Notice: As of July 2025, this is the official NameGame codebase. The AspiringX org has various other namegame repos that people were using for learning/trying different languages and features, etc. When this goes live, we'll retire those to avoid confusion.
Life is relationships
NameGame makes it fun for people in a group to meet, remember names, get acquainted, communicate, and do stuff together.
NameGame is an open source AspiringX project. If you're in software (engineer, UX, product management, etc.) and want to contribute, mentor, and/or learn by being part of this project, contact me (Joe Tippetts) on LinkedIn.
