I'm presenting a website where you can play Riichi Mahjong (4p strategy and luck boardgame):

- Play Mahjong as a guest or registered user

- Invite other players or play against bots

- View your game history and publicly share it with others

- Use the hand calculator for scoring your offline games at https://online-riichi.com/score

The game client has been inspired by "online-go" which I really enjoyed playing on - it's simplistic but feels tactile and remains true to the "feel" of the game. I would like to achieve the same thing.

As part of preparing to share on HN and reading the posting guide, I've added a "Play as guest" button so you don't need an account to play.

Finally, my own selfish goal is to gather a small player base which I can develop features for. My question for HN is - how would you go about attracting users to this kind of project?

All is built with Postgres, Rust and Preact. Done as a pastime to work. I'm sharing it now because I promised myself to do so before the end of the year! I've added a discord link on the website, but you can also contact me at cerpinsmiks@gmail.com.

Merry Christmas!
