The author was waiting 14 years to excitedly share this?

IMHO, feels more like a polyfill than a final industry solution.

Isn't MacOS just *nix under the hood? Genuinely curious about this difference.

How would you replicate: rsync -avz -e "ssh" user@remote_host:/path/to/source/ /path/to/destination/

Something like this? fxcp snap export /path/to/source/ | ssh user@remote_host -t 'fxcp snap import /path/to/destination/'

How do I see the table? Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I expected drag and drop from my hand at the bottom to the empty space at the top as the table, like TappedOut.net but it seems I have to tap the card, then tap Play, then all I see is a message saying "# Cards on table" but not visible anywhere.
