Overview

Dailys is a simple website with a handpicked collection of daily games you can play once per day. The site features various categories and a search function to quickly find specific games. You can also check off games by clicking on them, this checklist resets automatically every day. When you check off all games of a section, the section itself is marked as completed.

How it works

• Every entry is a card with the game icon, title and a link button, that opens the game on its original site. I don’t host the games!
• Each card can be checked off by clicking on it. The state is locally saved and automatically resets every day.
• Games are grouped into thematic categories. When all games inside a category are checked off, the category itself gets a checkmark.
• All games and categories are stored in a single JSON file and loaded using JavaScript, which makes updates fast and simple.

Curation

Each game is handpicked by me. I choose the games based on how much fun they are for me and my friends. A very important factor is the daily mechanic, so the game is supposed to be played just once per day. Another big factor is the duration of the game, because i only want to include quick and short games.

Design & UX

The site has a minimal, dark aesthetic with a single accent color, for efficient and quick navigation. Small hover animations give the site a lot of polish while staying simple and fast.

Tech & build notes

• Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript
• Game data in JSON file
• Checkbox state saved locally (resets daily)
• Hosted on GitHub Pages
• I used AI to help speed up parts of the project. But the design, curation and core implementation are my work
