A simple chess client

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.

react-native-chess's Issues

Wesocket return 1005 error

The Websocket is returning 1005 for some reason on android and web.

Now I am trying to look at the API and saw section board. But as the URLs are not websocket I am unable to make the connection stay open.

If you have time to look for this, and help understanding how this work it will really be great.
