This is Quiplibre, a Free Software alternative to Quiplash.
Quiplibre is available by viewing quiplibre.html in a web browser. You can either download the html file and view it locally, or visit https://wyattscarpenter.github.io/quiplibre/ on your phone or computer or whatever.
Once you are looking at quiplibre, you will be given a chance to host a new game or join a game as a player.
NOTE: You must be connected to the internet to play quiplibre.
Sure! Just open a hosting session, and then have each player including yourself open a joining session. Quiplibre is still mostly functional even without a "big screen" everyone can see.
Sure, just modify the prompts array in the html file. It's a big ol' list of prompts, named prompts. You must surround your prompt in quotation marks (either 'single' or "double") and after the closing quotation mark put a comma. Give it a shot!
You might want to make a copy of the unaltered prompts first and put it somewhere convenient, so you can go back to the default prompts easily.
So I notice this project is missing a lot of the bells and whistles of Quiplash, such as music, timers, colors, etc
Yeah, I couldn't be bothered. If you'd like to try to spruce Quiplibre up, go right ahead :)

Games that are like Quiplash could perhaps be called "quip games" or "quiplikes". At time of writing (2023-09-07) here are the quiplikes I know about:
- alternativeto.net lists 16 alternatives to quiplash, many of them quiplikes, including this one https://alternativeto.net/software/quiplash/
- Quibbl.in, although I get the impression that it is now defunct
- QwiqWit.com, also described here: http://paulwind.com/work/qwiqwit
- there are several versions of Quiplash published by Jackbox Games, which I guess are technically quiplikes
- the various forks of Quiplibre are cool! I haven't looked over them in depth, but some of them probably have better UX than Quiplibre itself https://github.com/wyattscarpenter/quiplibre/forks?include=active&page=1&period=&sort_by=stargazer_counts
- there are various quiplash-related repos on github, some of them apparently open source quiplikes, which is nice :) https://github.com/search?q=quiplash&type=repositories
- there may have been, in human history, various times at which someone invented "write funny answers to amusing prompts" as a game, but I haven't looked into it.
