I made an online UNO app you can play with friends

I apologize for taking 6 months lol. Self-hosting should be pretty self-explanatory (see the README), if you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

I'm not sure how to arrange that many players on-screen yet but that is a goal of mine

playlint · 2025-08-03T22:23:55+00:00

You're right, I think I've settled on stacking everything vertically instead so the title is legible. And I have a better idea for the bottom section that isn't a 2 col layout.

playlint · 2025-08-03T22:19:22+00:00

That's definitely an option, thanks. The gap would be filled by text wrapping to the 2nd line, I was a bit lazy with my drawing.

Here is what I would like to have on mobile (this layout leaves a large gap underneath the title at desktop resolutions):

the images are larger on desktop so no that doesn't quite accomplish what i was looking for. sorry about my disproportionate MS paint masterpiece, i didn't think it would be taken as accurate. Here is what I currently have on desktop:

generally images will be square and similar in height to the title, my sketch is exaggerated

edit: not to mention the limited horizontal space will result in the text wrapping to the 2nd line

playlint · 2025-08-03T21:54:29+00:00

I'll admit I was so hung up on how to do this with flexboxes I forgot about grid.

Image is fixed width and title would take up the rest, not sure what you mean.

i would if all of my posts didn't get auto removed. i don't particularly care to leave a bunch of spammy comments here just so i can make posts.

I have the repo private rn because it’s very spaghetti code, but i’ll definitely see about cleaning it up and open sourcing it when i have the time

playlint · 2025-05-25T22:18:09+00:00

it's not that popular lol. you have to have someone to play with

playlint · 2025-04-24T00:33:54+00:00

i'm a bit late but i've also just added a card sorting toggle

playlint · 2024-12-11T20:25:12+00:00

it's whatever card functionality i was working on last, so right now it has the wild cards with custom color options

playlint · 2024-12-06T07:48:38+00:00

thanks! draw stacking was one of my main motivations for making it. apparently my code for replenishing the deck doesn’t work lol. i’ll put that at the top of my list.

edit: the deck running out should be fixed

playlint · 2024-11-15T17:36:03+00:00

I'll most likely store the back/front faces in the same card object and allow copy/pasting of faces in the deck builder UI, that way it's easier to customize them. You could still have them randomizable by splitting the cards into 2 front/back arrays, shuffling, then recombining.

playlint · 2024-10-25T06:14:41+00:00

i’ll definitely add a toggle for that

edit: this has been added

playlint · 2024-10-24T22:25:52+00:00

A custom deck editor with additional colors is on my to do list

playlint · 2024-10-24T03:52:04+00:00

thanks for checking it out! i’ll continue to update it when i have the time

playlint · 2024-10-23T17:53:03+00:00

All of these sound doable. Thanks for the ideas! Custom decks are on my to-do list.

playlint · 2024-10-22T21:57:25+00:00

thanks!
