I know that this isn't perfect the right spot, but it's adjacent enough for me to thing its relevant. I've used multiple tools for playing D&D (and GURPS) online, and for some reason the simplest tools attract me more than the more robust ones.

So would you think that a tool similar to this one would have your interest? If a friend of yours would invite you to play some Card Game over a tool that is focused in the table, not on the rules, would this be ok? Is my line of thought "okish" in this?

Thanks for all the feedback.

Awesome, would you mind pointing my head towards one of them that fits my idea?

So, both fails my needs. Both enforce game rules. I want a table that I can move card and have private hands.

Cockatrice isn’t a web application and I can’t just invite a player.

Virtual tabletop looks closer, but enforces the game rules, while I want an analog of a table, bring your cards and let’s play. Something along these lines.

Either way thanks for the suggestion and reading the blog post.

So it's only missing a PR or two. Not "the rest of the fucking owl". That's my point

Not sure if this just “couple MRs” away. This is a total change on the paradigm of the tool. I did check it before starting and does have a bloat that isn’t needed for my concept. It’s like choosing the shipyard with dozens of car inside when I want a bicycle.
