Developer Wanted to Build an Online Chess Platform

[UCCC1993]

Uttara Central Chess Club is developing a public, ad-free online chess platform based on the open-source Lichess (lila) code.

We’ve already forked the official codebase and are now looking for a skilled developer (preferably from Bangladesh) who can:

✅ Set up and deploy the platform on a live server
✅ Customize the name, logo, and visual branding
✅ Connect it with our own domain
✅ Assist in future updates and maintenance

📌 Note: The final name of the platform (e.g., WeChess.com) is still under consideration — suggestions are welcome!

🔧 You should have experience with:

Lichess (lila) or similar real-time open-source web apps

Scala, Play Framework, PostgreSQL, Redis, Linux servers

Domain setup and performance optimization

📩 To Apply:

Send us the following to uccc1993@gmail.com:

✓ Your name, location, and contact details

✓ Your experience and portfolio (GitHub or links)

✓ Any past chess-related work (if any)

✓ Your budget/quotation or hourly rate

Let’s work together to create a world-class chess platform from Bangladesh! 🇧🇩♟️

Well said. Thank you for your response. You could at least give us a good suggestion to find out such professionals.

In my opinion this is a reasonable place to publish a lila related job offer.

By the way have you noted that the lila AGPL license will require you to publish all your source code, front-end and backend? If not, please see https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0

We are looking to hire experienced developers to clone and make new online sites like lichess. Can you help us to find out any developer as per our requirements?
