Thanks for showing this off!

I played through the daily puzzle:

1. It was really hard in dark mode to see what I was doing

2. Scanning was almost impossible without clicking and seeing the runs -- so it was mostly fully pencil mark and find pairs and triples.

Overall, unique, but I think some further constraints or human-setters (as you mentioned) could lead to more intuitive or clever paths to a solution.

(Perhaps instead of lines, shade the cells in the runs to avoid clutter with borders and writing over numbers)

I removed dark mode because it was too hard to make a dark color scheme that was as legible as light.

the puzzle now shows all runs all the time.

Lol and I wondered why it came back light after reload. It was really fun after you got past the UX hurdles! Pity there aren't more online.
