not sure why, but the page takes 15+ seconds to load

small UI advice: the "Sign in with Google" button has a different border-radius than the rest of the page — might be worth matching it for consistency

maybe it's a dns issue with name server. Try https://www.chess-notation.com/

Truly touching.

endless mode would be nice - you play until you make a mistake. How many historical events are available?

An endless mode could be implemented with a difficulty curve that increases gradually by introducing more obscure events or events with closer dates as the player progresses.

nice! I was looking for a tool like this a while ago. All I could find were either nice paid ones or some pretty crappy free options. I have to shamefully admit I ended up using the free version of Pika and just cropped out the watermark :D Yours looks solid and free. I'd suggest adding a few things like slider for corner radius, shadows, and frames (like macOS, browser, etc.)."

glad you liked it. In bottom navbar, there is "Border" section where you can adjust border radius, color. If possible follow me on my socials so I can provide updates and receive feedback. my dm's are always open :)

this is actually a brilliant idea. I can see it being available in every city around the world in a couple of years

what's the total cost of building this? and how long would it take?

Total cost is roughly $110 USD, but there are a couple caveats to that price:

  - some parts are sold in multiples, so you'll have to buy several even if you only need one for the build
  - I ordered the electronics from JLCPCB where the minimum order quantity is 5 (minimum assembled is 2). At a quantity of 5 assembled, the LED board is ~$12/board and the mainboard is ~$41/board. If you're comfortable with SMD soldering, you can order bare PCBs and parts and do it for much cheaper by assembling only one of each board. You can find some more details here: https://oasis-terrarium.com/docs/electronics/#how-to-get-them. And a history of my JLCPCB orders including costs here: https://oasis-terrarium.com/docs/electronics/#pcb-order-history

With those caveats in mind, the rough breakdown is:

  - custom electronics: $53
  - 3D-printed parts (~600g of PETG): $12
  - other parts: $46

As for build time:

  - acquiring/assembling electronics: this can vary a lot depending on whether you buy assembled or do it yourself
  - 3D-printing: depending on your printer, maybe 2 solid days of printing
  - waterproofing 3D-printed parts: takes ~15 minutes to do and 24hrs for the epoxy to cure
  - final assembly: 30-60 minutes

Beautiful. Not gonna lie, a single tear was shed.

Installed, thanks!
