Vote for lichess next feature

Although I am very excited for features such as shared analysis and an endgame trainer I feel like the highest priority for lichess at the moment should be implementing TLS.

At the moment even authentication is done without any encryption. Many people, despite knowing better, use the same or similar passwords for multiple online accounts. Authentication being insecurely implemented on any single website could therefore result more important services such as facebook/gmail/banking being compromised.

These days it's not the norm, especially for such a large website (which, admittedly has grown amazingly quickly). As such, Google is now even penalizing websites for exactly this.

Thankfully implementing HTTPS is a lot easier (and freer) than it was before. e.g letsencrypt.org/

Anyway, thanks a lot thibault. We are very grateful for all of your work.
I am surprised that HTTPS is so low in the poll. I voted for it and I think for good reason. That secure connection should definitely be worth more than the rest (as nice as that rest sounds, it's not nearly as urgent).
I came on the forum to be thankful about the new analysis feature (opening repertoire) and I see this topic...

Thank you for everything to all the people developping and working on this website!

Regis.
Rather than any of these features I'd prefer if all the training puzzles were fixed so that every move with a winning eval is at least accepted as an alternate move.
Last time there was user input into what we wanted next, nearly 80% (correct me if my memory is wrong) wanted different sorts of competitions including league play...
