What's new

✏️

v1.3.15

A blog

letshang.io/blog: notes from building Let's Hang, written by Primož. Why tables need enough people, the pub quiz, Last Card, weekly tables, and the domain move that broke sign-in twice.

💬

v1.3.14

The first words from people at the tables

The front page carries what people told us, word for word and with their permission — starting with Michal from Czechia. It sits right under the first table now.
A Demo link in the header and "Peek into a room first" under the big buttons: the preview room is one click away, no sign-up.
The preview room shows the Screen tab from the start, so you can see what sharing looks like without looking for the button.
The people list on the front page shows everybody who has joined, points or not.

🛡️

v1.3.13

Try screen sharing in the preview, and a hard cap on email

The room preview has a working screen button: press it and the left side shows what a shared screen looks like, with zoom.
Nobody gets more than eight emails about tables in a day, whatever happens — past that, it is the bell only.
On a phone, faces in the video never squeeze into thin strips: each one keeps a proper size and the grid scrolls instead.

🎴

v1.3.12

Last Card

An eighth game, for two to six: Last Card. Match the colour or the number, skip, reverse, make the next one draw two or four, and pick the colour with a wild. If you know UNO or Crazy Eights, you already know how.
Can't go? Draw a card — if it fits, play it straight away, or pass. Everybody can see when somebody is down to their last card.
Your hand is only ever sent to you. Everybody else sees how many cards you hold, never which.
Fixed: with the dark theme picked by hand, the words on yellow buttons and tabs disappeared. And with the light theme picked on a dark computer, yellow buttons turned dim.
The practice bots say something that fits the game you are playing.

📭

v1.3.11

Fewer emails for hosts

Once your table's lights are on, another person sitting down is a line in the bell, not an email — you already had the lights-on mail.
On a phone, games get a little more of the screen, and Tic-Tac-Toe and Four in a Row always fit.
The front page questions talk about your people, screen sharing and all seven games.

🆚

v1.3.10

Screen sharing gets its own page, and a few honest comparisons

The front page shows screen sharing next to the games, with its own page on how it works.
Side-by-side pages: Let's Hang next to Google Meet, Zoom and a Discord voice channel — including what they do better.
The footer has a Compare column.

✉️

v1.3.9

Invite your people by email, and keep them

On a table's page, "Invite by email": type up to ten addresses, add a line from you, send. It comes from Let's Hang with your name, and replies go straight to you.
Everyone you invite lands in Your people (in the menu). Next time it is a tick away. Add a WhatsApp number and it opens WhatsApp with the invitation ready — you press send.
Kind to inboxes: ten at a time, thirty a day, never the same address twice a day for the same table, and a one-click "don't send me invitations" that is honoured for good.

❌

v1.3.8

Tic-Tac-Toe, and small fixes you asked for

A seventh game: Tic-Tac-Toe. Over in a minute; the bot blocks you and takes a win, but slips now and then so you can beat it.
The game picker shows the game you are on, and "Waiting for players" says which game it is waiting for.
Light and dark switch inside the room, too.
Oval tables are a little rounder, so they no longer look squeezed.
Labels on lit table cards are readable in the light theme again.

🖥️

v1.3.7

Share your screen, and tables that come back every week

Share your screen, a window or a tab from the video bar. It opens on the left as a third tab, Screen, next to Table and Games — fit it, zoom in up to 400%, or go full screen. Tab audio comes along.
Every week: tick it when you set a table, and once this week's is over the same table opens for next week and everyone who sat at it gets the link. Whoever can make it, comes.
A new page, Use cases: friends who live far apart, family across countries, a weekly game night, your community, a remote team. Each one opens the form already filled in.
New topics for tables: Friends and Family.
Fixed: message times in a room could stop showing after a game had been opened.

🏷️

v1.3.6

Every table gets an icon

Each table has its own app-style icon — its tabletop colour and pattern with the topic on top — in the room, on the table page, and as the browser tab icon, so you can find the right tab.
The games on the front page take turns: every game plays a little by itself, and the one showing lights up in the list beside it.
Type /leaderboard in a table's chat to tell everyone who has the most points.
While a room sits in a background tab, the number of new messages shows in the tab's title.
Games no longer squeeze a small table in beside the players — the names with the ring already say whose turn it is. The bottle keeps its big table, and got a little smaller.

🧠

v1.3.5

Pub Quiz

A new game for two to eight: a pub quiz. Everyone types their answer where nobody else can see it, then all the answers turn over at once — so shouting it out on the call does not help, and the quiet one who knew gets the point.
Ten questions from a mix of geography, science, tech, history, food, film, music, sport, words and nature. Small typos and swapped letters are forgiven; numbers have to be exact.
Forty-five seconds a question. If somebody wanders off, anyone can turn the answers over when the time is up.
Try it against two bots at letshang.io/demo, or type /quiz in a table's chat.

🔊

v1.3.4

Sounds, and nudges inside the page

Small sounds for the things worth hearing: a new message, somebody mentioning you, your turn, the dice, a disc dropping, chips on the felt, the bottle spinning and landing, a win.
One mute for all of it — the speaker button in the room and next to every game. It remembers your choice.
Toasts: when somebody mentions you while the chat is out of sight, or it is your turn while you are looking elsewhere, a card slides in with a button that takes you there. New notifications from the bell show up the same way on any page.

🍾

v1.3.3

The bottle spins on a real table

Spin the bottle is played on the same table you see everywhere else: everyone in their chair, the bottle in the middle. When it stops, the person it points at lights up.
A new bottle, too — glass, a label, a cork — and a little burst when it lands.
Every game shows the table small beside the players, with a glowing ring on whoever is on.
Private tables show up on the front page as locked cards: you see that they are happening, not what or who.
Table cards line up at the same height, the footer fits on one row, and the House table label is readable on dark cards.
Below the tables: what happened lately on one side, and the ten people with the most points on the other.
Ask the table to play from the chat: type /ludo, /poker, /four, /bottle or /chess (add @names to ask people), or pick a game from the new + button.
Switch to another game from the game itself. And when the last person walks away and only bots are left, the game clears so the table can pick something else.
The front page says "Save me a seat." again.

🔴

v1.3.2

Four in a Row, and a cleaner front page

A fifth game: Four in a Row. Tap a column, the disc drops, line up four. The bot takes a win when you leave one and blocks you when you are one away.
The home page leads with the one rule again: small hangouts that only happen when enough people join.
"Lately at the tables" shows only real people at real public tables — no bot wins, no practice rooms, no test tables.
Sign-in buttons no longer say "with Google" — an emailed code works just as well.

🍾

v1.3.1

Spin the bottle, and a room you can send to your people

A fourth game: spin the bottle. It points at somebody and hands them a question — would you rather, never have I ever, most likely to. No winner, no score, just the thing that makes a table talk.
The home page leads with opening a room and sending the link, because that works whether or not anybody else is here yet.
WhatsApp is the first share button, and every table now has a QR code for the people sitting next to you.
The home page shows what really happened at the tables lately — real seats, real games, nothing invented.

🔑

v1.3.0

A door for people without Google

The home moved to letshang.io. letshang.dev, the address bought on day one, now points here and every old link still works.
Sign in with a six-digit code we email you — no password, no Google account needed. The old Google button is still there, side by side.
The code lasts ten minutes, allows five tries, and one address can ask for five codes an hour.

🙋

v1.2.5

Small room manners

Hovering a face at the top of a room now tells you who it is — nickname, flag, and whether they host the table. Clicking still opens their card.
The room preview offers all three games, not just two.

🚪

v1.2.4

One door for the demo

The practice room lives at letshang.io/demo now — one address for all three games, with the game as a choice inside it. The old /play links still work.

🎮

v1.2.3

The practice room looks like the real thing

Switch between Ludo, poker and chess right in the practice room, and pick how many players.
The Video tab now plays a small preview of a call — four tiles, someone talking, one muted, the same controls — so you can see the room before you sit at a real table.

🪙

v1.2.2

Coins, and what was played here

Your points and wins sit in the corner of the games panel; the same button opens what was played at this table before.
Ending a game now really clears the room, so the table can pick a different one straight away.

🧭

v1.2.1

Room housekeeping

The chat opens on the last message and pulls older ones in as you scroll up, a page at a time.
A game can be ended so the table can pick another one — free once only bots are left in it, and always up to the host.

🧹

v1.2.0

A felt table, and a way to undo a table

Poker now looks the part: green felt, chips, a dealer button and cards that land.
A table nobody else sat at can be deleted outright. Once someone has a seat, calling it off stays the only way — they deserve to be told.

🃏

v1.1.9

Poker at the table

Texas hold'em for two to six, with play money and no clock: blinds, all four streets, side pots when stacks differ, and a showdown that says who won with what.
Your two cards are yours until the showdown — nobody else can see them, not even in the page.
Bots play a plain, friendly game, so a table of two can still deal a hand.
Try it against bots at /demo, or pick it when you set a table.

🤖

v1.1.8

Sit in for a bot

A game that already started is no longer a closed door: take a bot's seat and play on. Walked away by accident? Take your own seat back the same way.
The chat opens on the last message again, even when it was hidden behind the Video tab.
When something stops your message or your move, the room now says what and why.

👋

v1.1.7

Nudges that know what matters

Browser notifications now cover more than chat: someone mentioning you, your turn in a game, and anything new in the bell.
One switch for all of it, in Settings and in every room. It only nudges you while the tab is in the background.

🔔

v1.1.6

A bell instead of an inbox

Everything that happens around your tables now lands in a bell in the header, with the whole history on its own page.
Settings decides what also becomes an email: seats at tables you host, tables you sit at, reminders. Untick what you do not want.

🔔

v1.1.5

Quieter inbox, louder tab

The room can nudge you: turn on browser notifications with the bell and you'll hear about new messages while the tab is in the background.
Hosts no longer get an email for every single seat — at most one every two hours, and none at all while they are on the site. A full table is still always worth an email.
Fixed a stray word that leaked into the subject line of every email.
Our Discord is in the footer now, and new tables, signups and ideas land in it.

