Show HN: I made a meta-dashboard to track my key metrics without wasting time

Sun, 05/04/2025 - 10:20am

I started working on my ideas a few months ago. I've shipped 4 apps so far. I love my numbers, so every morning I'd go through the payments dashboard, analytics, bug reports, feature requests, and everything else for each app.

I wished for a single place to view it all, so I built Motherboard. It runs locally in the browser and tracks any visible data point from any website with just a click. A single dashboard for everything. Life's good.

Show HN: I built Gridagram, a daily word puzzle, for my word-game-nerd wife

Sun, 05/04/2025 - 10:18am

Hi HN - I'm excited (and a bit nervous!) to share a game I built called Gridagram.

My wife is a huge word game nerd (Wordle, Spelling Bee, you name it!), and I wanted to create something fun for us to play daily that combined a couple of mechanics we enjoy: finding words in a grid and solving anagrams. It started as a personal project but evolved into something I thought others might enjoy too.

You're presented with a 4x4 grid of letters. Find words by connecting adjacent letters (like Boggle).

Finding words scores points and contributes to revealing letters in a hidden "Mystery Word" (an anagram of 8-10 letters).

The more words you find, and the faster you find them (streaks!), the more points you get. Longer words give bonus points.

Score milestones help reveal and eventually order the Mystery Word letters.

Once you think you know the Mystery Word, you can try to solve it for a final bonus score.

There's a new puzzle generated each day.

I built this using React, TypeScript, Vite for the frontend, and Firebase Hosting for deployment. The grid generation and dictionary logic are handled client-side.

This is still very much a work in progress, and I'd absolutely love to hear any feedback you have – gameplay balance, UI suggestions, bugs, anything!

You can play it here: https://playgridagram.com/
