I created this minimal library that only has 3kb and uses canvas to render a preloader in linear style. It give somehow more personality and can describe what it does (for example uploading/downloading) by its animation. Let me know what you think and super happy for any improvement PR.

Hey beautiful people, I am currently actively building the (what I hope to achieve) most beautiful chess database. What I need and want is feedback, ideas, and insights into what people need in a modern chess database. I believe everything is feasible, just go crazy with ideas, I really appreciate it!
== Short background story ==
4 Years Ago: I started building one of the most popular chess applications for physical chessboards, whitepawn.app.
End of Last Year: I started developing sp00ky.cloud a sync engine enabling super easy development of great user experiences by making local-first, optimistic updates (also query-wide) and live syncing available under a very simple developer api.
A month ago: I started building a brand new chess database on top of sp00ky. While it's not feature complete in any way, honestly, I am really proud of the current user experience.
Today: I am curious what people really want from their chess database. I want to contribute to software where user experience is the first and most important thing. Would love to hear ideas and features will brainstorm how to bring them into the chess database in the most attractive way.
== Current Project State ==
Now briefly about the chess database state. Its a PWA, using wasm for some things like the sync engine or stockfish. The entire app is written in SolidJS and everything you see on the website is realtime synced across devices and tabs. Todays features are:
- Chess.com & Lichess & WhitePawn game sync
- PGN database upload
- Analysis
- Comments
- Collaboration on database level with comments
- Publicly shareable databases via link
- Chess Puzzle Builder (synced to WhitePawn)

Happy to hear from you!! Cheers 🥂
