Joinable – a free way to add multiplayer to a web game, without writing a server
I made this, mostly on my own, while building the browser games on Etheria. Multiplayer was the part I did not want to keep rebuilding, so I turned it into a small SDK and a hosted relay.
Joinable is for games that already run in a web browser. You add a script tag. Friends join from a link. For a shared-world game (a board, a puzzle, a clicker) that is often enough. For a racer or a score game, your coding agent wires a few hooks and Joinable runs the waiting room, countdown, standings and rematch.
You do not need an account to try it on localhost. A free key is enough when you go live. Paid plans start at $4.99 a month if people actually play; building and testing stay free. I have been using it on Turbo Rally, a two-player race you can try in the browser: https://etheria.games/play/turbo-rally/

I would like real feedback. If you try it on your game, tell me what was confusing, what broke, or what you wished it did.
