Here's one from a few months ago that I never got round to uploading on LMD.
Rules:- 1-9 must be placed in each row and column.
- No 3s are allowed in the corner cells, or in the spotlight (the white central area).
- A purple line contains a set of non-repeating consecutive digits, in any order.
- Diagonally adjacent identical digits are connected by an equals sign. All such possible signs are given.

Please leave a comment if you enjoy :)
Solution code: Column 8 (9 digits reading downwards)

Another mind bender without boxes. I think I was solving it wrong, because I still have no idea why it works. Time to see CTC to see what I was missing.

What a lovely puzzle - I never got stuck but never got racing either!
I liked the way new ideas were introduced all the way through.
Another wonderful gem!
