Inspiration for today's puzzle comes from 2024's World Puzzle Championship. Not much else to mention - enjoy your Sunday!

Today's puzzle is a Yajisan-Kazusan (Triangular)!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. If a cell with a number in it is unshaded, the number represents how many shaded cells are in a straight line in the indicated direction. If a cell with a number in it is shaded, the number is meaningless.

GAPP 101: Connectivity is very constrained in a triangular grid! Keep an eye out for corridors through which the unshaded cells have to connect and make sure you don't cut them off with the shaded cells.
