App Updates
The updates to applications in Flathub are coming thick and fast. Today, we’ve reformatted this update to include a screenshot and the short application description. While we’ve had some feedback that it’s useful to have these posts to discover something new, we feel the screenshot makes it less of a “wall of text” and thus more interesting.
Feedback is welcome as always! Anyway, on with the updates for today!

- Any row contains more than one of the same number from 1 to 9
- Any column contains more than one of the same number from 1 to 9
- Any 3×3 grid contains more than one of the same number from 1 to 9
