Mogador Chess Club

The site covers the week between sessions of the club's Saturday chess workshop at Dar Souiri. Students work through a 13-step beginner tutorial, three courses (19 lessons), 40 exercises across three levels, seven opening traps with their refutations, and a game against Stockfish at three calibrated levels. Teachers get a separate area: create sessions, take the register on a phone standing in the room, award tokens. Parents hold the account; children are profiles beneath it — which is also how a child with no email address gets to use the site.

It's a static Astro site on Cloudflare Workers, with exactly one hydrated island — the board. Chessground and chess.js load only where a board exists; Stockfish is 3.6 MB and never precached, fetched on the first click of 'play'. Supabase holds accounts, sessions and attendance behind row-level security; the public agenda is baked at build time and a database trigger pokes a Cloudflare deploy hook when a teacher publishes, so a new session reaches the site in about two minutes without a server.

The club meets once a week — that constraint shaped a lot: no daily streaks, no leaderboard, no notion that logging in every day is virtuous.
