Hey Product Hunt! šŸ‘‹ I'm youliqn, the maker of Playsaladbowl. The problem: Every New Year's Eve, my friends and I play Salad Bowl (aka Fishbowl). It's the best party game — but every time, someone has to bring paper slips, find a bowl, and the words get lost or repeated. We tried a few online versions, but they all felt like a to-do list app with a timer. No vibe. No fun. So I built this. Three things I obsessed over: 1. The TV mode šŸ“ŗ — I wanted people to look at a big screen together, not huddle around one phone. Everyone adds words from their own phone via QR code, then the TV handles the timer and scoreboard. It feels like a proper game night. 2. The battle card šŸ“ø — Every game ends with a shareable recap card (score, highlights, fun stats). My friends kept screenshotting the final score anyway, so I made it look good enough to post on IG. 3. Zero friction ⚔ — No signup, no app, no account. You land on the page and play in 10 seconds. I want it to be the fastest way from "let's play Salad Bowl" to actually playing. What's next: I'm working on custom word pack sharing (so you can play with your group's inside jokes), more battle card designs, and a 4th "bonus round" mode. I'd love your honest feedback: - Does the TV mode work smoothly for your group? - What word pack themes are missing? - What would stop you from using this over paper? Happy to answer any questions about how I built it (vanilla JS, no framework — kept it simple) or the game itself. Thanks for checking it out! šŸ™
What did GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna unlock that made your launch possible?

GPT-5.6 Luna's creative generation capability is the core engine of our product. Specifically: The biggest headache for the traditional Salad Bowl game is "word selection" - either using repetitive generic word packs, or someone having to spend 20 minutes manually typing. We previously created over 200 static word packs, but users always felt they were not enough. GPT-5.6 Luna has enabled us to transform the vocabulary list from a "static 200 items" to an "infinite dynamically generated" one. Users can input any topic, and Luna can generate 30 words that are relevant to the topic and of moderate difficulty within 1-2 seconds. This is not a simple synonym replacement; it truly understands the context: for example, "office-related jokes" would generate "weekly report", "align", "this requirement is simple" instead of "computer" or "desk".
