Comment on Play chess via Slack DMs or SMS using an ASCII board

Comments

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

this is the way to go!

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.

made a non-ascii of this where nice og images of the board are generated!
