MySpeedPuzzling

Another BIG feature just dropped… please welcome Marketplace and Chat messages 👏🎉 Got puzzles at home you won’t solve again? Pass them on to fellow puzzlers through our brand new Marketplace 😉 Marketplace is where you’ll find (almost) all puzzles listed in users’ Sell/Swap folders. When you add a puzzle to Sell/Swap — yes, Members-only perk, so become one too 😉 — you can also choose to display it on the Marketplace. We’re a worldwide community 🌍 so before selling/swapping/gifting, just fill in a few simple details (like where you’re willing to ship). It’s only a few clicks and it helps buyers filter listings easily (hello “Ship to my country” filter👌). Too many people asking if a puzzle is still available? Mark it as Reserved 😅 Successful deal? Rate each other ⭐ Far away from the seller? That’s why we added Messages ✉️
You can chat directly on MySpeedPuzzling.com — about Marketplace deals or just puzzling in general. Messaging is for registered users only! New conversations land in Messages → Requests, and you decide whether to accept or ignore them. If someone gets a bit too “enthusiastic” 😇 you can block or report them 💪 We originally built Messages just for Marketplace… but after all that work, we thought why not make it available everywhere? For now, it’s a simple chat… but who knows what upgrades might come next 👀 We can’t wait to see puzzles finding new homes 🧩💛 ⚠️ Important: Marketplace on MySpeedPuzzling.com only connects buyers and sellers. All agreements, payments, and shipping arrangements — whether through our chat or elsewhere — are entirely your responsibility. We are not involved in transactions and cannot take liability for them.
Please think carefully before sending money in advance or sharing personal details. Stay safe & puzzle smart 🧩💛

🗳️ A feature no one asked for... that fixes exactly the problem of building features no one asked for. Have you noticed? There's a shiny new "Feature Requests" section on MySpeedPuzzling! 🎉 Here's the deal: I've been guessing what you want. Sometimes I've been right. Sometimes I've built things into the void and heard... crickets. 🦗 So in a beautiful act of irony, I built one more thing — to make sure I never build the wrong thing again. Here's how it works: → Every month you get 3 feature request slots to pitch your wildest ideas → You also get 3 votes to throw behind the things you actually want (they stack — vote 3× on one thing if you're passionate about it) → The most upvoted ideas get built first. Simple as that. The roadmap is community-driven — always has been in spirit, now it's official. Your votes literally shape what comes next. So if you've ever thought "why doesn't MySpeedPuzzling have X?" — now's your moment. 👇 Vote wisely. Vote selfishly. Vote for that one niche feature only you and your puzzling group will use. We'll be watching. 👀

⏱️ The stopwatch just got a MAJOR glow-up! ✨ We completely redesigned and rebuilt it from scratch — it’s more reliable, smoother, and looks way nicer. 😍 Unfortunately, it won’t make your times any faster… sorry about that! 😂🧩 And finally… you can now keep your display always on! 🔆 Honestly, how did we ever live without that? 😅 But wait, there’s more! 🎁 Exclusively for MSP members — while you puzzle, you can now see in real time: 🥇 Where you rank 👀 How you stand against your friends ⚡ Fastest time, average time & all your favorites — right there while you puzzle! We’re super proud of this one, but now we need YOU! 🫵 Please try it out and tell us: ✅ Does everything work smoothly? 💡 What would you love to see next? Because we say it often and we truly mean it — your feedback and this amazing community is what drives us forward. You are the reason we keep building. ❤️🧩 Go puzzle. Go time. Go tell us what you think! ⏱️🔥

🧩 We love puzzles. We love puzzlers. And yes… we love code too! 💻❤️ Big news from the MySpeedPuzzling workshop! We’ve just opened the doors for developers to build awesome things on top of MSP. 🚀 What does that mean? In simple terms — other apps and tools can now securely connect with your MSP profile. You’ll always be in control: just like when you log in with Google somewhere, you simply say “Yes, I allow this” — and the magic happens. ✅ Why is this exciting? Imagine: 🏆 Competition organizers connecting their events directly to MSP ⏱️ Your competition times flowing straight into your MSP profile — no manual entry 🔗 And so much more we haven’t even dreamed up yet… This is just the beginning. We can’t wait to see what the community builds! 👋 Calling all developers! If you have an idea, a project, or just a spark of curiosity - reach out. We’re here to support you, help you connect, and build something amazing together. Oh, and one more thing… 👀 We’ve been quietly working on a LOT of small improvements lately. And just maybe, maybe… the very first MSP newsletter EVER is landing in your inboxes in the next couple of weeks. 💌🎉 Stay tuned. Big things are puzzling together. 🧩✨

