Not sure if I'm doing it right, but http://2048.semantics3.com/2048/ (their mvp) just returns {"message":"Please say hi..."}

I think when they say MVP they might really mean AFJ, which would make the behavior you observed more understandable. Some AFJ purists would even claim it's the right way to do it under the methodology, which is arguably one of its major differences from the MVP credo.

This is actually documented in the API. Turns out the API just wants your program to be polite and say hi when calling it.

Drop the /2048 from the end of the url and replace it with /hi/start/json It really does appear to respond as advertised!

Is this the most elaborate April fool of the day?

What does AFJ mean?

April Fools Joke, I would assume.

This is hilarious. This probably won't be, but should be the final entry in the series of 2048 clones.

I guess that you could de-servicify it and create own2048, not that I know how it would differ from the original version...
