Longtail — Daily Rare-Answer Trivia
A daily trivia game where any right answer scores, and the less popular your answer is, the more it is worth. Six prompts a day, thirty seconds each, the same six for everyone.

Project Details
Longtail is a static site with no framework and no runtime dependencies: plain ES modules, loaded natively. The scoring engine is pure logic with no DOM access, covered by a Node test suite, and the interface sits on top of it. The answers are not made up. Every category is built from Wikidata and ranked by English Wikipedia pageviews, so an answer is rare because few people look it up, and the source is shown on screen. Node scripts build and validate the data ahead of time, which is why the game needs no server.
Outcome
Live at playlongtail.com with a new set of six prompts every day.
