https://chesswrap.vercel.app/

A "Spotify Wrapped" style experience for Chess.com users, built with Next.js and the Chess.com Public API.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: Next.js
• Language: TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Animations: Framer Motion
• Data Source: Chess.com Public API
• Icons: Lucide React

⚙️ Architecture & Data Flow

1. User Input: The user enters their username on the landing page (app/page.tsx).
2. Validation: The app pings the Chess.com API to verify the user exists and has archives for 2025.
3. Data Fetching:
   • On success, the user is routed to /wrapped/[username].
   • The ChessContext triggers a fetch for all monthly archives (JSON).
   • Games are parsed to calculate Total Games, Win/Loss/Draw ratios, and specific Opening names.
4. Visualization:
   • Data is passed into the <Carousel /> component.
   • Framer Motion handles the slide transitions and entrance animations.
   • Global Audio is managed in layout.tsx to persist across route changes.
