#83I just happened to check in on it today! Updates seem very frequent so I usually take a look every few weeks. As another comment mentions, this is the project of one Russian guy. Which is interesting because despite our presumably very different cultural upbringings, I feel like I "get" nearly all of his references. I wonder how common it is for Russians to have exposure to so much US/Western/Japanese media.
Also - you can click on "Changes" in the top bar and there is a searchable list of every update.

#85I appreciate the author including a high quality source map.
Looking through the source of this is really interesting.
Very well written, looks like vanilla js, with less for css. The components are very easy to reason about and all just do direct DOM manipulation, I like it a lot.
The only thing I might have done differently is that I think it would have simplified the code base a little to use Web Components custom elements (not shadow dom) as the unit of component encapsulation, but this is a nit - the author makes effective use of templates for instantiation of dom elements, so that could have been a bit more complex with WCs, as you'd have to wire it into the connectedCallback lifecycle event.
I love everything else about this code base, the use of jsdoc for types instead of typescript, the organization.
It's really a breath of fresh air - so refreshing to see an example of a quality code base that avoids frameworks, and almost any dependency. The only js dependency I see is on handlebars.

I feel like internet-savvy Russians have lots of exposure.

#87Reminds me of a game I used to play called Space Station 13. It's a completely unique game. Imagine a giant game of Among Us, but with the engine complexity of Dwarf Fortress. Most servers are high level roleplay, where each player has a role (doctor, janitor, captain, clown, etcetera) and the rounds play out until chaos ensues (theme changes each round, but it could anything from station terrorists to a wizard causi…
SS13 has been remade, SS14 https://spacestation14.io/ Its very playable today, and has a bunch of improvements to the original. Its also open source under an MIT License.
SS13 remakes are like "nuclear fusion" and "year of the Linux desktop"... always announced, never delivered.
Does this one actually have traction?

It's not announced, it is there.
