This repo contains the source code for sharechess.github.io.
ShareChess is a free, open source website that allows you to share chess games as self-contained replay links (the whole game is stored in the url without the need for a database), PNG images, or GIF / MP4 / WebM animations.
The website provides a high variety of chessboard and piece designs to serve as an open alternative for commercial chess GIF makers.
Latest build is available on github.com/sharechess/sharechess.github.io and is ready to deploy on any hosting service (if you want to self-host the project).
For development:
- fork this repo and clone the fork to your local environment,
- go to the project's directory and run
npm i(requires Node 16 LTS or higher, available here), - run
npm start- it will start the development server, - start coding ;)
