Hi HN!

I built this website last year for family members who enjoy playing jigsaw puzzles on their computers. I decided to build it because I frequently heard complaints about how slow some of the more popular jigsaw apps are and how they are filled with annoying advertisements.

The site is completely free to use. No advertisements and no selling of user data. However, I do offer a paid tier for users that want more jigsaw puzzles and difficulty options.

On the technical side, I'm using Svelte on the frontend with a tiny bit of wasm, and Rust for a few backend APIs. I hope the site feels snappy, it's one of the main reasons why I decided to build it.

There's a demo puzzle linked on the home page for anyone who doesn't want to sign up! I'd recommend trying it on a computer or tablet as mobile is still a little rough around the edges.

Happy to answer any questions about it!
