Daily taxonomy puzzle: place a species in the tree of life, one branch at a time, against the clock.
Why: I wanted to try out agentic coding (a bit late to the party I know). A friend gifted me a week of Claude, and this is what I got in 3 afternoons of full vibe-coding. I've had the idea for this game for a while (I'm a philosopher of biology), and this was a good toy project for it. I'd never vibe-code like this in a serious project, but wanted to see how far I could get / how good frontier models were, and I'm honestly impressed. I have mixed feelings about the whole experience, but I could have never done this so fast without it.
Stack: It's made with Svelte 5 and CF workers & D1. I've worked with both in the past and knew it's good for a little (free to host) side project like this.
Feedback welcome, especially on whether the 10 seconds feels right (I wanted to avoid people googling the categories while playing).
