Meet NUTINCHESS. A Chess Experience Built for Play, Learning, and Competition

NUTINCHESS is my entry for the Base44 Challenge.

I built NUTINCHESS to bring chess gameplay, learning, and competition together in one platform. Instead of focusing on just playing chess, I wanted to create an experience where players can challenge themselves, learn new strategies, compete with others, and track their progress.

What I built

Play Chess

Players can challenge AI opponents or play against other people online. The multiplayer experience includes worldwide matchmaking and private rooms, where players can generate a room code and share it with a friend to join their game.

In-Game Chat

Players can chat with their opponents during a game, making matches more interactive and giving them a way to communicate while playing.

Learn Chess

The learning hub includes daily puzzles, step-by-step chess lessons, an opening library, endgame practice, game analysis, and chess tips to help players improve their skills.

Player Profiles and Progress

Players can create profiles, track their ratings, review match history, monitor puzzle streaks, and unlock achievements as they progress.

Tournaments

NUTINCHESS also includes a tournament section for organizing competitive chess experiences.

The goal

I wanted to create something that goes beyond a chessboard: a platform that brings playing, learning, and player progression into one cohesive experience.

From the dark interface and warm bronze details to the chess-inspired visuals, I designed the experience around a premium, competitive identity.

Built with Base44

NUTINCHESS was built and published using Base44.

Live app: https://play-nutinchess.base44.app

Walkthrough: Attached video showcasing the gameplay, multiplayer experience, in-game chat, learning features, tournaments, and player profiles.

This is my submission for the #Base44Challenge.

NUTINCHESS looks awesome! Love the idea of combining gameplay + learning + competition all in one — chess platforms usually only do one part well. The UI in the video looks really clean too. Great build for the challenge, best of luck!

Aerolith: an autopilot for New York's airspace

At rush hour, New York barely moves, but a trauma bay waiting on blood can't wait. Aerolith is an aerial dispatch network that runs commercial drone work and emergency medical deliveries through one autopilot, built and shipped on @Base44.

What the automation does, with no dispatcher involved: • Prices every request instantly from distance, job type and urgency • Checks live weather at the pickup and calls GO or NO-GO against each aircraft's limits • Finds the nearest aircraft with the right range, battery, payload and cold box, plus a medically cleared pilot • Gives emergency deliveries priority: a booked commercial job yields, is re-slotted, and its client is told why • Moves flights to the next clear window when a storm rolls in, or pages a duty officer for emergencies • Sends live tracking to the client or hospital and logs every decision for audit • Grounds aircraft automatically when they hit their service hours

The result: about 90 minutes of phone-and-spreadsheet dispatch work, done in about 3 seconds.

Design: I wanted it to feel like flying, not like a dashboard. The homepage is a scroll-driven 3D flight over a night-time New York, built in three.js, that follows a Lifeline drone on an emergency run. The rest of the site uses a blue-hour palette, wide type like the lettering painted on an aircraft, and a red lane reserved for emergencies. It's fully responsive on mobile.

The walkthrough film was made from the site's own 3D scene, with a voiceover and score cut to the narration.

Try it: aerolith-e0aa51d9.base44.app Open the Ops console and press "Incoming emergency" to watch the autopilot work live.

A concept demo: the fleet, pilots and facilities are simulated, and the weather is real.

New York very good vibes 😍
