Lichess Elo Estimator

Chess.com has a feature where people can see a players estimated elo based on how they played one game. I am not quite sure how it is done, since a higher accuracy doesn't necessarily mean a higher rating estimation. Does lichess have something like this? If not it would be something cool to add.
I attached one of my games and one of Magnus's games so people can see what I mean.

It's one of the "bells and whistles" features which look cool but their actual relevance is dubious (to put it mildly). The attitude towards features is one of the differences between lichess and chess-com.
Them Chess.com ppl made their Game Review even badder.......
I just saw their new layout after 1 month of inactivity there.

I agree with the comments. I remember once playing a live tournament with one person, winning him in 15-20 moves and then after the game, 5 minutes later, he comes to me and shows that chesscom rated my game between 3000-3100 (I don't remember exactly), of course, I pretended that I was just so strong and all that, but objectively the problem was simply that I knew everything and because the opponent was much weaker and made inaccuracies and mistakes, my moves could not be rated as bad. In general, this is the stupidest feature that is present on ChessCom. The truth is that lichess, although he copied a lot from chesscom, he copied all the best and gave it all for free. I'm not even talking about advertising, a weak engine and constant problems with the site, which are present on ChessCom. The conclusion is simple - play on Lichess)

What did he copy, the rule of chess?
ok, not a lot, but fair enough.
#6 This seems more like you are familar with chesscom, rahter then other sites. For example, the annoncment blog even points this out directly : lichess.org/@/lichess/blog/puzzlers-on-the-storm/YBCoVBUA . I think blitztactics is more similar, but it's all "just" timed puzzles, which have been around forever.

For racer, the inspiration was typeracer actually : lichess.org/@/lichess/blog/new-feature-puzzle-racer/YFOLzhMA to my knowledge no chess software have done that spin on puzzle solving prior to Racer?

Reality is that the same users probably requests the same features from both sites. It's kind of like saying that Puzzles are a " copied" feature in itself. When puzzles have been around as long as the game of chess? It goes the other way too. You can just check the changelog of both websites.

Well, I agree that the types of these puzzles are different. They just weren't on lichess until 2021 and that's it. I assume that lichess just took this idea from chesscom but made these puzzles unique in their own way. Maybe not, I'm not sure but it's obvious that they appeared on chesscom much earlier

I think that in this case lichess should not be trusted. It is their site and they will never admit how exactly they came up with this version of the puzzles. In any case, I do not care. The main thing is that this site is free for everyone, and the fact that lichess may copy ideas from other sites (or may not copy) does not bother me
