It’s great to see more tools taking advantage of the markdown syntax. I’m the creator of Mask[0], a very similar tool built with Rust. I was originally inspired by Maid[1], which i…

Mask can't directly solve this problem by itself, it just runs whatever script you give it. If you can write a python/js/bash/etc script to achieve what you want, you can stick it …

And another possibly lighter alternative is something like concurrently: https://github.com/open-cli-tools/concurrently

Before mask, I used a custom bash command runner which relied on a directory structure to implement the command and subcommand tree. This was pretty simple and nice to use. So if i…

Nice to see other markdown-based task runners! I'm the creator of mask which is another alternative, written in Rust. Our approaches slightly differ. It looks like xc parses the RE…

Great feedback, others have mentioned this as well! I’ll try to add this as an option soon.

Good question and sorry for the confusion! I originally launched with an optional paid tier which I have since removed. Currently there is no business model. I happily run this at …

Nice collection, thanks for putting this together! I was thinking of submitting my jigsaw site Puzzle Panda [1] if it fits the requirements. Registration is not necessary and there…

All great points, thanks for the feedback! :) The smudge tool radius idea was especially interesting and something I’ll need to think about further. Very curious how it would affec…

Ha, yikes! I’ll have to try reproducing that, since that sounds like a bug that could happen even under normal circumstances.

Thank you! I’m aiming to provide a more polished and user-friendly experience than the alternatives out there, and I have many plans to differentiate ever further. Glad you had a g…

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! As another reply mentioned, single click/tap on a piece auto rotates it to the correct orientation. Many have pointed out the auto rotation is either t…

I’ve heard someone do exactly that before too! Always fun finding ways to break the rules :) Others in here are suggesting snap on drop instead of auto snapping, which I’m strongly…

Yeah, good point regarding snapping on drop which would allow making the drop zone a little larger. Drag selecting multiple pieces is interesting. If I add that, I think I would ne…

Thanks for the feedback! Looking forward to adding leaderboards.. still brainstorming the best way to introduce them.

Thanks for the report! Firefox was the browser I used during development and also needed the most work regarding performance. The image quality is heavily tied to rendering perform…

Good suggestions! I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought of that, but snapping on drop does sound like a better experience.

There shouldn’t be any missing pieces and the puzzle engine has been tested thoroughly, so this is surprising to hear. Unfortunately I can’t investigate since demo puzzles are not …

Glad you enjoyed it. Orienting the pieces up front does annoy others as well, so I'm considering options to make this a bit more friendly. Good point regarding the picture being ob…

Interesting, that's very odd. My ad blocker also blocks sentry, yet I can still drag pieces fine. I'll need to test Brave to see if I can reproduce. Thanks for the details.

Sorry to hear that! I have an up-to-date iPad Air 2 and I've tested playing in Safari quite a bit. The touch accuracy is a little annoying and dragging the background unintentional…

Great point! This has been something I've been meaning to do and forgot about. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks! Yeah, it's been hard to decide what to do about mobile. The experience is not great with the high piece counts. I might consider offering puzzles with smaller piece counts …

Good points! With my websocket test I'm currently experimenting with syncing micro actions rather than syncing the full puzzle state every time a user makes a move. For lag compens…

Yeah, I think I need to tweak the snap distance a bit further. Sometimes pieces snap together unintentionally while dragging across the canvas, which surprises users. Would you be …
