What it does
Chess has always been played face to face. Somehow the internet took that away. Chessorix brings it back. It is the only chess platform where you see and talk to your opponent live via real video during the game, not a profile picture, not a username, but an actual human being sitting across from you. Every move hits different when you can watch your opponent's face. Every blunder, every brilliant sacrifice, every checkmate lands with real weight. Match with strangers worldwide or friends!

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
