LuckyCat
Try it yourself ↗Cats bring money — everyone in Taiwan grows up knowing it. But which cat, exactly? LuckyCat started as a simple, slightly unhinged question: if you put every cat on the same lottery and let the numbers pile up, could you eventually prove which face, which coat, is actually the luckiest? A book of cat fortune-telling, rebuilt from crowd data instead of folklore.
It never left friends-and-family testing. The recognition ran on free tiers that broke as often as they worked; the numbers were ninety percent random and ten percent hope. One person's cat did win — but the auto prize-check wasn't finished, so I delivered the good news by hand, over a messaging app. That's why the shelf says 0 Winners.
The full story — the patient-zero cats, the one real win, and how the whole thing got quietly buried under features I was sure I needed — is in the field note below.
So — was it useless?
