Popping in to agree with the others that the cooldown after getting a question right is extremely annoying. Worse, pushing the Enter key always resubmits the first question's answer, not the answer I currently have selected (the one I just finished typing), meaning I have to wait for the cooldown AGAIN. I think PicoMan has the right idea to reduce the cooldown to 3 seconds.

What always irritated me on ITH was the static cooldown number, refreshes only when clicking 'Submit'... thus one never knows when it ends without clicking again. I think such a thing should auto-refresh, and the button be disabled until the countdown ends (like, you can even show the countdown on the button itself).
...and also, where are the hints ? I would need one for #3, it points to an obscure youtube video, but then ? it's not the unicode emoji, and in ascii it's only garbage. The three others are much much more easier...

Reduced the cooldown timer, and great idea, will add active timer (counting down the seconds to a new attempt) and disable the button.
There will be hint system in the future, and for this one, I will add tomorrow hints here, because I thought the questions was easy for ItsTooHard veterans.

I love the frame for the puzzle -- no more creating the frame w/the puzzle pieces, finding out there isn't enough room for it as it stretches into the area I've spread loose pieces in, and then having to move them around to make room. For that matter, it's hard to tell with so few pieces in the 1st puzzle, but I never liked how jigidi dumps all the pieces on top of each other at the start, as if spreading the pieces out to not overlap each other is an important part of solving the puzzle. Maybe the default behavior could start with all the pieces randomly spread around the frame, outside of it and not overlapping each other, but pretty tightly packed together so you could easily zoom in as much as possible while still seeing everything. The non-overlapping thing doesn't have to be perfect with each piece's protrusions, but maybe you could even make it so that it doesn't allow pieces to be placed on top of each other, and if you try to do that, the 2 pieces will just swap places, which would make sorting easier, but maybe that's too hard. Wow, I didn't think I would write that much, but I guess I have a lot of pent-up frustration w/Jigidi.

I can confirm that the jigsaw is not working on Firefox (latest updates, Windows 11). The quiz worked fine, and I left my feedback in the giveaway.
Amazing contributions you are making to the community! Keep up the great work :)
Also, I agree with others that Steam OpenId would be more secure/safe than creating a login.

Given the loss of It's Too hard, it's cool to have an alterative, and it worked as I expected. I personally didn't notice anything too strange although I didn't go out of my way to break anything. Saving current completion would be the thing I want most that's currently not there.
The jigsaw was a bit weird personally. I guess I'm just used to the way jigidi does it with the piece clicking in vs matching pieces on a fixed grid. A major issue I did have is with the zoom functionality though. By default some pieces were out of screen so I moved my scroll wheel one notch it was way too zoomed out. So I try to zoom back in but that goes too close. In the end I just reset the puzzle, never touched the zoom and shifted around the screen with right click when needed.
In both cases I got steamgifts giveaway links which I assume work. The one in the jigsaw wasn't copyable, which would be a nice convenience.

The quiz part is ok
But the puzzle part sucks, jigidi.com is better

The jigsaw puzzle pieces appear in random places but you may want to make it so at least one piece is guaranteed to appear inside the puzzle box. The first time i loaded there were only a sliver of a single piece visible at the edge of the screen (outside the box) and the box took up nearly all the screen because my primary display is only 1600x900 resolution. Since I didn't notice the sliver of a piece I assumed the puzzle was still loading and after a while I thought maybe the box was a CSS glitch and tried scrolling down, only to have the puzzle zoom out and see the pieces. This wasn't an issue when I tried it on my higher resolution secondary display.
Can you fit the box to only take up a % of screen space by default, to account for various resolutions?

Is this even supported project still? Like are you interested in bug reports and stuff, are there release notes anywhere? Cause itstoohard.com is no more and as far as I'm aware, there aren't many services like this

Q.site down?
A.
Jexel 1/26 9:25
Yes, the site is down for now. There wasn't much activity on the site so it wasn't worth paying for another year of hosting. I'll revive it in the cloud at some point though.
I do not know when it will be restored, other than this information.

Hi, there isn't support yet, however the initial plan was to add markdown (similar to the SG posts/comments), which supports images, but not many people were/are using the site + I had some private problems, which resulted in me not implementing it.
Adding only image(s) support is easier, so I may add that soon.
Thanks for taking interest in the project.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm sorry to hear about your issues, I hope things are looking up :)
I used the old site a lot in the past, but I have kinda moved away from SG puzzles.
However I am part of a different community now that do puzzles with images and quizzes with trivia sometimes, so I have been looking at your project to maybe do some of those :)
It would just be me posting 10 images instead of questions, and they have to guess what each represents, so as you said, only "simple" image code is needed. I say "simple", because I can't do it, but it should be simple for you :)
But please focus on you! I'd rather see a happy healthy MikBok117 :)

I like your project.
Yesterday I struggled with a quiz, and eventually realized I was getting the answer wrong because I'd left a space at the end of my answer. I realize this is a user-generated-problem, but it may help overall to snip spaces off of user's guesses (and the puzzle-creator's specified solutions).
Also, your header above still lists the Pause button as coming soon, but it's live (and a nice addition).
Thanks for supporting our community with this tool!

May I suggest sanitizing input when after a user submits an answer:

any chance of adding options for multi choice answers like we say 4 answers and one is correct and they have to select it or to have pictures included in the questions - thanks

Hey there MikBok117 - just a quick head's up that the certificate for the 2solve.me domain has expired today. (2023-12-19)

Starting today, I and another user are getting "page not found" when trying to view a quiz, and I'm getting an error when trying to log in.

Hello fellow Steam Gifters,
2 months ago I shared my first project here with you, from which I got an amazing comments and feedback. Thanks to you, I implemented some of the suggestions and will work on it more when I get more free time (its on pause at the moment).
I joined SteamGifts 10 years ago and even though I wasn't an active contributor through those years I still visited it almost everyday to check out the discussions to see what's happening. One of my favorite things here were the puzzle giveaways. I have solved many and have created a few on ItsTooHard as well. Sadly as many of you know, ItsTooHard doesn't exist anymore and because of that, in my last project discussion I promised that I will create something similar, so the puzzle creators can continue making fun puzzles for invite only SG giveaways in them.
So today, I am presenting to you the alpha version of my 2nd public project: 2Solve.Me - web application for solving and creating your own jigsaw and quiz puzzles.
Current features list:
Jigsaw Puzzles:
Try it out: 1st Jigsaw Puzzle for SteamGifts with Invite Only Giveaway [Giveaway Ended]
Quiz Puzzles:
Try it out: 1st Quiz Puzzle for SteamGifts with Invite Only Giveaway [Giveaway Ended]
Keep in mind that this is work in progress and there will be bugs, with time I plan to fix everything and polish it, even add more puzzle games, depending if there will be interest in it. This is a hobby project, so I am working on it when I have free time, mostly on the weekends.
If you have any feedback, suggestions, ideas and what to implement next, please share them with me, I will be happy to hear them and make the site better.
Edit: Fixed some of the game breaking bugs, please clear the browser cache/session and refresh the page.
Will try to improve the performance of the jigsaw on older computers. The jigsaw game has some problems on Firefox, it's is working for some people and for some people still not, I am working on fixing this issue.
