I built this, the list started as a tutorial and then grew out of control. Especially when I started experimenting with mixing text and interactive elements. I think nonograms are underrated and relatively unknown, I hope this text changes it a little.<p>I link to my app[1] frequently, it's free right now, I hope this is fine. There's no Android version yet; for anyone who wants to try nonograms on an Android smartphone I recommend Simon Tatham's Puzzles[2] - like my app it is also free, has no ads, etc; nonograms there are called "pattern".<p>Feedback very welcome; thanks! If you use other nonogram solving techniques and want me to add them to the list please share too.<p>[1]: <a href="https://lab174.com/nonoverse/" rel="nofollow">https://lab174.com/nonoverse/</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details</a>
