Hi,Starting here because general searching isn't helping and the group as a whole has a lot of clues about the FOSS universe. Hoping somebody can point me in the right direction. I've been writing/maintaining an open-source mobile board game for the last 20+ years. (I describe it as "implementing the rules of Scrabble", or "Words without Ads" :-). It has a server component within the same source tree that I threw together in C++ way back when. I now understand the problems it's trying to solve better and want to replace it. But it seems lots of folks have similar needs and somebody should have written one already. But how to find it? One caveat: it's not a traditional game server in that it's an optional, not essential, component of multi-device play. Devices can connect via it, or Bluetooth, or data-sms, or even NFC, and as long as one of these technologies is delivering messages the game goes on. So it's basically just a store-and-forward message-passing service I need: one device passes it a message and the "address" of a recipient and it tries really hard to deliver, by responding to pull requests and using any proprietary push service (e.g. Google's firebase) I care to plug in. Where would you go to start looking for such a thing? Or even to find folks interested in collaborating on design and implementation. (I'd write it in Python on Flask based on what I know now, but am not married to the details yet.)
