  • The multiplayer server part is a harder nut to crack. At first, I thought Nakama (https://heroiclabs.com/nakama/) would be a good choice, but after playing with it a while, it doesn't seem to handle the offline matchmaking part really well, and somehow it rubs me the wrong way. Now I am thinking I could use Appwrite (https://appwrite.io) or Supabase (https://supabase.com), but I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
