As I start working on this video game and posting my first devlog (woohoo!), I’m going to back up a bit to document some of the planning I did beforehand. After brainstorming and communicating with friends and family for weeks, I got a cohesive idea of what I want my game to look like. Here are some of the skethces and notes that I took!
My original plan for this game was to code it on a small raspberry-pi like device. Unfortunately, my hardware is aimed for educating students, the code editors are very limited, and the hardware even more so (6 second loading times for one image :0). After fighting with it for a long time, I’ve decided to change my plans and instead make the game on a website using the HTML5 canvas. This might impose some changes in my original plans, but I’m just glad my previous efforts won’t go to waste
Today was all about setting up the interface for the game. My goals were: -get the canvas in the middle of the screen -get the canvas to take up as much of the screen as it can without going over -support resizing the screen -support mobile interfaces -make the canvas slightly longer on mobile devices, so that it can leave room for a gamepad After way too long, I achieved two things. I discovered that HTML doesn’t like me, and I met all my requirements! As shown in the pictures, the website works on both mobile and desktop, it supports resizing, and there’s an extra white rectangle only on the mobile device. I even had time to make a cool gradient (nature themed) and make some test visuals. I’m very excited to work on the javascript section next!
Over the past couple of days, I’ve added some features so it really looks like I’ve got a website! This is my first time really coding in HTML or Javascript, so I’ve been doing a lot of research and learning a lot. Here is what I added: .

I built ChessHub, an interactive chess learning platform that combines multiple chess tools into one application. It includes features like a Board Visualizer, Chess Game Review, Chess Quiz, Endgame Puzzles, Guess The Elo, Learn Endgames, Opening Explorer, and Play Against AI. The goal of ChessHub is to make learning chess more interactive by helping players understand the ideas behind moves, improve their decision making, and explore different parts of the game. What was challenging? The most challenging part of creating ChessHub was combining many different chess systems into one working platform. I had to learn how to handle PGN files, create interactive chessboards, process chess positions, build analysis features, and solve many deployment issues. One of the biggest challenges was making the project reliable on Streamlit Cloud while dealing with chess engine limitations, APIs, and technical bugs. This was also the first time I ever used GitHub EVER! What am I proud of? I am most proud that ChessHub evolved from a simple opening recommendation project into a complete chess learning platform. I am proud of creating multiple interactive features, solving difficult technical problems, and building something that helps players learn chess concepts instead of just memorizing moves. Seeing all the different systems work together into one application has been the most rewarding part of the project. I am really happy that I was able to overcome the challenges and work through everything, even if it broke me :D. What should people know so they can test my project? People testing ChessHub should explore each feature because every section focuses on a different part of chess improvement. They can try exploring openings, reviewing their own PGN games, solving endgame challenges, testing their chess knowledge, and playing around with the different interactive tools. The app may take a few seconds to load some features, but users should experiment with different pages and games to see the full experience of ChessHub.", "repo": "https://github.com/Soomansh/Chess-Hub/tree/vercel-migration", "demo": "https://chess-hub-nextjs-q6q5vp398-soomansh.vercel.app/"}]...

I worked on improving the Chess Review system, removing the dependency issues with Stockfish, and moving toward a more cloud-based analysis approach so the app can run reliably on Streamlit Cloud.I also spent time debugging deployment problems, fixing errors, improving PGN handling, and making sure the different parts of ChessHub connect properly. Along with that, I worked on features like Guess The Elo, game loading, chessboard rendering, and improving the user experience. A lot of the time went into troubleshooting small issues, testing different solutions, and cleaning up the code so the project is more stable and easier to expand in the future.

