Calling a javascript function in a view in rails 7
I'm trying to integrate exolve, a javascript crossword player, into a rails app. exolve ships as a javascript file that has a global createExolve function, and is used by creating an HTML file with a script tag containing a call to createExolve, with the contents of the crossword passed as a string to the function.

Kickstarter for AVCX crossword expansion: including a weekly cryptic!
I've backed their kickstarter and have left them a comment plugging Exolve (https://github.com/viresh-ratnakar/exolve/blob/master/README.md) to them for setting up interactive online crosswords.

POTD: Cold Comfort
I've made a couple of variety cryptics before, but thought I'd share this little thematic one I made recently, inspired by an illness. Hopefully I've got the eXolve working correctly. All feedback welcome, good luck!

POTD: Teammates
Through a curious turn of events (the link has at least one spoiler), I ended up looking at the Exolve source code for this crossword, so I didn't really get to solve it. But I loved the theme and the ninas—very well constructed!

New weekly cryptic, edited by Dan Feyer
I'm surprised you haven't provided an on-site interactive version, especially as you could easily do that now at no/low cost using the superb open-source Exolve software – the creator of which is occasional visitor here, /u/wavefn. Note the FAQ at the bottom of the readme explicitly states that it's free for commercial use. The software includes a simple 'widget' function for embedding crosswords in any page, so I guess that would be useful for you. To see it in action check out any of our community crosswords (e.g. #12) and be sure to use one of the 'Reveal' buttons to see how we embed annotations with each clue. I think that's a great way for newcomers to learn how clues are constructed – which strikes me as particularly important for American publications given they don't usually have parsing/discussion sites like the British ones Fifteen Squared (all the free publications), Big Dave's (The Telegraph), and Times for the Times (The Times).

A new Python package for crossword creators
For those who might be interested, I wanted to share a new Python package I've developed for crossword construction called blacksquare. My hope is that there are some other constructors out there who might be interested in experimenting with programmatic puzzle building. It's designed to work well inside Jupyter notebooks, with full HTML rendering and .puz/.pdf export. It also has algorithms to help find solutions for unfilled areas.
