Week 4 on DateHunt.co

11.2 daily players on avg
2.8 returning daily players on avg
61.4% avg guess correctly

Added theme days where all hints follow a topic, hoping it’d get more traction from specific communities(like r/soccer). It increased traffic, but not enough

I really enjoy adding these animations across datehunt.co - they make the game feel polished.

Tiny details but I do think they compound.

I haven’t done any marketing and I’m still not sure what’s the best way to approach it. I think TikTok is interesting but I don’t enjoy video creation :(

Recently read a blogpost from @NFX about the importance of communities in the new GTM playbook. This inspired me to create one for DateHunt leveraging Reddit: reddit.com/r/datehunt

Still in the process of fully fleshing it out but very excited if it works.

Interest has been falling a bit, not quite sure why. To avoid spamming, I’m thinking of changing these updates to be weekly.

This has been the hardest puzzle so far, only 47% got it right.

Weekends are always tough, we had our lowest total of players in quite some time. “Never get too high, never get too low” is the best way to look at it I guess :)

I did finish the copy animation but can’t seem to get it to work on mobile. Also haven’t done much mkt so it’s natural we have less total users but more returning users.

Day 9 on datehunt.co
25 players

Two ways forward:
- we make the game stickier
- we make more viral

I’m leaning towards the second one since we’ve got a pretty solid retention rate and a consistent pool of players, wdyt?

I’m a bit stuck tbh, but it’s exciting as well. It’s a hard problem to get more players and make them return but it’s fun solving hard problems :)

Day 7 update datehunt.co

Good: Our recurring user base keeps growing
Bad: The total amount of players is way too small

Will start doing @jackfriks approach to market on TikTok, but I’ve hated editing videos in the past.

Day 5 update datehunt.co:
16 players
7 returning from day 4
75% guessed correctly

Lowest total players since launch but highest number of returning users. It’s pretty good that we’re starting to build a consistent daily user base, but I’ll have to up mkt efforts.
Day 4 update datehunt.co:
36 players
4 returning
56% guessed correctly

I’m not sure if being a Saturday affected it, but we had a big drop. My main worry is fewer returning players, I’m thinking streaks might help stickiness.

My best user acquisition channel? r/soccer’s daily thread. It wasn’t planned but got an overwhelmingly positive response 🥳

Definitely have some work to do to make datehunt.co sticky

Can’t believe Claude code added basic analytics in one shot

One of the cool things I like doing when starting a new project is getting Discord notifications about key metrics.

Keeps me motivated to keep building datehunt.co and as soon as it gets annoying I change it to a more ambitious goal.

I've run into a problem: it's pretty hard to create good 3D models directly in ThreeJS and people mostly use Bender. Since we're vibe coding, does anyone know a good AI model to generate 3d models?

#buildinpublic
5/ Back on this, can now see projects as plants in a garden. Still have to do some work on the actual 3D models but they grow as you grow in MRR.

I also need to include the ability to walk through the garden to check out the plants
