its amazing how lichess can continue making such a high quality chess server while being free for everyone and a charity.

[JakobMusic]

Lichess is BY FAR the greatest Chess site on the internet.
It's also one of the best and coolest open source projects in general.

It's a blessing in many ways. Thank you!
I'm gonna setup the dev environment and see if I can do something more than just being a patron. This project deserves love.
