Shortly after covid began, our printer ran out of ink. And we limit our shopping to the most essential things, and printer cartridges are not essential. We even limit deliveries to essential supplies. Everything to minimize contacts and prevent getting infected, because we need to care for our parents, who have a very fragile health.
So f-puzzles and other online solving tools are nice, because I don't need to copy the puzzles into excel or paint or some other tool. I am not particularly fond when other people put my puzzles into these tools. These puzzles are my design, and that should be reflected. Currently, that is not the case.
As for the auto solve functionality, I don't care. The joy for me was in the design. If people want to "solve" it using a auto solve, so be it. Their responsibility. The Rätselportal is not a competition, at least not for me. I know which puzzle I solved by hand, and can take pride in knowing that I did solve it by hand.
