Thank you for making this sudoku player!

I have no issues, this is merely the easiest place for me to record a thank you. Please close this issue if need be.

This sudoku implementation is so good that it literally got me interested in playing sudoku for the first time ever. The killer feature for me is the "show auto generated notes" toggle. I could never understand the appeal of Sudoku before playing with that; sudoku always seemed like a tedious bookkeeping game where you spent most-to-all of your time just finding the basic candidates with no actually interesting logical inference. Little did I know that was because I was only ever playing on "easy", where pretty much all puzzles are solvable without ever using more advanced techniques.

I tried playing on hard on a whim, got impatient and turned on "show auto-generated notes", and was SHOCKED when I found that the auto-generated notes where insufficient to solve the whole board. I was intrigued! "How else do you solve a sudoku? What more is there to learn?" With that, I've become totally hooked.

By now I've beaten all the hard sudokus and am working my way through the experts. I'm having so much fun! Since it's just a website, I've recommend it to everyone I know, and they love it. It's fast to load, it works great on mobile, it's snappy, tracks your progress with no problems; just the best I've ever used.

Thank you so much for this gift to the world!

Thank you soooo much for these kind words! When I embarked on the journey to write this, this was exactly the feature I was wondering nobody did, so cool to see it being liked:). I'm really happy that you have fun with it and already solved so many Sudokus. I hope there weren't any serious bugs, happy to fix anything (or feature request).

And let me know when I have to add more sudokus :D This repository also holds the code to generate them.

I've actually never encountered a bug (maybe I have, but I've never noticed any bugs).

If you are looking for a feature of some kind, I can only think of one at the moment, which I've tried to describe in this issue (filed separate from this one to try to keep the discussions focused): #7

I hope I've done a good job describing the pain point in a useful way that'll be helpful to any potential implementors. I'd give an implementation a try myself but I'm on vacation at the moment and swore I wouldn't do any coding myself during this time off 😄

Anyway, thank you for your hard work and thank you for being open to feedback.

Also, if you're willing to generate more sudokus, that would be amazing! I don't know if 500 per difficulty is too much to ask for (or if that might grow the size of the app too much) but I know that'd keep me busily playing for another year or more at least.
