There are so many simple open-source tools for that, that I would rather think about joining an existing project instead of creating another one
Awesome, would you mind pointing my head towards one of them that fits my idea?
(free, open source, selfhosted, minimal automation)
https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice/wiki
https://github.com/ArnoldSmith86/virtualtabletop
So, both fails my needs. Both enforce game rules. I want a table that I can move card and have private hands.
Cockatrice isn’t a web application and I can’t just invite a player.
Virtual tabletop looks closer, but enforces the game rules, while I want an analog of a table, bring your cards and let’s play. Something along these lines.
Either way thanks for the suggestion and reading the blog post.
So it's only missing a PR or two. Not "the rest of the fucking owl". That's my point
Not sure if this just “couple MRs” away. This is a total change on the paradigm of the tool. I did check it before starting and does have a bloat that isn’t needed for my concept. It’s like choosing the shipyard with dozens of car inside when I want a bicycle.
