Programming a live chess site

Sort:
Vortex_85

Hi, I'm currently working on programming a chess-site like Chess.com, or lichess. Its called 'Ex-Chess' (feel free to suggest a better name!), and for the programmers, I'm making it in node.js, using socket.io, and html/css/js for frontend.
The site cannot be played rn because I am locally hosting it, when it goes online, T will send a link happy
currently you can:
- Login, and signup
- Play live chess with someone
- Play vs stockfish 16
- Change board themes
- View other user's profiles

I am open to Messages or discord dms (@_vortex8_), if you have any suggestions, or want to contribute, feel free to tell me!

Hi ,

Wow this is a great project that was on my TODO list but still didn't start it but here you are ;

Is it published yet or not , and are you using React or Next.js or what ? I'm a dev just like u brother ,🗿🗿

I have an additional Idea if you want to work on it: it is to add like study feature of lichess to it + game reviews and other premium features of chesscom for free 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

no I'm just using normal html/css/js, but i have been thinking to switch to react, but I don't know that much react, so maybe in a future update

No need for this comment. You probably couldn't do better. Let him do what he likes.

what is there to suggest? make your site online and put a feedback button in it. collect usage informations, analyze them.. what can i say about something imaginary, I need to use it to talk about

Hi, your project Ex-Chess sounds exciting! For a better name, maybe consider "NextMoveChess"? Once you're ready to go online, you might need a cheap virtual server to host it. HostNoc offers great solutions for this. Feel free to reach out if you need suggestions or help. Good luck with your development!
