Fen To Board Image

fentoboardimage

A Python library published on PyPI that generates PIL/Pillow images of chessboards from FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) strings. Highly configurable with options for board colors, piece sets, square highlighting, arrows for move annotations, and coordinate labels. Used by chess content creators, analysis tools, and as a component in other chess-related projects.

Board Explorer

A Chrome extension that uses computer vision to detect static chessboard images on any webpage and replaces them with fully interactive, playable boards. The YOLOv5 neural network (trained in PyTorch) identifies board positions with high accuracy, then converts them to FEN notation. Users can analyze positions with Stockfish engine support, explore variations, and even continue games from screenshots.

Buzz

A practical utility app that monitors ambient sound levels and sends notifications when loud sounds are detected - perfect for knowing when the laundry is done or the oven timer goes off from another room. Available as both an Android app and web application. The phone acts as a remote microphone, with customizable sensitivity thresholds and notification options.

DaMa (Data Maker)

A Python tool for programmatically generating training data for machine learning models. Uses JSON configuration files to define image generation parameters, then leverages Pillow to create diverse training samples with randomized variations. This tool was used to generate the 8000+ image dataset that trained Board Explorer's chess detection model, with variations in board styles, piece sets, lighting, and perspectives.

Stitch

Stitch

A full-stack video rendering platform that allows users to easily create and compile videos from Twitch.TV content. The system leverages AWS infrastructure (ECS, ECR) to dynamically spin up Docker containers that handle rendering jobs, enabling cost-effective scaling based on demand. Users can select clips, add transitions, and queue renders through a React frontend, while the Flask backend manages job orchestration and storage.
