Falcon: Modern Digital Chess Set

Hey guys, I've been working on a designing a digital chess set sort of as a fun side project and I'm curious to see what other chess players think of it. I've been calling it Falcon.

I set up a simple demo site, so if you're interested in checking it out and giving feedback, I'd love it. The link is http://demo.falconchess.net

I also made a userstyles plugin thing for it that works on lichess, so you can give that a try if that's your speed: userstyles.org/styles/131221/falcon-lichess-custom-chess-set

The idea was to make something modern and sharp looking that doesn't feel weird to play with.
looks good, the only downside is that I've been using lichess's standard chess set for 3 years or so, so it throws me off a bit
Looks very nice, bravo ! I would like to see it implemented on this site.
And to play in the 'Falcon style' :)
I feel like the pieces are just slightly too big for the squares, but I like the aesthetic otherwise.
looks very sharp, and something i could *possibly* get used to.

I have the same problem as simplicial, except replace 3 years, with 20 years, when i first got into online chess. Hard for me to adapt to new stuff, no matter how cool they look :(

keep up the good work!
Thanks guys! I def agree that its weird switching to new sets--it's high praise even to have people say they'd consider using it after getting used to the classic ones, which are great and charming in there own right.
