Original creator of boardgame.io here. A pleasant surprise to see this here after many years.

More recently, I've been working on https://boardgamelab.app/, which uses a visual programming language to model game rules while also taking care of the UI layer.

The boardgamelab.app looks like a stealth, proprietary project; at least at the moment its T&C[1] says: "under this license you may not (...) use the materials for any commercial purpose, or for any public display (commercial or non-commercial)".

Do you have any plans for the business model?

What do you mean by stealth? I looked at the website and nothing about it makes it look like it would necessarily be free or open source.

Still needs clearer language IMO.

I just checked and it says MIT licensed. What am I missing?

I think you might be conflating boardgame.io and boardgamelab.app.

boardgame.io - MIT licensed open-source JS library.

boardgamelab.app - Proprietary platform for designing and playtesting board games.
