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!

You never know who's going to drop in and say humbug :\
Merry Christmas to you too.
This looks like the real Mahjong, very well done.
Back in the 1960's I played with old timers on a set that was antique back then, mostly bamboo but a few ivory pieces.

I got the idea they had been doing it in Europe beforehand, one was a Holocaust survivor.
They loved it when some of us teenagers took an interest and joined in. That was by the 1970's.
