It's very silly that they didn't include a desktop experience or at LEAST an explanation that you can only use it on your phone.

Bottom right corner says, join on your phone.
Ehh, I don't know if that counts. Lots of sites want me to join on my phone or download an app, even though they are desktop compatible.

I'm irked when companies go for this form of anti-documentation. It 1) makes me feel dumb 2) wastes my time 3) I'll eventually figure out what you're not telling me, so you might as well cut to the chase.

It seems "Join on your phone at paperplanes.world" actually means 'Join on your phone with Chrome browser at paterplanes.world'

Firefox is my primary browser even on Android. It didn't work on it, so I suspected and tried it on Chrome. It works there.

I was actually impressed by the desktop experience. It looked and sounded beautiful.

It was successful too. I pulled out my phone.

it's not that silly. We're mostly all developers so its easy to forget but most people dont have desktop computers nowadays. Mobile is the primary experience for many people.
And remember what it was like when they did have desktops?! Thank the gods they use their phones instead now. Leave the desktops to those who know how to actually use a computer.
