Hey HN!

  Built this to solve chip count disputes at my weekly poker night. It's a simple web app for tracking chip stacks with real-time P2P multiplayer sync.

  Tech stack:
  - Vanilla JS (no frameworks, ~25KB total)
  - PeerJS for WebRTC P2P connections
  - Service worker for offline support
  - Hosted on GitHub Pages (costs $0)

  Why no backend? Wanted zero operational cost and liked the challenge of doing state sync purely P2P. All devices connect directly to each other - no server in the
  middle.
