Feature Request: Manually edit PGN of ongoing Lichess broadcast

Open AbdullahKhetran opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

In cases where the app is 'not synced' with the board, an option to manually edit the PGN would be useful.

By 'not synced' I mean moves were not recognized by the app which could be due to several reasons:

  1. Multiple moves occurred too quickly on the board
  2. Illegal moves occurred and corrected

By updating the PGN manually, Lichess broadcast will also be updated on the next API request

How do you envisage doing this? By manually editing the text of the PGN file? This is certainly possible so I can look into it if you think that's the best solution. Otherwise let's work out something else!

Yes, I was thinking of editing the PGN file.

But now I realise that it would not be the best solution from the perspective of user experience. Users would prefer a board where they takeback/play the moves (like a Lichess analysis board) and the app generates the new PGN.
