    This is delightful, and I love the choice of artwork. Curious what you built it in, is it open source?

      thank you, appreciate it! the backend is really as lo-fi as you can imagine, a JSON storing the pieces positions, a directory of curated images, some light session management, a little math to track connected pieces in groups.

      Ah sorry, just saw that you already answered the stack question.

    stack is vanilla JS and node.js web socket spaghetti code. only really works on desktop right now, but probably will figure out a way to get it to work on mobile.
