I like it. I might try it out soon since I love everything poker-related. I have been playing poker ever since high school, and till nowadays, I still do. Before, I used to always play in casinos but ever since the Covid started, I started to gamble online. I found a really cool place https://holdemtour.com that had poker and slots games. Ever since that day, I have played there at least three times a week. Even though the casinos are opening now, I still won’t stop online gambling.
I've always enjoyed the social element of a good friendly poker game. With shelter in place, video calls just weren't scratching that same itch. I rushed to build a no-limit hold-em poker app that merges video chat with elements of risk. I've spent too many hours playing over the past week with my friends and colleagues that I wanted to open this up to the world. Hope that this brings some sense of normalcy to you all.
(NOTE: This uses Twilio for video, so for longer games, I'm trying to pass some of the cost on so I don't go too broke. Happy to open source once I clean it up a bit as well).
Great idea ... couldn't get it to work tho :(. Is it supposed to email the invites ? Nothing arrived. When they guys logged in .. nothing came up to say there was a game invite waiting either.
@ray_nolan hey Ryan. I’ll look into the emails. Possible they went into the spam folder? You can also send them the link you get redirected to and if they go there they’ll be added to the game
@ray_nolan Just to follow up here Ray - Had the wrong key for email. Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing out.

@nclarksf We still didn't get the mail to work but played using the link. With a bit of tidying up, there's a paid product in here.
Bigger video circles - makes it more social
Smoother invite process
Simpler bidding
HTH
All in all a decent experience - thanks!!
@ray_nolan Thanks much for the feedback. Agree with all of the above. Thoughts on a simpler bidding process? And by HTH (head to head I assume?), what would you like to see there. If you're open, collecting a list of feedback here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsh...

Everyone in this life has the opportunity to win. I think online gambling is cool. I know a lot of the best games of chance for consoles ( here ) because I work directly with this and therefore I can boast of such knowledge. It's not hard for me to share this with you too if you're interested.

It’s a great product, how long do it take you to make.
Are going to add more features to it, like different themes playing in a bar, on the street, etc.
@rilwan_owolabi1 hey Junior. It took about 2 weeks of some nights and weekends. Then plenty of play testing of course. As for new features, sure would be fun to keep going. I plan to open source it all as well.

Lots of fun and works really well! Great job, @nclarksf!
