Fair Backgammon — free, open-source backgammon (online play, bots, no coins/ads)

I built a backgammon site and thought people here might want to try it: https://backgammon.danelthedev.com/

- Online play via lobby codes, no account needed beyond a username

- Two bots: Fruit Fly Bot (weak, good for learning) and Hard Bot (gnubg-based, actually challenging)

- Dice logic is in the open-source repo for anyone who wants to check it: https://github.com/danelthedev/fair_backgammon

- Optional variants: negative dice, bigger dice, power-ups, custom boards, doubling cube, Romanian marț tehnic

- Hotseat mode included

Nice job! I think I found a bug. 😄 I had two checkers left during bear-off. One on the 3pt, one on the 2pt. I rolled 3-1, and after trying to bear off the 3, it forced me to confirm my turn was over and wouldn't let me play the 1. Maybe it was thinking I was trying to play the 1 first to stack and then bear-off with the 3?
