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

@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...

Hey Nicholas what kind of deck shuffling algorithm do you use? I mean it can't be any worse than river/straight/flush-Stars lol but just curious about the mathematics behind it

@shanny1719 Good question - TBH didn't do a ton of research into it, but I used a PNRG named sfc32 with a seed unique to each hand xor'ed with a secure seed and then a random allocation of cards into sequential starting points in the deck. Sounds like you know a bit about this. Any tips?

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).

YAAAS. Pokerstars UI/UX was garbage when my friends wanted to play a private game, excited to try this. edit // Love that this is browser based, no need for install. Minor issue -- I couldn't do SSO while on Brave, but it worked on Chrome.

@bblee Thanks Brandon! Will check out Brave and see what's going. Also, going to make all game lengths free for the first week or two (and just subsidize the cost), so please enjoy and any feedback is welcomed

Would be nice to collect players payments and re-distribute earnings. Is it even allowed by the current US regulation to move funds between players in the case of an online home game?

Hi Nicholas, are you still developing this? It is a really cool idea and I would like to play poker with the people that share their camera as that would definitely be similar to a real-life casino which I really miss nowadays because of the coronavirus. I am playing currently Live Casino Guru site and really enjoy it, but I would like developers to add this feature with the possibility to turn on the webcam. Hope they will implement it in one day.

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.
