This needs some way of voting posts down/flagging. Too many "Send nudes" and other inappropriate messages.

Yep definitely have a feature like that in the works. Where if > 50% active users vote to kick someone they're kicked out for 30 mins. Easy to do, just a matter of finding the time to code it :/

Site looks broken to me. Using Chrome on Linux.

>There are 0 people here (NaN have typed stuff).

I'm also getting JS errors: "Uncaught TypeError: Object.entries is not a function connection.onmessage @ (index):403".

I didn't realize how new that was. Yeah I rely on the newest of the newest features. I check caniuse.com and if at least 3 major browsers supports a feature then I use it freely. Sometimes that means using stuff that doesn't work on older browsers or IE11.

Maybe you're on an older version of Chrome? I can't be bothered to do the research but I recall Object.entries being a (relatively) recent addition.

Object.entries requires Chrome 54, have you upgraded?

I wonder how subtle changes to the way the game is framed may alter what people write.

That's cool! How did you make it?

It was originally vanilla JS on the front-end but I changed to Vue.js because it was really inconvenient without something like that. Vue has its own caveats but they're less annoying than nothing. The backend is a single free-tier EC2 server running a single Node.js process, using Websockets. Everything is custom except a canned websocket lib (and Vue).

From what I can see it uses VueJS for the UI and websockets for server communication. I would bet that the backend is in NodeJS :).

Looks like it died?
