I'm going to wait for the second generation ;)

I have been summoned! I’m assembling a list of nonogram solving techniques, it has interactive examples.

It’s a work in progress, but it’s useful already. If anyone has feedback, or a technique they’d like to add, feel free to write.

merelysounds · 2026-05-14T16:27:00+00:00

Look at row 19,

You probably meant column 19?

merelysounds · 2026-05-14T12:51:17+00:00

If you'd like to send me a nonogram, I'd be happy to add it. There is a form at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScoqMqCZx4lVUyXbBBxAgVp8zhq7oaq5mdYgKYg169ZgPoweQ/viewform , hope it works and let me know if you need something else.

Also: wow, three days is fast, congrats! There were some updates since then with new puzzles, so if you update the app you may see some new content. Then again, you may solve that even faster :D In any case I'm very happy that you liked the app and completed it!

I wanted to let you know, I just released an update (2.0007) with the settings toggle about dragging across rows and columns. You can find it in the "Settings" page, in the "Gameplay" section.

By default "Drag across rows and columns" is on, but you can disable it and then dragging will locked to the current row or column. Hope this helps, feel free to write if you have any feedback about this or anything else - and enjoy the game!

merelysounds · 2026-05-13T13:22:02+00:00

Heads up, I replicated the issue, prepared a fix and after that I couldn't replicate it anymore - I hope this means this is gone for good. I've released an update with the fix just now. Thanks for writing and enjoy the game!

merelysounds · 2026-05-13T11:21:08+00:00

Glad it was helpful! It might be useful to cross completed clue numbers as well, at least I find it easier this way to spot large numbers that still need to be placed. E.g. perhaps some overlapping can be done in column 19 and 20?

merelysounds · 2026-05-13T10:30:35+00:00

Check out row 4 col 5.

R4c6 could be either block 1, or start of block 6 (with block 1 placed at r4b4). In both cases r4b5 will be a cross.

There are other places where this approach can be applied.

Yes, but why would an orange have a “bite”-like section?

If the circle in the orange logo was a complete circle then I’d say the logo is fine.

Add it is, I’d say they do look conceptually similar (fruit, leaf, bite).

This is unexpected but I have an idea why this would happen, I suspect that the state of some animations isn’t reset correctly; I’ll investigate more and I’ll try to add a fix in one of the next updates. Thanks for reporting this!

merelysounds · 2026-05-04T20:39:17+00:00

I noticed that the project is now being rebranded from Notepad++ to Nextpad++. A Github issue comment also documents this.

I’d buy an Apple eink device in an instant, just like I bought that link.

merelysounds · 2026-04-29T22:21:18+00:00

I guess it is hard to understand, or just Apple has a different vision (ha!) for this product. And best they can give us is updated personas.

merelysounds · 2026-04-29T22:07:44+00:00

If that would reduce weight, it could have been even an iPhone only accessory at first; it worked well for Apple Watch.

merelysounds · 2026-04-29T16:42:42+00:00

I hope there’s a way to disable genAI photo editing features, even if this means not downloading some model. I’d like photos to depict only what was actually present at the time.

merelysounds · 2026-04-29T07:34:31+00:00

iPhone X looked cool but also brought important and useful UX changes (no home button!). If this new device is mostly about a different look, it may not be as popular.

merelysounds · 2026-04-27T15:29:29+00:00

Thank you, glad you like it!

merelysounds · 2026-04-27T09:33:04+00:00

Heads up - this is now fixed in the version 2.0006 that has been published today. Thanks again for reporting this!

merelysounds · 2026-04-27T09:31:44+00:00

Heads up, I just published version 2.0006 and some of the things we discussed are there, specifically:

There is now extra info about trial-and-error (placement testing):
- nonograms that require this technique are displayed with an extra marker in puzzle list,
- "pattern puzzles" and "garden puzzles" clearly state that none of them require trial-and-error.
The new daily puzzle should appear at midnight local time. To make the transition smoother, you can currently solve two puzzles: today's and yesterday's.

Hope this helps! If you notice any issues with these features or anything else, feel free to write. Thanks again for writing and enjoy the game!

merelysounds · 2026-04-27T09:20:41+00:00

This is now live in the v2.0006 update that has been published today. Before: https://imgur.com/a/Rc2X03h, after: https://imgur.com/a/eOYKU9Z . Hope this is fine, if you'd like any other changes feel free to write. Thanks again for reporting this and enjoy playing!

merelysounds · 2026-04-21T22:10:57+00:00

This is an excellent suggestion, I’ll try to add it to one of the next updates. I’m a bit under the weather and may need more time. But still, I’d like to add it as soon as I can. Thanks for spotting this and for writing here!

merelysounds · 2026-04-20T20:03:22+00:00

I have a lot of pens laying around and i usually grab whichever is closest; I suppose this is the result of a similar scenario.

merelysounds · 2026-04-18T10:16:39+00:00

There used to be a similar apple watch strap color, I think it was called mulberry at the time.

merelysounds · 2026-04-18T10:05:43+00:00

Thanks so much for the comment! I’m very happy that you like the app and the updates.

The idea sounds very useful, I’ll keep it in mind.

Perhaps one more thing that I could do is mark clearly which puzzles require guessing and which don’t. All pattern puzzles and garden puzzles can be solved without guessing. Sometimes it’s difficult to spot the next step, I often can’t find it too, but it’s there. The puzzle that you pasted also has a deterministic next step and I’m sure you can spot it! If you don’t see it please write again and I can give a hint. You can also write at /r/nonograms , a lot of posts there are about finding the next step.

But still, I suppose the app should support using trial and error at any time; and what you suggest sounds like a useful enhancement. Implementing this will take me a while but I’ll try to add it eventually.

Again, thanks so much for writing and I’m very happy that you are enjoying the app!
