Introducing Dailies - our daily game platform that lives in your texts and on the web (soon, iOS + Android too).

We think of it like Instinct for games. You can play and play create games like Wordle and Landmarkr with your friends & family, and everyone's synced up in an iMessage group.

It's essentially micro gaming - small scale games, on a massive scale, with agents directing traffic.

The team and I make Landmarkr (https://landmarkr.app), which is a daily geography game, and we've learned a lot about why people love daily games, what makes them come back every day, and the lack of a clear, unified hub to 1) play, 2) log scores, 3) compete/compare with peers.

Dailies is invite-only for now - we're working on scaling up its capabilities over the next 1-2 weeks. If you come from HN, we'll get you off the waitlist ASAP!

Does it automatically pull your result from e.g. Wordle right after you finish? How does that work? Or do you have to paste your result into a chat for it to understand it?

Btw small detail not a huge deal but every time I reload /games with f5 there's a noticeable layout shift where the header/search bar is missing and the game tiles are really large for a second.

On mobile - your scores from Wordle, etc. auto-log from an app we're rolling out this week and next. It's much more convenient imo.

On desktop - we're working on a browser extension that can do that. For now, still paste them in anywhere on the page, or send in texts.

Either way, syncs everything with your group and notifies them automatically.

Re frontend: good catch! Will patch this.
