Show HN: Mouse.party

Mouse.party is a web-based tool that allows users to control multiple computer cursors simultaneously from a single mouse and keyboard, enabling collaborative or multi-pointer interactions on a shared screen.

Background

Mouse.party is a lightweight multiplayer web game where players control colored dots with their mouse cursors on a shared canvas. It's part of a long tradition of "cursor party" or "mouse party" experiments — simple real-time social web apps that let strangers or friends move cursors together, often used for anonymous play, art, or just ambient social connection. These kinds of projects gained popularity on Hacker News ("Show HN" posts) and platforms like Reddit as creative, low-stakes uses of WebSocket or real-time web technologies. The game usually has no accounts, no chat, and no goal — just collective cursor movement on a screen.
