## What it is
NESHouse is an open source, NES-style (retro 8-bit) implementation of Clubhouse for hosting live audio chat rooms. It is a front-end application built with Alpine.js, Bulma CSS, and NES.css, relying on Agora for real-time audio and LeanCloud for backend services.

## Use cases
- host live audio chat rooms like clubhouse
- self-host an open source clubhouse alternative
- run a voice discussion room with multiple hosts
- let audience members request to speak in a live room
- moderate speakers with admin ban controls
- share invite links to a live audio room

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, open source social audio platform
- you like a retro NES visual style for your live rooms
- you need multi-host audio rooms with audience hand-raising and admin moderation
- you are okay depending on Agora and LeanCloud services

## When to avoid
- you need a fully self-contained solution without third-party services like Agora or LeanCloud
- you need video streaming rather than audio-only rooms
- you need a mobile app rather than a web front end
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
