lichobile VS online-go.com

A few months ago, news broke that Lichess now has a full-time developer for the mobile app. How can I track the development status of the Lichess Mobile App? What features are planned, is there a roadmap? I can't see anything about it on the github page.

I guess that you can keep an eye on the official page: https://lichess.org/mobile

At least on when using the app [this Lichess bug](https://github.com/lichess-org/lichobile/issues/1027) prevents playing any blitz games without taking a bigger rating hit.

lichess (version 7.16.1): free online chess

I have been using the official Android client ( https://github.com/lichess-org/lichobile ), and the only feature I use is anonymous "Quick pairing" games. That is, I do not log into Lichess. The official client does not require login.

It works on the website (desktop and mobile). It will be available in the app soon.

I submitted a PR (for the non-developers: programming code change suggestion) that made the game events emit haptic feedback.

Lichess is actually open source, the mobile app is written in a mixture of typescript, swift and kotlin using ionic capacitor to access the native sdk. I don’t really know the differences between ionic and react native but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be possible to write it using the latter. Mind you that the mobile front end it’s just one of the many blocks that constitute the lichess app as a whole

OGS is the closest thing I’ve found to lichess but it’s quite good! https://online-go.com/

That's nuts. I'll be honest online-go.com is my least favorite server to play on. Unfortunately it's one of the only ones that doesn't require software installation so it's easy to recommend to new players.

In 2016, I thought I'd give up on playing Go, seeing that our tree searching overlords beat us in every which way. Funny thing is, I'm playing a game right now [1].

Hey guys, I own Gomoku.com domain and the site (currently down) very similar to https://online-go.com/ I no longer have the time to maintain or try to grow it, if anyone is interested taking it over let me know!

and also, https://online-go.com (OGS) is the best English server for playing online and getting a rank.

https://online-go.com/ is the most popular English server, called OGS. It's pretty good.

OGS (https://online-go.com)

OGS is open source, anyone can contribute to their github repository and it's in need of developers - almost 200 open issues. It's likely easier to gain traction and more beneficial to the go community compared to starting from scratch.

OGS probably has the largest pool of English-speaking beginners. https://online-go.com/ It's a web app, so it's very easy to get signed up and playing.

Also, I'd suggest trying to switch to human players pretty soon (online-go.com is the place to be for that), AIs and weak AIs will play with a lot of strange and bad moves, and playing against too many of them might give you bad habits.
