That's neat, what tech did you build it with? The github link didn't go to a particular repo so I'm guess it's private for now?

The wider site has some interesting games: https://kosmi.io

I could see this being popular integrated into one of those viral social activity apps like https://www.houseparty.com or https://www.airtime.com/ where you watch videos together with friends w/ voice/text/stickers/etc. Most of the reviews for those tend to be teenagers stuck in the bedrooms socializing with friends through their phones.

A group game of an SNES rom with a remote friend would be fun even for my adult friend group.

Thank you! it's all built using Elixir on the backend and React on the frontend. In fact all the apps on the site are built using that same stack.

I'm actually planning to merge them all into one platform soon. Hadn't thought of integrating with others but good idea!

I'm not sure if you could integrate with Houseparty or Airtime.

If they were smart they would open an API for this type of stuff. Those apps could go a long way

Looks cool. I think you should add a listing for public rooms, I couldn't really try it by myself but would have liked to.

Is there any central validation for hands and plays?

The whole game logic is run serverside, including hand and play validation if that's what you are asking.
