Archived project. No maintenance.

Lichess didn't have an API when I built this project years ago. So I had to reverse engineer their websocket communication. This has surprisingly worked well over the years until recently.

So this project needs a rewrite using Lichess API and latest dependencies to work. I'm archiving it since I don't have any free time to invest nowadays.

Thank you for your interest!

react-native-chess

This is a simple chess client I built as a school project. It uses awesome Lichess platform as backend and puzzle sources.

The app is functional but codebase is unfortunately not clean. I want to improve the code quality and refactor duplicate code when I have some free time.
