Show HN: Fakeipedia – Wikipedia for worlds that don't exist

2026-10-16 @ 23:52:04Points: 14Comments: 3

Fakeipedia is an automatic world-building platform which takes an imagined world and makes a whole wiki that you can endlessly explore by clicking red links.

I came up with this idea a few months ago after playing around with worldbuilding in Gemini, but I didn't want to release it until a powerful enough model could do it justice, and I decided that Argon is creative enough to write articles that are worth reading. I was surprised how well it turned out and how engaging some of the writing actually is.

If you want to generate an article there is a nominal charge attached ($0.90), which helps cover AI/Stripe costs, and I think I just about break even. You can also steer the generation ala choose-your-own-adventure books when generating a new article. Everything generated is free and public for everyone to see.

I hope you like it and I'm very much open to hearing about new world ideas/features that would make this project better.

Show HN: Wonderhop – A daily game: guess what most people say, or what none do

2026-10-13 @ 23:10:04Points: 79Comments: 71

Wonderhop is a small browser game with no account needed to play, everyday there are 4 rounds of 7 quesitons like "Name a food that a lot of people hate" The goal depends on the mode: Either gives the answer most people would give, the one no one would give, the oldest answer or the most recent one and there's a leaderboard for the day.

The most interesting part of the project was understanding answers that are typed freely and in 10 languages, there was some typos, plurals, nickname, or even duplicate way of sayign the same thing. We needed AI judge that checks it really existes conencted to some API like wikipedia to judge the veracity of each answer really quickly (less than 1s on average)

The percentage starts from an estimate but move really fast with the answers of real players. If the list missed a good answer, it gets added as soon as a few different players give it.

(There are also a lot of secrets and pop culture references added in the game :) )

A large part of the code was written with AI tools, but the artistic direction the concept and every choice design are human-made

We'd love to know if the goal is clear from the very first question while playing and were any good answers rejected unfairly

We are a couple of developers from Montreal that like guessing games so we built this in about two month.

Thanks a lot!
