Browser extension for downloading .puz/.jpz files from Crossword applets
There's nothing too groundbreaking here - a great PuzzleMe -> PUZ/JPZ bookmarklet was posted here just last week, and xword-dl can pull puzzles from applets as well - but my hope is this makes it a bit easier to use and keep up to date, and also supports a few more formats + has a bit deeper compatibility for trickier puzzles.

Want to create my own crossword - cryptic or otherwise. Any resources/websites?
https://crosshare.org/ is worth a look. Lets you build a grid and then 'autofills' suggested words around the words you enter. (And then you can overwrite the suggestions, and it gives more).

Trying to Create a Mini Puzzle Everyday
Hi all, I've gotten pretty into constructing over the past 6 months (and more seriously over the past 2). My goal is to get one lightly-themed mini up on Crosshare everyday. There's a few full-size and midi puzzles up as well. Would love any and all feedback (especially from those that enjoy bite-sized puzzles)!
