
       | something like that might help colorblind users over my color-
       | only approach). Or you could use a "number of dots system" (but
       | again maybe not easy if a component).
       | 
       | Anyways, this is really cool, thanks for making it!

         | This is a great idea and in the backend it tracks how many
         | tries it took to win, so the data is there. Also, NYT
         | crosswords does this similarly where you can see on the
         | calendar how far into each puzzle you got visually.
         | 
         | Let me take a stab at this...I'll let you know when it's been
         | updated.
         | 
         | Appreciate the feedback, really good insight!
