Hey HN,

I recently learnt about Halo 2 and PLONK zero-knowledge circuit design and built a Wordle clone that creates ZK proofs of the grid you share afterwards. This was mostly a fun intro project for me and I wrote up my notes introducing Halo 2 and my circuit design in specific in the README that would be interesting to folks here!

Very cool! Such a clean implementation
Nice idea, and it's visible that you put lots of effort into this!

I tried it on the website, but unfortunately when generating a proof, after about a minute my mobile browser crashes. I guess it's an OOM kill?

This is great! Do you have any sense for how long the proof generation times are on various devices? On my phone I'm clocking 8 minutes already but still working.
Pretty cool. Nice work. There's lots of money in the Zcash dev fund (almost $8 million, currently). https://grants.zfnd.org/ Perhaps you might try to build something else and apply for a grant. (I saw zooko retweet you).
