Notation Trainer

Cool tool. Nice job. I have two suggestions:

1. It would be nice to have the option of flipping the board in order to practice from Black's perspective. That's where I get bogged down when trying to notate OTB games in real time.
2. After notating the game, I'd like to be able to go back through the game that I just notated. I was too busy notating to really appreciate it and would like the ability to cycle back through. It's not a big deal as I can always just copy the pgn over to another program.

Website UI could be improved for mobile devices in general.
In the Notation Trainer page, the website scrolls downwards right after submitting user's input. This is how it looks like after I typed the first move. I have to constantly scroll the page upwards to see the chess board after every input.

I'm sure that the vast majority of the people who visit the website are using a smartphone to browse it. It's the case on almost all websites nowadays.

how do you promote on f7?

Good call, I will add that to my backlog of updates. 1) the ability to flip the board, and 2) the ability to navigate through the game after it has ended.

I see what you mean, I will see if I can fix this in the next release. Thanks for raising this, I will have a think about the best way to achieve this.
