An app that retrieves the PGNs for a user's games

I was looking for a way to easily get at the PGNs for games I've played (and games I've been interested in) so I decided to build an app with Elm to help me out. Thought I'd share in case it interested anyone here

Atm it accepts a username and allows you to browse all the public games played by that user, then displays the PGN for the games you choose to look at. It'd probably be nice to extend it to accept a chess.com URL to just pull the PGN from there eventually.

For my uses, I wanted a paired down PGN with the generated comments stripped so that's what the app provides but if anyone finds the thing useful and would like the comments restored, I'd be happy to talk about it.

The live app lives here https://chesscom-pgn.shnewto.space/

It accepts usernames in the url, i.e.https://chesscom-pgn.shnewto.space/?username=shnewto

And the source code lives here https://github.com/shnewto/chesscom-pgn

Thanks for taking a look if you decide to!

Can't you just download it right now?

ha yeah you totally can w/o any trouble  I didn't want to have to go to a game's page I guess, and ultimately, I wanted to get at PGNs programmatically. But yeah, it's easy enough to do on the site that this little toy app doesn't make things much easier 🤷

Just tried the app. It is actually pretty fast. Thanks for building.
