a Xiangqi desktop app that may help you

I play Xiangqi as a hobby and like watching Xiangqi games. When analyzing a Xiangqi game, my pain point is to explore alternative moves, and navigate back to the original game. I also prefer offline, no paid subscriptions. So I end up making a desktop app, called "Xiangqi Lab".

Main things I focused on:

  • Offline, no paid subscription
  • Open source
  • Work with Fairy-Stockfish and Pikafish
  • Emoji-style pieces
  • Multilingual

Here’s what the interface looks like when analyzing a game (require external engine).

I’d love to hear how you guys analyze games on desktop or mobile. Do you face the same issues that I was facing? Would something like this be useful to you?

The app is on the Microsoft Store if anyone wants to try it (search for "Xiangqi Lab").
