One thing about the JS ecosystem, there's a shit ton of libraries and frameworks.

#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hi Josh, I'm receiving an error upon accessing the page. Object.hasOwn is not a function. (In 'Object.hasOwn(t,n)', 'Object.hasOwn' is undefined)
Your browser is too old to work with the library. Object.hasOwn is available for 93% of users according to https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_object_hasown
Polyfill added btw, happy to take any more bug reports either here or in discord and thanks!

#84If you're looking for something more low-level, I can recommend boardgame.io [1]. [1] https://boardgame.io/
Yeah, I can totally recommend boardgame.io as well. Nicolo is super helpful and friendly. Also check out his other project https://boardgamelab.app/.

#85I don't think the foremost message on the landing page should be a "join our discord" call. It should feature examples and links to the source/docs.
In fact, the prominence of "join our discord" on projects like this is off-putting for me personally. I don't doubt I am alone in this regard.

#86You're using Typescript+CSS. Was hoping you'd support Python on the server, for game logic. Your timing is good because developers and publishers currently using BGA are unsettled and spooked by Asmodee's business model. BGA Studio's stack is JS/CSS + PHP (client and server) + MySQL [0] Yucata.de is JS + HTML + .NET 4.5 on the server [1] (TTS was using Lua, which I looked into but seemed eccentric and limited, it's n…
What is your reason for wanting Python on the backend so strongly? TypeScript is a very logical choice given that it runs on backend and a wide variety of frontends (not only web, but game engines like Unity too). And its type system is better than Python's.

#87Don't called your project *Zilla. The copyright owners of Godzilla are known to go after everyone who tries to use the "Zilla" suffix. Mozilla learned its lesson long ago and had to negotiate a special agreement.
oh crap

Yep, seems resolved. Excellent.

You are not.
I really dislike discord as anything else than a platform for disposable communication, e.g. between friends and stuff, but people have this tendency of using it as the prominent platform for support questions and even as documentation. And together with terrible search, and no search indexing, it's just terrible when you need to search for a solution.

Fwiw, we're only using Discord for disposable communication. We have a docusaurus site up for the docs, and otherwise all the development is taking place on Github. Discord seems very popular with the board game crowd, so it was kind of the first place we went to try to reach gamers before we started reaching out to developers.
What do you prefer to discord for disposable communication? Certainly open to suggestions.
