AsyncPoker – Turn-Based Poker with Friends

I’m 36 now and longing for the late nights playing poker with the boys. We’re so busy with families/careers that getting a game is never going to happen. So I had the idea of Turn-Based Poker, like Words With Friends but for Hold’em. Get a push notification when it’s your turn to act, so we can play on the train, between meetings, on the toilet, etc. It's built entirely on Expo + React Native + Firebase with a NextJS backend. I wrote a custom animation engine on top of React Native to render the card animations. Hope you like it!
