I've been building a boardgame.io projecy and I find the documentation hard to follow the typescript definition lacking and the framework rigid and tricky to get right. its a shame since the promise of building a board game in a quick and simple way was enticing but the framework doesn't live up to it. perhaps I'm missing something, please prove me wrong.

I am also a boardgame.io maintainer, so happy to hear feedback about it too.

I think the framework has some gotchas and there are some improvements to be made (i.e. the whole thing about player being a string), but I still think it benefits a lot my productivity compared to doing it from scratch. Happy to hear in what cases you think otherwise.