I added a classifier to turn raw time controls (like 60+0 or 600+5) into readable labels like Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and Classical. This makes the overall experience more enjoyable… For example, Bullet games naturally have more blunders, while Classical games tend to look much higher quality, so the guessing becomes more realistic and skill based instead of random. Ok now time to take a break and touch grass :D
Not much of the time spent was tracked because I decided to revamp and restructure all of my GitHub, resulting in tons of commits and struggles along the way as I’m still new to github. After about 40 minutes to an hour, I finally managed to organize my repository and am satisfied with the outcome. I learned a lot about version control, commit history, and repository management during the process. It was frustrating at times, but seeing everything neatly structured and functional made it worth the effort. I plan to maintain this organization going forward to make future updates smoother and more efficient :D
Today I focused on improving the structure and deployment of Chess Hub. A MAJOR issue came from navigation between pages after deployment. Some parts worked locally but failed on Streamlit Cloud because page references and repository structure were not fully aligned. I spent time debugging file organization, checking GitHub uploads, and updating navigation paths. Additionally, I had to rewrite most of my code to work with Streamlit Cloud which was a pain :( Current progress: -Connected multiple tools through the homepage -Fixed navigation for several modules -Verified repository structure and deployment setup -Improved overall organization of the project -Continued testing cloud deployment behavior Modules currently integrated: -Chess Quiz -Opening Explorer -Board Visualizer -Play Against AI -Chess Game Review -Endgame Puzzles -Learn Endgames Challenges: -Maintaining consistent routing across many pages -Ensuring deployment behaves the same as local development -Managing project growth while keeping the structure organized Next steps: -Finish connecting remaining modules -Improve navigation and usability -Continue cleanup and testing -Refine the interface and overall user experience
I finally got most of my Chess Review app working after fixing several issues across deployment, engine setup, and analysis. I removed the need to upload Stockfish directly to GitHub by making the engine download automatically at runtime, which solved the file size limitation. I fixed the Stockfish initialization and path setup so it works correctly in Streamlit, added executable permissions for Linux environments, and cleaned up the loading flow to prevent crashes caused by analysis starting before the engine was ready. The full review pipeline is almost ready to run, and I’m continuing to improve the quality of the analysis and review system!
Hi everyone! I recently updated the Stockfish feature, and instead of running a local engine, which caused instability and frequent bugs, I have switched over to using the Lichess database. This change makes the entire system smoother, faster, and far more reliable, ensuring consistent evaluations without the headaches of engine crashes or performance issues. I finished all bugs involving the overall display and surface level usage and I am trying to solve deeper hard to fix bugs!
Hi Guys! I am back after a 1 month vacation! 🥳🥳🥳Over the past one month i have managed to spend about 14 hours working on ChessHub and getting the project back on track.I mainly focused on improving the overall structure of the app, fixing bugs, and making the different chess features work more smoothly. I worked on improving the Chess Review system, removing the dependency issues with Stockfish, and moving toward a more cloud-based analysis approach so the app can run reliably on Streamlit Cloud.I also spent time debugging deployment problems, fixing errors, improving PGN handling, and making sure the different parts of ChessHub connect properly. Along with that, I worked on features like Guess The Elo, game loading, chessboard rendering, and improving the user experience. A lot of the time went into troubleshooting small issues, testing different solutions, and cleaning up the code so the project is more stable and easier to expand in the future. After 14 hours of work, ChessHub is much closer to becoming the complete chess platform I imagined. Still a lot more to build, but progress is progress! ♟️🔥
Hello everyone! Yesterday and through today I migrated ChessHub from Streamlit to Next.js, React, and TypeScript to make the application compatible with Vercel deployment :D. I also updated the project structure and configuration, adapted the application for a modern web environment, and configured the deployment workflow to build and deploy from a separate vercel-migration branch while keeping the original Streamlit/Render versions on GitHub! I only spent around 30 minutes coding but transferring it took wayyy more time then I expected ;-; Sadly I had to use some AI to help with the html, css and TypeScript. This is how ChessHub looks now! —>
Ships:
What did I make? I built ChessHub, an interactive chess learning platform that combines multiple chess tools into one application. It includes features like a Board Visualizer, Chess Game Review, Chess Quiz, Endgame Puzzles, Guess The Elo, Learn Endgames, Opening Explorer, and Play Against AI. The goal of ChessHub is to make learning chess more interactive by helping players understand the ideas behind moves, improve their decision making, and explore different parts of the game. What was challenging? The most challenging part of creating ChessHub was combining many different chess systems into one working platform. I had to learn how to handle PGN files, create interactive chessboards, process chess positions, build analysis features, and solve many deployment issues. One of the biggest challenges was making the project reliable on Streamlit Cloud while dealing with chess engine limitations, APIs, and technical bugs. This was also the first time I ever used GitHub EVER! What am I proud of? I am most proud that ChessHub evolved from a simple opening recommendation project into a complete chess learning platform. I am proud of creating multiple interactive features, solving difficult technical problems, and building something that helps players learn chess concepts instead of just memorizing moves. Seeing all the different systems work together into one application has been the most rewarding part of the project. I am really happy that I was able to overcome the challenges and work through everything, even if it broke me :D. What should people know so they can test my project? People testing ChessHub should explore each feature because every section focuses on a different part of chess improvement. They can try exploring openings, reviewing their own PGN games, solving endgame challenges, testing their chess knowledge, and playing around with the different interactive tools. The app may take a few seconds to load some features, but users should experiment with different pages and games to see the full experience of ChessHub....
