Rare "bipartisan" win: Lichess tweets about a Chess.com stream and Chess.com acknowledges
Pychess seems to be maintained by a completely separate entity. The name is also incredibly badly chosen, because PyChess is a well-known, unrelated interface GUI written in Python + GTK.

Chess GUI for Ubuntu
I am Using Ubuntu 20.04 and want a chess GUI, tried Pychess, but it sadly doesn't work with editing time control, so I created a issue https://github.com/pychess/pychess/issues/1910. Can someone please help me to find an alternative chess GUI instead of pychess for me?

Why would anyone play on Chess.com? It's an ad-ridden, cluster#$%& of an eyesore to look at, especially compared to the clean look of Lichess. I just don't get it.
We have https://prettierlichess.github.io/ though, and both vanilla Lichess and chess.com look horrible compared to it.

The difference between lichess and chess.com
I also do not consider the Lichess UI to be a perfect example of good design, but I do slightly prefer it - to me chesscom interface seems to have been built for kids. I do consider them both far from beig good though, and I do use the prettier lichess extension that is truly a marvel of good design: modern, beautiful, and professional.

The best design I got is actually by using the Prettier Lichess extension. It's modern, clean, professional, beautiful, to a point it baffles me that this isn't the default on Lichess.
- Do you think Chess.com and Lichess board designs are good or bad?

Beautiful lichess layout | Thank you Prettier Lichess!
For anyone else wondering, it looks like it's this browser addon: https://prettierlichess.github.io/
- what improvement would you like to see on lichess?

This guy when i asked for a takeback after a mouseslip
I disagree. The app is far besser, but the website is trash imo. Everything just icons, you can't remember where what is, the UI on the sidebar and not the top. And it's generally very unorganized. Plus: you can install a browser extensions for Lichess that makes it look more modern. Using this engine you can also customize pretty much every color of the UI. There is a large library of already available themes too.

Lichess should modernize their UI!
I just found out about this addon for the browser: https://prettierlichess.github.io/. It essentially completely revampts the Lichess UI while keeping 100% of the functionality. It also lets you configure all colors of basically every UI element. You can do crazy theming like this.
- I’m pretty new to chess so this might be a super stupid question, but how was this win given to white? I lost 40 points cause of it
