In this Wordle variant, you play against an opponent where your first guess is their target word and their first guess is your target word. Which means you may not want to use a starting word that covers the most common letters since it’ll also make it easier for your opponent to guess. If you win or tie against your opponent, you start a streak where that same first guess will be used the next day. See how long you can keep your streak!

Open to questions, suggestions, edge cases, or cursed 5-letter words to test. Enjoy!

Recently, Google has been clamping down on preventing various techniques for browser automation tools like selenium, playwright, and puppeteer to log into Google. This has prevented legitimate usecases like automated testing for webapps that depend on Google Oauth.

We're building a more foolproof way to login to Google through automation to help with customers of our other testing service Treespec (https://treespec.com) to test their Google Oauth workflows. We're opening up this technology as service called Loginbud to see if anyone is interested in using this as a service.

Hello Hacker News!

Treespec is a webservice that tests your webapp through automation by recording your interaction and video of your workflow and diffing it with a future run of an updated build of your webapp. There's no plugins to install nor setup required. It gives visual feedback that's missing from automated tests.

Treespec is currently in preview mode. If you don't have a staging server to test on, you can try testing treespec.com with the account test@test.com / password. Any feedback is welcome!

This is a very one sided view. One major problem that web apps have over desktop apps is the ambiguity of purpose. If you alt+tab or use exposé and see the window for Word, you know that's a word processor. It's much less defined as a browser window with Google Docs open. Regardless of what the web browser can do, its main purpose is still to browse the web. It's a main reason why I use Pidign/Digsby/Adium over using Meebo (although Meebo is great for checkup on someone else's computer). Different strokes for different folks.

Desktop apps are also not limited within the browser window and in hardware configuration such as 3d acceleration, keyboard shortcuts, mouse clicks (right click on Flash?), etc.
