Show HN: Find the State – Find all the States in the contiguous USA on a map (find-the-state.netlify.app)

Hi there - I made a little game in React called Find the State. Goal is to find all the contiguous U.S. States on a map. Frontend and Backend code is open sourced.

Long story short - there was this iPad game I played like 5 years back that just had you find States on a map. I really liked it, but it was buggy and eventually stopped even being served on the app store.

While playing it, I found that my knowledge of where all the states were was really awful. I kinda just assumed I knew where all the states were. It was fun playing it a bunch and getting a lot better.

So I decided to make my own version that tried to keep everything really simple and that could be used as a kinda tool to workout your U.S. "geography" muscle.

Comes complete with old-timey music and a high-score (fastest-time, number correct in-a-row) scoreboard.

Totally down to answer any question on the code or anything.
