new go server

Post by wampleek »

Hello all. A friend and coworker of mine is working on a new go server (http://pogoserver.com/). He would like to get some feedback on the site, so if you have some time, check out the site, play a game, and make some suggestions.

Just tried this, and played a fun game against wampleek. A few small observations:
  • No undo button. Is this deliberate?
  • Even while main time is counting down, it would be helpful to have a reminder of how much byo-yomi there is (just because I'm forgetful).
  • The text takes up a lot of room in the chat box, so the box only really holds two messages at a time!
  • No obvious 'export to SGF' feature, or grid labelling.
Seems well built so far though. These are fairly minor things to code - the basic functionality seems good. :)
