Hello HN, I have started FBG some years ago when I moved to the Bay Area and could not find a simple, cross-platform, no-registration way to play board games with my friends back in my home country.

Shmelo▲6Hey HN, I built Shmelo as a little break from work stuff. Its a simple leaderboard for games with friends: set it up fast, log games, share a public link. Works with any game as long as it has winners and losers. Rankings use elo system (like chess). it stays fair even if people miss a few sessions. You can also see how rankings change over time, and tap into more stats if you want. Feedback appreciated. Cheers!
