Ideas to improve Lichess

I would like to use this discussion topic to come up with ideas to improve Lichess as the best gaming platform in the world.

mine are:

a) Add more features to coordinate training (copy features from chess.com, for example).

b) Add more practice exercises in the "Practice" tab under "Learn".

If you want to give ideas to improve lichess.
Make sure they are defined well.

dont say copy features for chess.com
say which features from there you would like to see
Else i say make lichess better
and what must the devs do

Clear and well defined suggestions
are easier for devs to implement since they dont have to do that work then

b) Add more practice exercises in the "Practice" tab under "Learn".
ok but what exactly you want
Like how to win with king rook pawn vs king rook
etc
1. Implement official keyboard(KB) movement
2. Improve movement on interface.
1.- Save your repertorie and when you play a game and analize it, compare when you got out of your repertoire.
2.- Some "opening rooms": sicilian room, french room, spanish room, caro-kann room. If you enter one room, you will play that opening. Maybe each room could have a separate rating, so you can see if you inprove in that opening
3.- Save your own OTB games, mantaining them private.Studies are a possibiity, but quite limited
Mine are to stop the temp bans for letting time run out while im at work.
I think lichess needs a feature where you can look for games and select a minimum number of games played for the opponent selection. I am very tired when players disappear or never make the first move and it is usually recently registered players
Personally I would like Lichess to add more studies in the Staff Picks, some good recommendations in openings for such an aggressive player as me.

saving your repertorie can be done in a study but you cant use study as a database for opening explorer what you can do is set it to your games and use that as a repertoire but sure i will make a github issue asking for a use study option for the database

lichess does not plan on adding any more rating as it already has way to many
as for opening rooms. Lichess already has that.
Just create a tournament from the position of your opening and then let people play maybe give the link to your friends.

Using studies would make them private and easy to get my question is
why do you say studes are "quite limited"

Lichess wont do that because no one would ever play against new players heck when people see a question mark they abort most of the time

In regards to dispearing players or people aborting or not playing lichess has a system that bans them if they do it to much but you can also report them using lichess.org/report
