v0.1.2 Technology Preview (AwesomeAtti)

[AwesomeAtti]

Technology Preview — this release is still under active development and contains bugs or incomplete features. See the assets below to download and install this version.

macOS builds are still unsigned, so right-click → Open on first launch or Gatekeeper will look at you like you tried to sneak a phone into a testing room. Download below. Go outside eventually. Thanks for playing along with a chess app that's still very much under construction. 🏗️

v0.1.2 — patch notes, no cap 🐴

Yo. We shipped stuff. This is not a drill, this is a Technology Preview, which is legal-speak for "it might fall over but we PROMISE it's giving main character energy." Bugs may be present. We are not scared of them. They should be scared of us.

🔥 Chess.com import is REAL now (we do not larp anymore)

Add Games → Online tab used to be straight up cosplaying an import. Fake. Simulated. NPC behavior. Not anymore. It now yeets your ENTIRE Chess.com account — every single game, no cap — straight into your library using Chess.com's actual API, like a big boy app. Run it again later and it only grabs the new stuff, because we're efficient like that, we don't do allocated homework at 11:58pm, we do it ahead of time (lie, we did not).

Lichess still fake though. It's giving "the group project member who said they'd do the slides." We see you, Lichess guy. Working on it.

🧠 The PWA got a whole brain transplant

The browser version used to store your data in IndexedDB, which is the databases equivalent of hiding your diary under the mattress. We moved it to OPFS running SQLite in its own dedicated worker thread, which is just a fancy way of saying your games now live in an actual vault instead of a Jenga tower held together by vibes.

Also: if you open the app in two tabs at once like a menace, it now pops up a little sign that's basically "ONE (1) king per board, sir." Very polite about it. Very final about it.

📈 PWA said "let me catch up to desktop" and DELIVERED

Tags, favourites, collections — these used to just... update on your screen and then ✨forget✨ the second you closed the tab. Ghosted you, honestly. Now they actually write to the database like a functioning piece of software. The Explorer tab also stopped making up statistics (it was mock data this whole time, we're so sorry, it was lying to your face) and your very first Sample Games library now bootstraps for real instead of being a cardboard cutout of a database.

🌐 New website, who dis

plyvio.app got a full glow-up. Real screenshots. Both themes. It looks like a website that respects itself now instead of a Geocities fever dream (affectionate). Real domain too.

🐛 Bug fixes (the unsexy but crucial arc)

• Importing THOUSANDS of games used to just silently die halfway through and say nothing about it, very mysterious, very "we need to talk" energy. Fixed — it chunks the writes now so SQLite doesn't have a meltdown.
• Some imported games showed blank Elo and Move counts, like the app just forgot how numbers work for a sec. Numbers are back. We stan numeracy.
• The Chess.com/Lichess picker used to show "cc" and "li" like some cursed abbreviation instead of the actual logos. It has read the brand guidelines now.
• "No games found" errors used to just shrug and not tell you which account failed. Now it actually says the name. Communication is key, as my Life Skills teacher would say.
