It's a simple PGN app to help capturing chess notation from score sheet and fix the mistakes
Often my son and I made mistakes (mixing up b and B, or wrong rank, missing some moves) writing the notations and existing PGN parser simply stop at the first error and discard the rest. ChessNotate highlights the error while maintaining the original moves so you can see if your fix is actually fixes the remaining of the moves (or not)
Used it in the recent chess tournament and it's been really helpful
Hi HN! I just built ChessNotate to turn my handwritten chess scoresheet into a clean PGN to solve my own pain points when it comes to capturing my games (and my son's)A lot of times my son and I make typos (accidentally mixing up B with b), or missing out moves through the middlegame and the frustrating part is when I try to validate it using PGN validator, if the PGN is invalid, it either...

Interesting challenge was designing for minimal distractions while keeping setup simple for parents. Timer-locked navigation so kids can see what's next but can't start other tasks or switch profiles. Also refactored from schedule-centric (nightmare to maintain) to task-definitions as first-class citizens, which made creating schedules way easier
React Native/Expo + Firebase. On the App Store after months of dogfooding with the family
For context: my older son genuinely enjoys chess and piano, and this structured schedule approach was recommended by their child psychologist. We tried paper-based scheduling but it didn't stick, so my wife asked me to build an app to help
Your point about useful adult skills is well taken. The hope is they internalise the habit of planning and following through, so eventually they can set their own schedules. We'll see how it goes
Photo proof actually was my wife's idea. She wanted to verify the task quality when she wasn't at home - similar to your audit capability
I guess the 12year old battles will be coming for me next.. Not exactly looking forward to the puberty haha
The goal is to keep them focused on one thing at a time without the temptation to jump around :)
So at least it works for my family, and just like you said, it's a huge win by itself :)
Hi HN! I built Oh Yah! to help my sons (age 7 and 10) stick to daily routines without constant reminders. The core idea: minimal distractions during tasks by locking navigation when a timer is running, plus optional photo-based task completion for accountabilityBuilt with React Native/Expo and Firebase. The trickiest part was designing the UX to be simple enough for kids with minimal...

Hi HN! I just built chessterm, a Rust-powered TUI chess engine to practice chess notation (PGN) for an upcoming chess competition. This was also a way for me to learn Rust more deeply, particularly bitboards for move generation and terminal UI development with ratatuiUnlike typical chess UIs that wrap around Stockfish, this is built completely from scratch, with: - PGN-only input (no AI, just...
