Shameless plug: I built an open source, completely free, no ads/tracking whatsoever sudoku with a lot of bells of whistles. It’s only web based, so no native apps. Find it here: https://sudoku.tn1ck.com/

Thanks, I personally find that for these sorts of puzzle games, browser-based is the way to go. I don't particularly want to install yet another app that is a black box in terms of network communication.

Awesome project. Is there a way for the app not to tell me when I made a mistake? I must be doing something wrong as I'm not able to toggle this setting on/off.

Very cool, feature request if you ever work on it again: numpad support, a way to toggle-off the row/square highlighting when you select a cell, del key to empty a cell.

I thought I added numpad support, will have another look. I’ll add a setting to disable the highlights next week, thanks!

That will be nice!

Thank you =)!

I'm not able to auto-generate notes, then delete some of them.

e.g., a row contains the auto-generated notes:

    [1,2,3,4,5] [1,2,3] [1,2,3] [1,2,3]

I can't remove 1,2,3 from the first cell.

Yeah they conflict, haven’t really worked too much on how to resolve this. I mostly did the auto generated notes as I found them cool, how did you expect them to work? Currently they are live updating, but I guess a one of action might more sense?

It's tricky for sure to do it without complicating the interface. You'd need separate concepts of allowed notes and denied notes. If I say a not can _not_ appear somewhere, then it should purge that note forever. But how to portray that concept to the user?

I thought it might work a little like the NYT sudoku app: placed numbers delete candidate notes automatically, but you can also manually toggle candidates on/off. I guess a once-off generation would probably work to achieve this?

Nice!
