Lichess is one of those things you just have to sit and appreciate like a fine wine. It's absolutely wonderful for people in the chess community. I use it every day and am inspired by the functionality and performance, especially knowing it's a 1-2 person shop with limited budget.

You forgot to mention that it's free, open source, and doesn't nor will ever ask for your money, and a lot of people donate. Their expenses are public. It's also available as an app !

I wish more open source end-user software learned from Lichess, in terms of how user friendly, well designed and well maintained it is.

Me too. Recently the new beta mobile app is even cleaner and has haptic feedback which is so cool.

I gotta be honest: I aspire to create something as valuable and as cool as lichess one day.