📐

v1.1.4

The call fills the room

Faces now fill the whole pane and arrange themselves: one person big, two side by side, four in a grid. Click someone to put them on the stage.
The buttons float over the video instead of taking a row, and the camera and microphone pickers open above them.
"Sit down" goes into our own room now, not to Google Meet.
The logo carries all three colours: lamp yellow, lilac and paper.

💛

v1.1.3

A new face, and a letter

New logo: three people leaning in around a table, in our ink, paper and lamp yellow. The tab icon is the same mark on a yellow tile.
The right side of a room is now Video or Chat, with the faces there by default. The table and the game keep the left side, and the chat is one click away.
Everyone who signs in for the first time gets a letter from Primož — what this place is for, and two things to try.

🔀

v1.1.2

The room, your way round

Faces can be bigger: one button turns the strip of cameras into a grid, and clicking someone puts them on the stage.
Signing in with Google works again for accounts with a long profile photo link.

🏆

v1.1.1

Points for showing up, and links you can say out loud

Points were rebalanced: sitting at a table that lights up is worth 10, hosting one 15, and a game against bots is worth 1. The whole list is on the new Points and status page.
Your card now shows a status — Newcomer, Regular, Familiar face, Host — and your streak of weeks in a row.
A public table can pick its own link: letshang.dev/h/friday-makers. Private tables keep their long secret one.
The room is easier to find: the table itself is now a door, with a button right under it that says when the video opens.

🚪

v1.1.0

Open a room right now

A third way to set a table: "Right now". The room opens this second — no minimum, no deadline. Share the link and people walk in. It stays open for three hours.
Live rooms sit at the top of Explore with a pulsing "Live now" mark.
Video got the controls you expect: blur what's behind you, and pick which camera and microphone to use.
With your camera off, people now see your drawn sitter instead of a letter.
No more yellow tabletops — the lamp yellow belongs to the lights, not the furniture.

💡

v1.0.8

A helper in the corner

Every page now has a lightbulb in the bottom corner. Ask it anything — it looks up real tables, tells you what's on this week, and points you to the right page.
Signed in, it can also grab or free a seat for you if you ask in plain words.
The second tab is for ideas: tell us what is missing or broken and it lands straight with Primož.
Your conversation with it is kept, so closing the panel no longer loses it — and "New chat" starts a fresh one.
Dark mode got a pass everywhere: the admin, the forms and every yellow badge are readable now.
The menu marks the page you are on.

🎥

v1.0.7

Video right at the table

Tables now have video built into the room — you stay on the page, next to the chat and the game. No Google Meet tab unless you want one.
It runs on our own server, so it works the same for everyone and nothing is recorded.

🌗

v1.0.6

Light or dark, your call

Choose light, dark or follow your system — the switch is in the header (and in the menu on phones).

🎲

v1.0.5

Ludo for up to six

Ludo now seats 2 to 6 players. Five or six get a round board; up to four keep the classic cross.
Practice Ludo against 1 to 5 bots — pick how many players.

🎲

v1.0.4

Games at the table

Every room has a Table / Games switch. Play Ludo (2–6) or chess (2) while you talk — the chat stays open.
Short a player? Add a friendly bot. Everyone else at the table can watch.
Wins earn points, shown on your card.
Try it without an account: a quick game against bots from the landing page.
When you set a table you can say which game it's about; it shows on the card.
Drag the divider in a room to give the table, the game or the chat more space.

🌍

v1.0.3

Find a time together

New way to set a table: pick a window of days, everyone marks the hours they can make in their own timezone, and we set the hour most people can make.
Your timezone now follows your browser automatically — also when you travel.

💬

v1.0.2

Rooms that feel alive

Each table has a room: the table with who's here lit up, name tags, a typing bubble, and the chat next to it.
Click someone to see their card and where they sit. Reactions with any emoji, mentions, /roll, /flip, /shrug.
Hosts can set a room topic and open the room 30 minutes early.
Report a message; the moderator bot takes another look, three reports hide it. Repeats, floods and links from brand-new accounts are blocked.
A room preview so you can see what you'd sit down to.

🔐

v1.0.1

Your tables, your rules

Chat-only tables: no camera, the room is right on the page.
Invite only: you approve every seat. Lock a table when your people are in.
Private tables get a longer secret link.
Upload your own photo, use your Google picture, or keep your drawn sitter.
Embed a table — or all the tables you host — on your own site.

💡

v1.0.0 · September 17, 2026 — day one

Let's Hang is live

Set a table about anything. It only happens if enough people sit down — then the lights go on, everyone gets a Google Meet link and a calendar invite.
Share cards with a live preview image, calendar view, "when I'm free" planner, Discord and Slack announcements, an API and an MCP server.
The name came mid-sentence in a Discord thread: letshang.dev was bought forty-five minutes later, and the site was live the same evening.

What's new.
