I did timed puzzles today. I had put them off for a while and decided to get to doing them.

For a non speedster like me, the new interface would be horrible on timed puzzles. On the 5 x 5 s, I use a combination of pencil marks and the keyboard.

Yes, no plans whatsoever to ditch the current interface.

This would more likely be a more "casual" interface, for a different audience.

I am VERY glad to hear that.

.. doing some promotion for this interface with a "Youtube short" :

(please share and like and alll that)

(still have to recover my Toktik login info, so I can post there too )

I like the current version but... this one too
if I correctly undrestood, it would be especially in terms of design

Same video, different music, now also on tiktok:

(please like and share etc.)(no idea what percentage of Calcudoku puzzlers are on tiktok )

The interface at http://www.calcudoku.org/spa now also has the 5x5 and 6x6 puzzles
(but only when available, and not a "twin puzzle")

Note that any "subscriber only" puzzles _are_ available in the new interface

edit: removed the tiktok link for now, such a hassle to get the audio right :(

edit 2: this one could work: https://www.tiktok.com/@calcudoku/video ... 1562449185

and on the Youtubes:

(different music because of copyright and all)

If I can trust the numbers , such a difference between the two:
Youtube: 7 views
Tiktok: 680 views

This has now sky-rocketed to 20 and 685
