C# is great but you will spend the first 6 months of development trying to find a web or UI framework that doesn't suck.

I'll note it's not only unpopular now with a "smaller group of users" but also with influencers too now as they've realized it kills their own revenue by altering referral codes.
Seems right.
If you export/download games from lichess, they use the .pgn (Portable Game Notation) format, which is a standard plain-text format circa 1993, used by pretty much everyone for describing a chess game.
Lichess follows the specification to the letter, and as it only technically allows one-second accuracy, lichess only record moves with one-second accuracy. It seems insane, but that's how they do it.
Chess.com also exports PGN files, but they add a decimal place, allowing subsecond accuracy. No one has a problem with this. There is no software which cannot handle this. But Lichess refuses to "break" the spec.
lichess PGN export example:
> 1. d3 { [%eval -0.15] [%clk 0:01:00] } 1... g6 { [%eval 0.04] [%clk 0:01:00] }
Chess.com PGN export example:
> 1. d4 {[%clk 0:02:58.6]} 1... b6 {[%clk 0:02:59.2]}
