Profile

I've been playing chess for a few years with my ELO stuck around 1600 on Lichess. I wanted an app that combined puzzle training, interactive lessons, game analysis, and AI coaching in one place. But all the apps I used over the years either felt overwhelming, had UX that wasn't up to my expectations for a modern app or were lacking some fundamental features that I really wanted. So, I built LearnChess.ai.The technical angle I'm most excited about: it's built local-first using LiveStore (event-sourced, SQLite on-device), which means zero loading delays for user data and full offline support. Sync to the cloud happens in the background for cross-device usage. The stack is TanStack Start (web),

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
