well for one, I didn’t know Lichess was open source.

But for another, even for an open-source project, I love the super public-but-detailed approach to this bug solving. It almost feels like a bounty.



There are various types of open source projects.

Some are more closed, some are more open.

Lichess historically has been closed, and they have only reached out to the community for help in the past as a last ditch effort when everything else has failed.

Its not that detailed either.


On the one hand, it's written on the home page. https://lichess.org/

On the other hand, there is a lot of chesscom-style clutter there no one wants (animations of random other games)
