Add a help page of common non-puzzles with explinations
by CoreMods • 5 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 • 5 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 • 5 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.

Help identify puzzles where the name and designer is unknown
by BrassMonkeySteve • 4 months ago
Add a standalone feature where I can upload pictures of puzzles where I do not remember the name of the designer nor the name so that others can help identify them. This could be by connecting them to an existing PuzzBuzz entry or turning them into a new entry and adding the extra details. It appears I bought quite a few puzzles from Ebay in the late nineties and early noughties while under the influence of alcohol :)

Changing the maker/material of puzzles without creating new entries?
by Iambriang • 4 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 • 5 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 • 5 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

replace or crop a picture
by jpartridge • 1 month 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 • 3 months ago
Maybe make this ability for all tags while you're in at it - not just non-puzzles.
