Lichess Import

Added importing games from last 1 year into db by calling the lichess api and streaming the games in ndjson after getting the token. Didn’t import the pgn cuz json gave me the moves and thats enough. Next, either imma implement chess.com import (without oauth) or move on to analyzing and add chess.com import later.

First Devlog

Ik its the first devlog of this project but I got many things done

Setup Django and User Auth

I got the user authentication part done with logging in and accessing everything. I decided to do jwt cuz its pretty secure and allows me to keep a pretty nice split of the frontend and backend, so that I don’t accidently allow the client side parts to access all of the secrets.

Lichess OAuth

This was pretty long cuz I had to read so much fricking documentation to even understand what was going on. Ik the public api is free and doesn’t need a login but oauth gives a nice feel to my project and it allows me to get user games at higher rates, wait, no, no it doesnt, chess.com does that, ok damn, I spent 3 hours for nothing. At least it looks good lmao.
