After testing bakpao's puzzle, I was inspired to revisit Shakashaka (Half & Half) (or as Menderbug pointed out, Quarter & Three-Quarters...). This is a type I first made a few years ago, and it's just as fun to set as I remembered it being! If you are Shakashaka-inclined, give it a try! c:

Rules: Shade an isosceles right triangle in some empty cells, each of which occupies exactly half of a cell, such that all unshaded areas form rectangles. A numbered clue indicates the number of orthogonally adjacent cells containing triangles. Exactly half of the cells in a cage contain triangles.

Interface Note: In Penpa+, unlike pzprxs/puzz.link, left-click places a dot, and left-click+drag places a triangle entirely shading the corner that was dragged towards. Compared to pzprxs/puzz.link, I personally find this harder on desktop but easier on mobile, so your mileage may vary.
