Sure thing! Basically started making simple rendering tests over a websocket and then added images, font and audio support.
The initial idea was to make jackbox style games people could host on their computers and play on their phones in the same room over wifi.
Added to that and kind of did a whole lot of nothing productive around covid, just experiments that didn’t get deployed anywhere. And a podcast with over 100 episodes.
A few years ago my wife and I had our first kid, so I spent about a year polishing the self hosted stuff and figured I would put the project on the shelf.
So that’s pretty much what I did until around 6 months ago when I realized the actual Internet is fast enough to run these games outside of a LAN, and a lot of people including myself miss browser based games. That plus Claude making me way more effective in my limited free time led to the current state of things
