The leaderboard is fascinating. Some people are clearly putting a lot of time into this, while the rest of us are trying to sneak phallic shapes past your CNN.

I am literally trying my best to draw a fish only to be told it is only 30% likely to be a fish. Cruel.

kristopolous 2 days ago | parent | next [-]

Got a potted flower through. It's swimming nicely

https://drawafish.com/tank.html?capacity=55&sort=popular also don't sleep on that one

theginger 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

That makes me feel better about my fish, I thought it was among the worst, but good to know it atleast qualified.

My hot dog with a smiley face got a 64%, I'm sorry.

Well what's the difference between a lamprey and an hot dog?

ch4s3 2 days ago | parent | next [-]

It's mostly down to the casing.

I speak 5 languages and english isn't on top of the list. The time you spent writing that novel could have been spent learning another language instead perhaps?

gerdesj a day ago | parent [-]

I was merely noting that you used a grammatical rule I have not seen in quite a long time.

sigh

5 -> five, english -> English (we are not Germans who insist on all nouns be capitalised but why not try it for a proper noun), novel -> diatribe. Possible missing ellipsis.

I speak roughly seven languages really badly and can fail to apologise properly in several others.

“An h*” is regional. Had a professor who said “an historic…” all the time, never stopped noticing it, though.

mikepurvis 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Also make sure you’re filling up the canvas — don’t draw something too small.

GaggiX 2 days ago | parent | prev [-]

Did it face the right way?

davidcollantes 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I could dedicate a month, or a year, and never come up with something like those. Are they really using the site tool, or is there a trick to draw them elsewhere and import them? Those are truly amazing!

lelandfe 2 days ago | parent | next [-]

If you have a tablet and some artistic background, these are all definitely doable. Doing those with a mouse would be a lot harder.

jackero 2 days ago | parent [-]

I like to draw with a mouse. Just takes practice, like anything.

goopypoop 2 days ago | parent [-]

What if your mouse was shaped like a pen?

mikepurvis 2 days ago | parent | prev [-]

It would be hilarious if that guy vibe coded a thing that’s just repeatedly googling images of real fish and then slavishly drawing them into the site.

ionwake 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I was extremely happy with my 60% Wang fish. And now after looking at the leaderboard I feel bad.

raisedbyninjas 2 days ago | parent [-]

I drew a real triumphant one that edged over the 60% threshold. Then read that the mod queue was at 63% and had to do it all over again.

Ok there's some sort of bot war going on with the leaderboard, right? The Palestine fish has 370,000 votes total (both up & down), which seems like a lot. Does HN really drive that kind of traffic??

rightbyte 2 days ago | parent | next [-]

Well you can click thumbs how many times you want so ...

gus_massa 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

The rule of thumb is 100*upvotes+50, so with the current 600 points, it's like 60.000 visits. Don't take that estimation too seriously, it's only a not so bad initial estimation.

OP really needs to read "How not to sort by average rating"

herval 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

you can also upvote your favorite however many times you want!

alphazard 3 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Are people actually drawing these in the browser, or is there some extension that lets you populate a canvas with something you did with a stylus in Photoshop?

creata 3 days ago | parent | next [-]

    const input = document.createElement("input");
    document.body.append(input);
    input.type = "file";
    input.accept = "image/*";
    input.onchange = e => {
        if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
            const canvas = document.getElementById("draw-canvas");
            const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
            createImageBitmap(input.files[0]).then(img => ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0));
        }
    };

I’m browsing hn on my iphone, clicked this link, drew a fish with my finger, and saw it

Worked out the box didn't think twice of it

Good point though as the site doesnt follow responsive design patterns

tamimio 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

I drew it with the mouse, doable bit you can use your ipad

fckgw 3 days ago | parent | prev [-]

You could also just load up the website on an iPad with an Apple Pen.

mh- 2 days ago | parent [-]

Unfortunately, that did not improve my drawing skills over using the trackpad. At all. :(

rightbyte 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Looking at those I feel my fish was totally inadequate. The first one didn't even pass the autofilter since it had a stick figure face ...

Really nice toy!

johnisgood 2 days ago | parent | prev | next [-]

The major problem is that I could up-vote and down-vote as many times as I want. It is rate-limited, however[1]. I know, because I wrote a script. :D Seems like someone else did, too, except to down-vote.

Please fix it.

Edit: these down-votes are going down by the 100s or so, someone is really bullish to have "RiverToSea" fish down-voted. Ironically, the "RiverToSea" fish was made by someone who named himself "f**k palestine".

[1] After refresh, you can continue voting till you reach the limit, which is problematic.

needleballista 2 days ago | parent [-]

I've always thought it was MORE democratic that if you really like a fish you should be able to upvote it more than if you just kind of like it

johnisgood 2 days ago | parent [-]

You may potentially be able to learn a lot from being able to successfully fight against people doing automated voting ad infinitum. :D

Now I understand why it rates my doodle as 7.5% fish probability.
