Antichess has been solved: 1 e3 wins for white.

True, but as long as there's no human alive who knows every possible move it's still worth playing.
It's the same with standard chess: even though we don't know it yet it's either won for white, won for black, or a draw. In either way it's fixed. Still you wouldn't argue that it's not worth playing.
Someones computer knowing everything shouldn't change our enjoyment of things.

"as long as there's no human alive who knows every possible move it's still worth playing"
* OK, but it is not worth to play anything but 1 e3.
"It's the same with standard chess" * No, standard chess is not yet solved.
"we don't know it yet it's either won for white, won for black, or a draw" * We know standard chess is a draw.
"Someones computer knowing everything shouldn't change our enjoyment of things." True, But the approach to losing chess should be to try and assimilate the known solution: play 1 e3 and the known winning moves for white, play the most resilient defense for black.
"we know standard chess is a draw" how so?

Do you think you could implement this app on Racing Kings?

That's definitely on my list as well. It'll take some time but I'll post on lichess, whenever it's finished.
Thank you, that could really change racing kings knowledge. At least for me
not playing e3 depends on what your goal is... if the goal is perfection then one should play e3... but since e3 is mate in 120 humans will never be able to play perfect. so you might as well play something else.
