That's cool! How did you make it?

It was originally vanilla JS on the front-end but I changed to Vue.js because it was really inconvenient without something like that. Vue has its own caveats but they're less annoying than nothing. The backend is a single free-tier EC2 server running a single Node.js process, using Websockets. Everything is custom except a canned websocket lib (and Vue).

From what I can see it uses VueJS for the UI and websockets for server communication. I would bet that the backend is in NodeJS :).
