I bit the bullet and got a subscription. The game analysis feature is really good (I guess you can just run that client-side in theory? I don't know), and the lesson content feels worth it for me. And stuff like 4-player chess is fun.

The main homepage is a huge mess though...

Indeed, this is how Lichess (optionally) does it (for free).

They also offer server-side rendering as well (provided by volunteers through fishnet): https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet
