TL;DR

Guess a number a day, see how the rest of Reddit guessed. Dropped after a month of platform errors.

One day's post, as planned.

The plan
A question a day from C-3P1, a histogram of everyone's guesses after. Built for Reddit's Developer Funds, which pays per daily active user.
What broke
Post creation. A ValidationError that printed memory addresses instead of field names, three sessions in a row.
Stack
TypeScript, React and Redis on Devvit, Reddit's app platform. Got as far as UI prototypes, the data model and the prompts, about 2.5 hours in all.

February to March 2026.
