Show HN: Eyeball
- MontyCarloHall - 8589 sekunder sedanA modern take on Matthias Wandel's classic [0], which has you guess a variety of geometric attributes (e.g. angle bisection, centroid locating, shape regularization), not just simple partitioning of a line.
- harrisi - 2343 sekunder sedanIt's interesting that there are, at the time I'm commenting, 11 new users commenting on this submission, some commenting multiple times. I wonder what the effect of "share my score" type pages have on account creation.
- forlorn_mammoth - 13902 sekunder sedanLove it!
It would be great to have a 'training' mode, where you get to repeat ones you miss. This would increase the learning speed.
Easy training- repeat the one you just borked Medium training- cycles through say 5 examples until you get all five within your target range (1%, 0.1%, whatever)

- Mabusto - 2360 sekunder sedanI love these simple games that take 2 seconds to understand the rules.
Off by 6 on my iPad by mis-clicking. Very satisfying!
- densekernel - 5924 sekunder sedanhttps://eyeball.rory.codes/ I was 0.20% off on eyeball. Beat me: https://eyeball.rory.codes
- davidcollantes - 11549 sekunder sedanI was 0.06% off on eyeball. Beat me: https://eyeball.rory.codes.
This is fun!
- wolttam - 3577 sekunder sedanThe low contrast of this website hurts my eyeball
- layer8 - 6737 sekunder sedanThe fact that the numbers are in a brighter color than the end marks, and that the numbers go inwards, makes it slightly more difficult than it would otherwise be, because the eye is biased by the more prominent space between the numbers being different from the line between the marks.
- schuhwerk - 4657 sekunder sedanNice! Would be nice to see your progress over time (if you got better, also as a function of speed...)
- throwawaydudhdn - 8961 sekunder sedanGreat idea! Have you considered storing triplets <range, correct number, selected number> for each try and making image plots of these (x/y coordinates are correct/selected numbers, color of each pixel represents frequency) for multiple users for each range? I think the image might reveal interesting properties of human eyeballing, like near-perfect accuracy around 50%, but with less obvious correlations.
- pedromlsreis - 14371 sekunder sedan0.11% by luck, because I actually got lucky the target number was too close to zero, out of a big scale.
- ashm1104 - 13177 sekunder sedanI love these kind ones! Really engaging also yes as someone commented, the training mode would be an awesome idea.
Also, I tried this on laptop as well as my phone, I liked it more on my phone (I know the whole point is about precision though)
- Chaseraph - 2975 sekunder sedanWell I suck.
- joey9prints - 11313 sekunder sedanCool idea, love how simple it is. Minimal and clean.
- zer0tonin - 23219 sekunder sedanThis is fun but you need to put "click the line" higher on the page. It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at.
- cdelsolar - 2316 sekunder sedani got a 0.00% after 3 tries!
- antoine-codefly - 10441 sekunder sedanDefinitely need an iOS version! An angle version on a circle would be nice too.
- zokier - 12091 sekunder sedan10 round avg 4.5%.
A time limit would make sense imho. For extra challenge, add diagonal or curved lines.
- oastp - 4594 sekunder sedanlove it, pulls you in after a first try)
- FinanceFreddy - 7875 sekunder sedanOh, this is actually fun! How about if you change the target every few seconds to add a bit of pressure.
- ramon156 - 12737 sekunder sedan800
0 out of 1,600
I still missed. Even when there was centered text.
Maybe the human is the weakest link
- ehsangazarr - 6141 sekunder sedanReally fun! I am pretty much blind
- ketul_shah - 20563 sekunder sedanthis is fun and helping me get grounded :). adding a timer would be a good idea, I think.
- lbeyer - 6896 sekunder sedanSimple premise, oddly hard to put down.
- 0x000xca0xfe - 11369 sekunder sedan10 perfect hits in a row!
...
handleClick({clientX: els.bar.getBoundingClientRect().left + els.bar.getBoundingClientRect().width / state.n * state.target })
- tt_dev - 8601 sekunder sedanthis was fun
- trickybusiness - 24481 sekunder sedanthis is fun!
- elliotJames548 - 21840 sekunder sedani made 0.87%
- nextma - 28812 sekunder sedanmy best is 0.08%
- aspectop - 10579 sekunder sedanmy avg was around 2% not able to do more than that lol
- ehsangazarr - 6133 sekunder sedanpretty fun!
