Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a small experiment I just built — and honestly, something I didn’t think I’d be able to pull off.
In the last ~4 days, I created a webpage for the World Cup called StrikeZone.
The crazy part: I don’t have a programming or UX/UI background. I built everything using AI tools.
What I built
The app has two main features:
🧠 Daily Quiz
- 5 World Cup questions every day
- 30 seconds per question
- Global and private group leaderboards
- Answer stats to compare performance
📊 Predictions Game
- Predict all 72 group-stage matches
- Select the tournament winner
- If you don’t want to fill everything manually, AI can help complete your predictions
You can also create private groups and compete with friends.
How I approached it (with AI)
Instead of coding from scratch, I used AI tools to:
- build the core logic
- structure the UI flows
- iterate quickly on features
What surprised me the most is that AI wasn’t just helpful for coding — it actually helped me think through product decisions as well.
Challenges I didn’t expect
A few things were harder than I thought:
- UX flows → combining quiz + predictions without making it messy
- Keeping it simple → it’s easy to overbuild when AI makes things fast
- Engagement design → what actually makes someone come back every day?
What I’m trying to learn
Right now, I’m not focused on monetization — I’m trying to understand:
- Do users come back daily for the quiz?
- Do people prefer quick interactions or full prediction games?
- What actually drives retention in a simple product like this?
The web
If you’re curious, you can try it here:
Would love your feedback
This is still very early, so any feedback is super helpful:
- UX
- ideas
- things that feel confusing or unnecessary
I’m actively iterating and improving it.
Thanks!
