New Chess Web Server

I am looking for a few volunteers to play a few chess games with me on my real time chess web server(like lichess) I wrote. Please message me if you are interested and we can schedule a time to meet and play.

Why not, I'm in.

Me too. Count me in for a game.

sounds interesting, is it open source like lichess though?

I am interested :P

I would also like to play some games and have a look at it ;-)

flugsio, Its closed source but its free to play with no ads and it will remain that way.

I did some research on the whole closed source vs open source. I enjoy the extra security of closed source, but I would open source it if people would be interested in contributing, but then again I don't see why I can't just invite people into the private repo to contribute in secret.

#7 no worries, I'm not really a chess player, was mostly interested because i wanted to peak at the code.

When I started out coding I was also skeptical to open source, but I found a really interested open source project and learned so much from it. Today I'm very happy that I left the dark side.

Open source is mainly not for getting contributors, but also if you are not doing that you can pretty much be sure to not get any contributors; which would probably be for the best, because the code would probably leak out in some way accidental or not and then all the security by obscurity would be gone.

:edited:

I think I would like to play but are there variants on your website?

I have official open source my chess web server today. The programming language is Golang.

Enjoy!
