Strategies help page
by CoreMods • 7 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 a help page of common non-puzzles with explinations
by CoreMods • 7 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).

Prevent listing creation while images are uploading
by CoreMods • 7 months ago
Because image uploading takes a minute, prevent listing creation during the period in which photos are still uploading. Alternatively, wait to post data until uploading has completed, then finish the submission at that time. This will prevent accidental submission of listings without photos that were intended to have photos.

Sort Categories into Subgroups
by CoreMods • 7 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 • 7 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.

Loan puzzles
by Anonymous • 2 weeks ago
I would be happy to loan puzzles to people (or keep track of puzzles I have already loaned out).
Discussion
by oRyan • 2 weeks ago
Admin
A couple clarifying questions - are you looking for a system where users can go to your collection and check out puzzle from you and enter their address and all that so that you can ship them puzzles? Or are you just wanting the ability to update puzzles in your collection to a status of “Loaned”?

replace or crop a picture
by jpartridge • 3 months ago
Maybe these are two different feature requests. One is I'd like you to be able to delete a picture I took and replace it with a better one. Also, sometimes I'd like to be able to crop a picture.

Add ability to easily filter out 'Non-Puzzle' tagged items for all puzzles, puzzles for sale, and collection
by oRyan • 5 months ago
Maybe make this ability for all tags while you're in at it - not just non-puzzles.

Changing the maker/material of puzzles without creating new entries?
by Iambriang • 6 months ago
Maybe add a way to go through My Collection and change (for example) a bunch of Pelikan made wood puzzles to self-made 3d printed ones?
When I started putting all my puzzles into puzzbuzz, I didn't care at the time if I was accurate about the material and maker, I just wanted a database of the puzzles I owned... Situations like the Secret Santa has me thinking that an outsider looking at my collection will think I have some amazing collection instead of the 90% self printed collection I really have. I'd hate to have to create tons of new entries into the database to accomplish this.

Series grouping/list
by Rywdb • 7 months ago
Maybe if certain puzzles are part of a series, you can add them that way
Essentially its another tag, but you can search it up, maybe it doesn't need to be intentionally categorized, but something you could write down and it works similar to when you're adding puzzles and it says "That puzzle may already exist" but instead its with the series

Lego Category
by Rywdb • 7 months ago
I think in the quality section, it should say "3D printed/Lego" Since both 3D printing and lego are int he same gcategory of accessibility.
Or another idea is to give lego its own category

Add PETG as a material
by buttonius • 5 days ago
I could not specify that a 3D-printed puzzle was made from PETG. That option should be there.
