About 2048.now

From the Original 2048 to This Platform
The short version: 2048 was written by Italian developer Gabriele Cirulli over a weekend in March 2014, released free and open-source, and went viral within days. Because the source was public, hundreds of variants followed, and by the 2020s communities such as r/2048 were tracking personal bests and challenge runs - With no central place to compete. That gap is why 2048.now exists. For the full story, see about 2048: history and origins and who created 2048.
