This club is primarily for building projects using the site's API. That said, it's a pretty safe bet the site built it's own chessboard code.
I agree with @ubermanmind13 you can just make your own chess library (I've done my own for 4 player chess, and it works great).

Did it take you long to do? I am thinking that the chessboard.js setup is all there ready to use. I just need to learn how to modify it so that it works under React.

@jon123456 if you start on open source project, I would probably contribute ( I have lots of experience with react/node TS). I don't want to speak for everybody but I am sure there are many people here that would also want to help.

@ubermanmind13 I am pretty inexperienced at this stage. Just started learning JavaScript and React in November so I am winging a lot of this stuff. I don't know how to open a source project.

oh, gotcha. Well, then I would say definitely start on an open-source project that is the best way to learn! Is to write code, put it up for review and have much more experienced engineers give you good tips to learn!
Get started on github.com. Create a repository and bootstrap it from there. If you share the link I'm sure you'll generate buzz.
I want to create a chess app using react and javascript and I am getting in a pickle over which library to use. I've been looking at chessboardjs but that seems to be javascript with some issues using it with react. chessboardjsx is unmaintained, so I wonder if there are any risks.
My project is for me to improve my 'early days' react and javascript skills, but ultimately I would like to create the site into something with a paid membership element to it. I don't know what you call them: free version and paid. Freemium? Anyways, I spent all day on looking at the different boards out there and I am going round and round in circles. Any suggestions?
I presume Chess.com is using chessboard.js with chess.js, although I am obviously not sure. And perhaps they are using React too? Anyone know the answers to these?
