What is Mudlet?
Mudlet is a platform for gaming and enhancing game-play primarily with MUDs.
Mudlet provides a toolkit and supports a wide variety of protocols for players and creators to tailor an immersive game-playing experience. MUD creators can use Mudlet to add visual flair or build features into their text games.

What are MUDs?
A MUD (/ˈmʌd/; originally Multi-User Dungeon, with later variants Multi-User Dimension and Multi-User Domain),[1][2] is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based. MUDs combine elements of role-playing games, hack and slash, player versus player, interactive fiction, and online chat. Players can read or view descriptions of rooms, objects, other players, non-player characters, and actions performed in the virtual world. Players typically interact with each other and the world by typing commands that resemble a natural language. – Wikipedia

Looking for help: commissioning a lottie animation
Lottie animations - essentially an animated SVG - are very handy to quickly give someone an idea of how an app works. RainforestQA, for example, has one on their homepage explaining how their QA tool works. Wouldn't it be great to have a similar animation on...
Patron poll: simplifying the connection dialog
The current connection dialog displays a lot of information at once - which for a first time player is often just too much. So we thought - how about we move some of the non-essential fields out of the first view - into an "Options" section that is hidden by default?...
