here's a whole genre of StarCraft custom maps (UMS) where players race to guess songs, anime clips, and character quotes in real time. I grew up playing these, but the barrier now is huge — you need to install StarCraft, set up Battle.net, and most maps are Korean-only.

here's a whole genre of StarCraft custom maps (UMS) where players race to guess songs, anime clips, and character quotes in real time. I grew up playing these, but the barrier now is huge — you need to install StarCraft, set up Battle.net, and most maps are Korean-only.
So I rebuilt the core loop in the browser: **Matchu Online**.
**What it does:**
- Join a room, a YouTube clip plays, everyone races to type the correct answer
- Faster = more points, first-correct bonus, live scoring
- Skip voting, chat, global leaderboard
- Categories: anime songs, scenes, character quotes, OST, K-POP, J-POP, Vocaloid
**What I'm proud of:**
- User-made maps: paste a YouTube URL, set exact start/end, register multiple accepted answers. So niche packs are actually possible.
- English supported (UI + answers)
- No install, no account needed to join rooms
**Stack:** (fill in what you used — Node, Socket.IO, React, etc.)
Link in comments. Honest feedback very welcome — especially on onboarding and what would make you stick around past round one.
