Show HN: LeFun.fun – an online board game platform with games built in React

TLDR: Try a game of Bloco against friends or a few bots to get an idea. You can find the extra-simple rules at the top (book icon).

_Background_

As you'll guess this is a project that was born out of the pandemic, when my friends and I discovered online board games. The existing platforms are good but they often have a poor UX and are rarely mobile friendly. On top of that, coding games for those platforms often imply older technologies - I wanted to code games in React.

_Features_

* Simple UX: create a match, share a link with your friends - that's it. No download, no need to log in, no convoluted steps.

* Mobile friendly (mostly mobile-first!).

* 5 games so far, inspired from or similar to these old classics: Pictionary, Blokus, Perudo, Can't Stop, Minesweeper (Note that I'm not affiliated with any of these).

* Some games supports bots (look for the small robot icon).

* Basic stats.

* In-match chat.

* Free, no ads.

_Implementation details_

* Everything is in Javascript (Typescript actually!) and React

* Postgresql database

* The games use a common framework that does most of the heavy lifting. Implementing new games is very straightforward.

* Not open-source yet but it's in the plans!
