Open source mobile trivia game PWA

Hey HN. I made this trivia game because I couldn't find a simple, web-based, mobile friendly trivia game without ads and tracking.

It is very light, ~300kb (compressed) over the wire, including ~12 SVG illustrations. Each subsequent game transfers < 10 KB.

The front end is Nuxt.js and the back end is node/express.

I tried to avoid user-hostile features that induce users to keep playing. To this end, there is no persistent score or points, just single 10 point games.

The questions come from the open trivia DB and there are many categories. You can play with an arbitrary combination of categories.

I made this a while ago, but never posted it. I want to share it in hopes that it will inspire me to keep working on it. I'd really like to add an offline mode and some other stuff. I have a bunch of cool ideas for it.

FYI, the contrast is low on the categories view, making it hard to see which categories are selected on some screens.
