This is Chess Now! An open-source (soon!) API to control chess games. The idea is for anyone to be able to create and integrate their apps and be able to control the games from there. This also means that you could be playing on App1 while your opponent can be playing on App2, as the server-side is shared between them.

I’ve added the whole auth flow and database integration. Better Auth really helped a lot in this regard, the docs were awesome.

I used some templates for the hero and login/signup flow as I don’t have almost any experience with frontend development (and a side-goal for me is to not use AI for codegen while making this project), though I’ve been learning a LOT about frontend doing this.

I’ll begin planning the whole API structure, I still don’t know where to begin hahah
