This is another reminder that round 5 of the WPF Puzzle GP (https://gp.worldpuzzle.org/content/puzzle-gp), brought to you from Japanese authors, is currently running! The competition has been extended until Friday, so plenty more opportunities to earn yourself an 🦦. I would recommend trying the puzzles, they're very good. Anyway, here is a Star Battle.

Rules: Place stars into some cells such that each row, column, and outlined region contains exactly N stars. The value of N is given outside the grid. Stars may not touch one another, not even diagonally.

Here are some of the most recent Star Battle puzzles in GAPP:
