It isn't entirely clear to me what this is. Maybe I've got too much DynamicLand on the brain, but I was picturing using a projector (aimed down) to play games on a tabletop, and wondering how you were doing input, etc.

"Screentop is a digital platform for tabletop gaming. Choose a game, invite friends, and start playing directly in your browser." Is there actually any 'tabletop' in the gaming? Is it for playing virtual (tabletop) boardgames? Do you play with your friends over the internet, or is it a local multiplayer situation?

I'm sure the answers to these questions are painfully obvious to you, but as a visitor to the site, an about page to help orient me would be much appreciated. :-)

Yeah I need to clean up the marketing a bit!

For now try it out by clicking the Play button on one of the games such as: https://screentop.gg/@BrotherMingGames/code-geass

Also just posted a few screenshots on the product hunt page which may help clarify: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/screentop-gg

Is there mobile support? I tried to play with the 52 card deck on Firefox for Android and nothing was responding to my tapping.

I second the call for having more info on the site about what this is, it looks very interesting
