Neat little project. There's always chessbook where you can create your own repertoire and then you can test yourself with it, it's not too shabby.

I will be honest, if I realized what chessbook does before I started this I probably wouldn't have done it. But I only read a description of it and misunderstood. I thought it only let you custom create your repertoire move by move in a way that only a more experienced player would know how to do. There isn't 100% overlap with my web app, but chessbook is certainly a very nicely polished site.
I am a bit of a beginner in chess and while I found good resources for learning tactics and other necessary skills, I had difficulty memorizing some common openings. I looked for a site or app that let me train on various openings and variations but I couldn't find anything I liked. So I made my own.

I am looking for input on changes I should consider so that it would be more useful for others as well as myself. Are there major openings or variations missing, or problems with the info or move sets I used? I would also love to know if anyone else finds this kind of memorization of openings through repetition helpful.
I added the capability to select "custom" instead of an existing opening and you can paste in any PGN data you want to practice and be quizzed on.
Right now the site does not work on mobile, although I would like to fix that in the future.
