I registered just to see what the puzzles were. Some thoughts:

I found that you can answer the same puzzle multiple times, which you probably want to change.

For three of the puzzles, if you submit a blank form the website breaks.

You should make it more obvious how many sickles a user has. And why are they sickles anyway?

I don't know if this breaks your idea, but maybe add trivia questions as well as puzzles. That might be helpful when you're struggling to find new puzzles, and if a theme built up it might help build a community.

Good find on the blank submission. :-) Just pushed up a new build

Answering the same puzzle multiple times is by design: most of them randomly generate (except meaningoflife). And in theory our algorithm scales your reward based on the real-world difficulty of the problem. I'm sure it will take some tweaking, but it looks like meaningoflife is handing out 5-10 sickles at the moment, spiralling downward with each solve, while the resistor lattice is in the hundreds of sickles.

Sickle balance is on the page footer. Did you miss it? Should we move it to the top somewhere?

What kind of trivia questions do you want to see?

I didn't realise most puzzles change, I just answered the Meaning of Life three times and assumed I was cheating.

As for the sickle balance, I did find it, but think having username and balance on the top right works well on HN. Somewhere near the top would be an improvement on having it in the footer.

I didn't have any trivia questions in mind, I just figured the kind of people who like puzzles are probably mostly the same as those who like trivia. Maybe that's too easy to game though.