🧩❤️ Puzzles. Food. Wine. Feedback. Repeat. What a weekend with @terezak.85 and @mariarusnakova ! Amazing puzzling sessions, delicious food, fine wine — and a TON of brainstorming about the future of MySpeedPuzzling. This platform is built on YOUR feedback, and there’s nothing better than sitting down with fellow puzzlers to dream up what’s next. 🙌 Oh, and about “what’s next”… 👀🔥 A big new exciting feature is already being tested and will be dropping within DAYS. We seriously can’t wait for you to try it! To every single one of you who’s been with us on this journey to build the best puzzling platform ever — THANK YOU. You’re the reason we do this. 🙏 Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you spending it with a puzzle and good company… and honestly, to everyone else too! 💕

🧩🚀 This is a BIG one! You asked, we listened — a lot. Probably the 2nd most requested feature is finally here 👀 👉 “Suggest a change” 👉 “Report duplicate” Missing EAN? Blurry or low quality image? Wrong brand code? Inaccurate name or piece count? 👉 No problem! Suggest a change, we’ll carefully review it — and once approved, everyone benefits 💛 Every suggestion helps keep the database clean, accurate, and community-driven 🧠🧩 And this is only the beginning… Once the feature is fully battle-tested, we’ll open suggestion administration to community volunteers 🤝🔥 💬 Your turn: What should we build next? What’s the next big thing for the speed puzzling community? Drop your ideas in the comments ⬇️

🚀 Keeping our another day, another new feature! Because our priority is making adding puzzles as easy as possible, we’ve got something new for you! 🧩 You can now scan the EAN barcode when adding a puzzle! ✨ If the EAN already exists in our database, we’ll find the puzzle for you ✨ If not, we’ll at least try to identify the brand It was tricky to handle edge cases like puzzle multipacks with the same EANs or brands with the same GS1 prefix (Yes, looking at you @ravensburgerglobal + @puzzlesnathan 👀), but we did it! Fewer clicks, less typing, more puzzling 🧩⚡ Though we did not post yesterday, it does not mean, we did not add anything new! ✨ Yesterday we added simple editor allowing cropping+rotation of your puzzle images. ✨ Validation of PPM (too fast or too slow) now happens real-time and in case of “suspicious” time, you will be asked to re-check. We hope you’ll love this update - and as always, let us know what you think or what we should build next! 💬💛

Another day, another new feature! 🚀 Have you tried it already? 👀 New filters on profile + a fresh “favorites only” filter on the puzzle page was recently added! Filters got our attention now. 😅 What do you think? What would you love to see next?

📊 New Feature Alert! 📊 You can now export all your own data directly from MySpeedPuzzling.com! Perfect for all the data nerds 🧠 out there – analyze your puzzle times, find trends, track your progress… the possibilities are endless! 🔍📈 💬 We’d love to hear how you use your data so we can turn your ideas into real features on the platform! 🧩✨ 🗣️ Don’t forget: your feedback means the world to us and directly impacts what we build next! 🚀

🎉 IT’S FINALLY HERE! 🎉 It took a little longer than planned…but WOW, this update is huge. Like…30,000+ lines-of-code huge😅🚀 And yes, many of you guessed it! If you wrote Library, Collections, Organizing puzzles, Borrowing, Wishlist and similar…you were RIGHT! 🧩✨ This release is all about helping you organize your puzzle library and especially track who you borrowed your puzzles to/from. No more forgetting who has your favourite puzzle! 😉 But that’s not all… 🔥 NEW: Sale / Swap Listings! You can now list your puzzles for sale or swap directly on myspeedpuzzling.com. (Direct messaging on the platform isn’t here yet — but don’t worry, it is coming 😉) 😌 NEW: Relax Puzzling Mode! We gave the “Add Time” form a mini redesign again. You can now log puzzles you solved without timing yourself!

‘Evenings in Paris’, 500 pieces from @ravensburgeranz This is an older speed puzzle I completed in May 2024, which I decided to repeat this month just following the speed puzzling workshop held by @meltownsend_ , employing some new tips and tricks, but also to see how far I’ve come with a lot of practice and training overall this year. On my first run, I remember STRUGGLING. I hadn’t learnt so many things yet. I struggled with the detail of the bottom section, then got stuck thinking of what I should tackle next, before making my way through the sky and trees. I think I would’ve left the border for last as I was constantly doing back then. My logged time on @myspeedpuzzling is 1 hour 45 mins, with 4 pieces per minute. Under my two hour goal back then, but still, le sigh. Sitting down in front of it again, my goal these days is under 90 minutes, with sub 80 minutes being a really great time for me. My second time around, it was border first, and then with my love of gradients, it was gradient first - working top down, plugging in the Eiffel Tower as I went, outlining the trees and edges of buildings but not filling them in. Then the bottom section was picking colour and pattern rather than detail. The only part that was the same was ending on the trees, with a quick bit of shape sorting. My second time around? 1 hour 19 mins, a 2 piece per minute improvement and a 26 minute improvement overall. Absolutely stoked with that!
