Ability to share my collection privately
by Alfonso89 • 10 months ago
I would like to share my collection privately. Currently, the system only allows this if I make my collection public. I'd like to be able to share it with others without having to make it public. Thank you!

Incentivise completing listings with "bounties"
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
On the front page, show a small selection of very incomplete listings and offer additional buzz bits for submitting a large amount of information. Bounties would be picked randomly from listings with missing critical info, weighted by the amount of missing info (critical info being the required stuff for any puzzle like desc, goal, maker, designer, price, material, category (ies)). The bounties can be shown on the homepage sidebar like... Know something about this puzzle? | Listing image here | | Missing field | Missing field Contribute info button

Tracking personal copies of puzzles
by revomase • 10 months ago
I have a bunch of puzzles that I've modeled and printed for personal use. I want to track them in my collection, but I can't sell them, so I'd love a way to mark them as personal copies so they don't contribute to the collection's value. Originally, I thought hiding them from other users looking at my collection would be best, but for things like MPD Secret Santa, knowing which puzzles the other person owns/has solved is useful. That said, they probably shouldn't be eligible to be made available for sale/trade (not sure on the rules).

Confirm creation of listings without photos
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
In order to cut down on the amount of listings created without sufficient information to identify the puzzle save for the author's train of thought, push a pop-up whenever one submits a listing without photos along the lines of "Are you sure you want to create a listing without any images?"

Add Auction Value to Export
by jason • 10 months ago
Currently only the Retail Price appears on the collection download spreadsheet - adding Auction Value as well would provide a more comprehensive picture of collection value.

Remove "Unknown" from data fields when data is entered
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
"Unknown" is a special entry used in some data fields where the info may not be known, and possibly never known. When a list field comprises of only an "Unknown" entry and data is added to it, the "Unknown" should be removed automatically rather than asking an admin to handle it.

Auction site stats
by jxn • 10 months ago
Maybe show some stats on the various auction sites? Does the same puzzle show different values on different sites? How many auctions have been conducted on each site? How many in the last twelve months? This probably comes down to PP vs. Nick Baxter, but I'm still curious to see the results.

Add user-selectable additional info fields
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
Besides generic info fields that apply to all puzzles, add the ability for users to add additional info fields when creating a listing that can contain other helpful pieces of info that don't apply to all categories of puzzles. Also, when creating a puzzle in a given category, allow the site to automatically add additional info fields when they apply to whole categories but not all puzzles (IE twisty puzzles have many interesting mathematical data points such as "God's Number", and the "Devil's Number" which specify the maximum number of moves from solved and the number of moves required to reach all states respectively). See for more suggestions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBdwkw25perWuMIxyUHANJSo_Al13p0Xixj_qijgkNU/edit?tab=t.0

Strategies help page
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
Add a help info page with general strategies for solving certain genres of mechanical puzzles. No specific spoilers, but good for when someone needs a push into the right line of thinking. For instance one could write a general strategy for 3D packing puzzles that includes things along the lines of "try constructing the figure outside the frame if applicable" or "Count the voxels and determine if gaps will be present".

Add an "unspecified" option to filters / searches
by CoreMods • 10 months ago

Allow some price specifiers for free puzzles
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
Puzzles that are not sold in any way or not directly sold (promos) should be able to have this information specified. The price would essentially count as 0 for the purposes of sorting or math, but would be labelled with speficif strings. For instance "Free" may apply to puzzles that are freely available to download and 3D print with no option to buy. "Promo" may apply to puzzles given away with other purchases like a toy in a kid's meal or at an event with still no option to purchase it after the fact.

Add a help page of common non-puzzles with explinations
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
It may be nice to have a page for common "not a puzzles". A short write-up with pictures and examples and explanations of why certain things are not puzzles, but may sometimes be confused with one. For example many lotto pickers, marble machines, and do-nothings are misidentified as some kind of puzzle. Have a small paragraph identifying each type of non-puzzle, with a small list of photo examples (possibly sourced from the community).

Sort Categories into Subgroups
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
Puzzle categories should be grouped under major categories in the selector for ease of use and backend improvement. For example, general categories like "Interlocking" act as the parent group for "Board Burr", "Burr", "Coordinate Motion" and "TIC". This has the added benefits of improving categorical search reliability and matching better the generally accepted mechanical puzzle categorization schemes used globally. See category layout here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBdwkw25perWuMIxyUHANJSo_Al13p0Xixj_qijgkNU/edit?tab=t.0

Sort Materials into Subgroups
by CoreMods • 10 months ago
Materials should be sorted in the selector from general to specific with major groups acting as containers for specific examples of such materials. IE: Plastic acts as a parent material with the children PLA, ABS, Nylon 12, LEGO. Metal acts as a parent material for brass, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. This has the added benefit of improving search results as in this example: I am looking for a plastic puzzle by material, but it is specified in the database to be PLA, searching for plastic will show all child materials as well, allowing me to find the plastic puzzle I was looking for.
