Math is cool

Hello Internets,

A few days ago I embarked on a coding sprint. A coding sprint is where I pick a small project that I can complete in about 2 hours and time myself coding it. I like to do these about once every 2 weeks. The project for this fortnight is lovingly called Mathy.

Minimalism is the new cluttered

The inspiration for Mathy came from a need. Very soon I am going to be starting a nootropic regiment and wanted to get so base-line cognitive scores to test differetn stacks against, as any proper scientist would. So I thought, "I'll just look up a series of basic cognitive tests online, bookmark them and attack them each day. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy".

FALSE.

All of the tests I found were poorly designed, childish in nature, varied wildly in difficulty, length and configurability and finally riddled with ads. Being part of the Self Tracking Community I saw this as a definite vacuum. So Mathy is my contribution to make the world a more trackier place.

Mathy is simple. Answer 25 random math questions as fast as possible. The goal was clean and attractive interface, excellent analytics, and relative short length (takes about 30-60 seconds). It's built in about 200 lines of Javascript and hosted on App Engine.

Not too shabby.

It's a start, I'm going to add much more polish later, but for now I'm proud for what I can do in 2 hours. Enjoy!
