How did you create rooms for playing with friends? Did you use a specific tech or open source library?

I am trying to implement the same for a game I am building but have no idea how to go about doing it.

Thanks in advance

Because they want people who are driven to get to next stage.

From individual pov, no. Because everyone a different priorities in life.

Goal is to find the company where their expectation meets your priorities.

Substack does a good job at it

I have hosted many in the past. Self hosted, wordpress, and a php version (I forgot what it was called)

The biggest problem with all those was dealing in spam comments and bad cross links.

Then I tried medium but it didn’t use to share subscriber emails.

Ended up migrating to Substack and been very happy with it for past 3 years

The base ai model sounded like whisper ai from meta. Did you train the voice yourself or is it one of defaults?

I am always curious as to what copyright issues products like this run into. Also whats the stack like to build something like this?
