I run a site called Puzzles for Progress (puzzlesforprogress.net) where I post crossword/sudoku-style puzzles. I posted three(ish) puzzles every week from July 2020 to December 2021 (plus a book with six exclusive puzzles which I mostly made June/July 2021, but minus a break in August). I then took another break in January 2022, and have been posting biweekly (the every-two-weeks kind) since February.

For approximately the first year of Puzzles for Progress, I consistently had a few weeks' backlog, but inevitably procrastination got the better of me and my backlog eroded. Since I switched to biweekly, I expected to be able to develop a backlog, but this has not happened. Along with procrastination, I attribute this to a combination of being a bit less excited about the project and becoming more perfectionistic about puzzle making - though I still have fun making the puzzles.

Anyway, I have zero backlog going into this academic year. Puzzles for Progress has almost 90 subscribers, and TinyURL analytics tell me that most puzzles get 40 ±20 views (some of which come from non-subscribers). I don't know what proportion of these translate to solves. I would love to continue biweekly, and I think some of these people do actually look forward to my puzzles, but along with school and other things it might prove to be too much for me to do happily.

Anyway, this market resolves YES if I plan to post at least three puzzles every two weeks, as I currently am, going into 2023. It resolves NO if I go off a schedule, or go to a less frequent one like monthly (or even one puzzle every week, since that's fewer puzzles overall). If I planned to take a break during January again or something and to return to biweekly afterward, the market would still resolve YES.
