Thanks! Feel free to reach out to the community on discord

I am also a boardgame.io maintainer, so happy to hear feedback about it too.

I think the framework has some gotchas and there are some improvements to be made (i.e. the whole thing about player being a string), but I still think it benefits a lot my productivity compared to doing it from scratch. Happy to hear in what cases you think otherwise.

If you keep the link, you can always come back to the game, the state will be persisted, as long as you use the same device.

But yes, there are some features missing to better support asynchronous play, i.e. sending an email or notification when it is your turn

Feel free to ask any questions for us on discord if you need help!

Great feedback, I will experiment with your suggestions, thanks!

(author here) Good point, but I still believe it is much better to use your own domain and have control of the whole html. Sadly because of the infrastructure currently available there is a balance between usability and centralization (but I don't think it needs to be this way). In the end, github page is being a commodity service, I could easily replace with any major provider to host the same website and users wouldn't even notice. If I wanted to be extremely radical I could host it on my personal machine on my house, but latency and availability would suffer. If I used a service like CloudFlare to improve it, we are back to centralization. Sadly, there isn't a black and white answer here.

(author here) I did not know that :P. I thought it was an action because it behaved like one, but you are right, it is a built-in feature on github. This also makes using mainline Jekyll a much better alternative. I will correct the post and follow up updating it from Jekyll now to Jekyll. I used this built-in support thinking it was an action :P

I will! I am going to add a note to the post letting people know. Maybe we can create a similar functionality that Jekyll Now had of forking the repo and having a github page right away.

Good point! Done!

They might be. I tried running it locally with the latest ruby LTS and ran into errors. It only worked with Ruby 2.7.

However, what isn't clear is if we need to discard the whole project and go to another one or just help the maintainers. I will see if I can help.

(author here) yes, the lack of updates is concerning. Interesting, I will check mkdocs out!

I am probably a bit late for this thread, but check out our non-profit FOSS project: https://FreeBoardGames.org It is built with boardgame.io and react/next, and we have a growing community! We have a special focus on making sure our games work on mobile too
