I am creating a Lichess fork where the login will use Nostr keys, and the playing pool will consist entirely of rating calibrated Maia bots. I think there is a desire for people to play human-like bots because they are sick of cheating and bad behavior from humans. I will also be adding multiple stacked premoves, and Maia analysis alongside Stockfish. #chess
By the way I love Lichess and this project is if anything an homage to it. The idea is that people will use it when they want to practice on bots and then return to Lichess to play humans. #chess #lichess #maia (yes you can play bots on Lichess but they're not in the pool. With my project you'll be getting paired with random bots within your rating range and fighting for elo)

AI fixes this
If you post about a tree falling on Nostr, does it make a sound?
I don't know what is worse, the downvotes on Reddit or the crickets on Nostr
Mobile Maia is now available as a Progressive Web App:
So iOS users can use it or Android users who don't have Obtanium/F-droid.
It uses the 5M model and is obviously not as snappy or stable as the Android app.
But the UI is pretty much the same so it allows someone to try Mobile Maia and see if they like it before deciding to ditch Apple and upgrade to Android, or whatever.
Entire website is FOSS:

Is it normal for releases not to be updated in the Zapstore for over 24 hours?
Have decided to use Flotilla for a community chat space for Mobile Maia. Other Maia chess related projects generally use Discord.
Discord is fine in my experience but what are we doing if we are just further entrenching closed/centralized platforms?
I am heavily reliant on GitHub for the project (to say nothing of Codex) so I know some degree of comprise is inevitable. I would love to move away from GitHub too at some point, and of course, the dream is local free and open LLMs/agents.
What is the normal timeframe for an app to be updated in Zapstore? I submitted an update to Mobile Maia from 2.4 to 2.5 (and then 2.5.1 after finding a post release bug) 12 hours ago and it's still not showing up. The metadata was updated however.


Mobile Maia 2.4 released. Lots of improvements to Maia engine settings.
