It's a random word each game (but the URL is shareable with a friend to play the same word).

TBH I've had it up as-is for a decade as a classical web app, but just converted it to a frontend-only app to eliminate most hosting costs.

Out of interest what did you use (framework, or 'no framework') for the frontend-only ? Anything you feel like you've learnt from the process ?

    I've always been a backend/systems kind of guy.

    For the frontend for this I used Vue.JS as a learning experience. Overall it was straightforward and quite pleasant.

    The hardest part was the mental process of giving up on server-side business logic enforcement (such as anti-cheating). At the end of the day ... "it's just a game" :)
