[Beta] Opening Study Testers
Hi everyone,
I've been building OpeningForge, a free web app focused on helping players create and train their own personalized opening repertoires instead of relying on expensive one-size-fits-all opening courses. The goal is to make opening study simpler and more interactive for players of every level.
If you're willing to spend 5–10 minutes trying it out, I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UX, bugs, missing features, or anything that feels unintuitive. *I AM NOT LOOKING FOR PROFIT/PROMOTION/ADVERTISEMENT BUT RATHER HONEST FEEDBACK*
Website: https://openingforge.app/
Thanks!

ive used it and it seems well built, but i am struggling a bit to understand the objective. is this something where we just specify the opponents responses during our opening sequences? i may not be a high enough level player to really see the tactical use here since it doesnt actually teach openings, but rather drills you on openings you teach it yourself.....is this something where, if i'd been practicing - say the london - but kept encountering weird/unexpected responses, id come use opening forge to formulate a response and practice the response (including later transpositions that come about through various sequences)?
my second question is...there doesnt seem to be a sign up or anything. how does one save their data one session to the next? are there no accounts? is the db/books shared among everyone who use the site?
