I've got this “nonogram”/“picross” puzzle game on my phone, which has a few built-in puzzles, but the bulk of it is solving user-created puzzles. Obviously most of them are terrible, as user-created content often is, although the ranking system helps. However, there's this one user, Tattel, who is absolutely dominating their one specific niche:

- 15x15, black-and-white puzzles
- perfectly following the strict rules of making human-solvable nonograms
- exclusively drawings of birds
- not just “different poses of a generic bird”, but every picture is a different and specific species
- they're so good that even I, relatively bird-ignorant, can recognise some of them by sight
- there are dozens of these things

This is some Susan Kare-tier craft, and it deserves more recognition than being buried among ten-thousand user-generated puzzles in some free-to-play app in the Play Store.
