Description
I built Sudoku for Dad after watching my dad play Sudoku on apps full of ads, pop-ups and clutter. I thought I could make him something nicer, clean, simple and focused on the puzzle. After a lot of feedback (Dad is a surprisingly demanding product tester), it’s reached the point where he actually prefers it. No ads, no subscriptions, no nonsense. Just Sudoku.

Could you build this?
Yes Sudoku board generation, validation algorithms, and a clean ad-free UI are classic software projects that modern AI assistants can write entirely from scratch in an afternoon.
