    Roblox and the Unreal Editor for Fortnite sure are popular, but you know what would be better?

    An open source project, where creators can actually own what they make rather than being attached to Roblox and Fortnite.

    Akin to “Figma” for game development, The Mirror is both tool and editor that let’s you edit a game with friends in real-time.

    This saves you time: imagine not having to write pesky things like infrastructure, backend code, asset management, and various systems from scratch.

    Considering that Roblox recently blocked Wine+Linux, and Fortnite has never worked on Linux, this is interesting.

    And now, The Mirror itself has been made open source and you can check it out on GitHub (MIT License).
