Stats for Puzzle solved #10

Open nswami15 opened 1 year ago

Would be nice to have statistics for puzzles attempted/solved across various categories calculated rating based on solved/attempts for such categories. Ability to reset statistics and start all over again

Hello,

Hmm, at the very beginning I had thought about adding some basic statistics, but to be honest now I'm not a fan of adding stats/rating for a simple training app like this, it ends up creating a lot of frustration/anxiety (of course the person could ignore it, but it's hard to do if it's there).

It also doesn't make sense for the majority of use cases since we can select a specific puzzle rating, if we are trying to do hard puzzles, we will get a lot of them wrong not because we have trouble with that theme, but simply by the difficulty itself, and vice-versa when we select easy puzzles, statistics wouldn't be very meaningful.

Perhaps somewhere along the way we may find a nice way to integrate this feature, but I don't see it right now, I think it makes more sense to use this app as a complement of other training activities where one do have these statistics.
