Sometimes the best software is no software. You can do this without some emojified github readme, the text editor your messenger uses will be just fine.
(If you're not a beginner it's probably fine to just use "algebraic" notation anyway.)
I thought it would at least read the slack websocket and send slack messages. Having to copy paste is horrible.
It's not very hard, you can take inspiration from my project "localslackirc", it even has a tool to extract the slack token from firefox's cookies (if you copy paste code, keep in mind it's GPL licensed).
Didn’t expect to see this on HN. Thanks for checking it out though. Not a developer, just a lawyer at GitHub, this repo was me playing around with the GitHub Spark tool.
It would be cool to encode the chess board state and turn into the URL so you could hurl urls back and forth over slack to play chess just by clicking on it
but there's something charming about the ascii art over slack in this project that would miss
making a move should automatically copy the new url to your clipboard. you can still keep the ascii charm by server side rendering the ascii chess board as an og description.
