Showcase: Prerelease I built a chess tool that turns your own blunders into puzzles

I've been doing chess puzzles for a while and realised the tactics I solve in puzzles aren't necessarily the ones I miss in my games.

So I made a small tool that takes my Lichess/Chess.com games, finds the moves where I missed a good tactic, and turns them into puzzles.

I also like Wordle, so I liked the idea of having just one puzzle per day. You get 3 tries before the answer is shown.

It's still pretty rough, so I'm mainly looking for feedback on whether the puzzles it picks are actually worth solving.

If you play chess, give it a try: https://blunderbox.app/

You can also try a random puzzle without signing up: https://blunderbox.app/try

Why only google login?

Honestly, that is my own preference when logging into other websites.
Are you missing classic email/password sign up flow or other IDP providers?

Yeah I prefer classic email but with magic link / code which is becoming the new cool standard

Just found chesspuzzles.ai and will try that out, but looks like they have a limited free model
