Show HN: Interactive checklist walkthrough for Dragon Quest VII

2 points by causalzap 2 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Hi HN,

I grew up playing Dragon Quest VII, but I always hated how archaic the text-based walkthroughs (GameFAQs) and ad-heavy wikis felt. With the new "Reimagined" demo out on Switch 2/Steam, I decided to build a modern companion tool.

The Stack:

Built with Astro for zero-JS performance on static pages.

Tailwind CSS for the UI (aiming for a clean, game-menu aesthetic).

Local Storage to persist checklist progress (no login required).

Key Features:

Interactive Shard Locator: Filter collectible fragments by region/color.

Progress Tracking: Check off "Missable Items" and "Story Flags" as you go.

Responsive: Works perfectly on mobile while you play on console.

It’s a passion project to see if game guides can be more than just static text walls. Would love to hear your feedback on the UX!
