Thank you for your interesting suggestion. I was not aware of the "community blog" section before.
I am currently occupied with creating new features, but I will work on it ASAP. Thank you again for your suggestion, I appreciate it.

@ebadi I think you are also welcomed to post it in the general chess forum.
It is chess related, and maybe more people would notice it there?
Now I don't know, what your future plans are with this game. If it's just a hobby, or perhaps you plan/hope for monetary gain?
But if it is intended as open source and forever free?
Perhaps you could ask Lichess to give you permission to post in their GitHub?, and perhaps some volunteers would want to help translate it to different languages?
Or in other ways help you improve.
It is Chess related after all, and Lichess is all about promoting the game for a bigger audience.
I don't know Lichess stance on this?
Or your own future plans for it.
All respect if you hope to earn a little money..
It's a nice puzzle after all.
But if you don't do it for a prospect of money, Lichess have a great group of people behind them, who may or may not wanna help?
But they only work for free ;-)
Just an idea.
Perhaps change the colours on the square, instead of the numbers on the board.
Visually I think this would be more pleasant on the eyes. There are so many numbers already.
For example: if one or more squares are correct, then the whole square turns green, instead of just the number.
Likewise if it is incorrect, have the whole square turn red.
Visually this would be more pleasant for the viewer.
And if you have a blank square, that is in +/- , then highlight it with a different shade of black/white.
Similar to how Lichess highlights the possible moves.

Thanks for your elaborate comment. I have no real plan in place at this moment. However, I am focusing on promoting the game and allowing everyone to playing it for free. I want to keep all options open and see how things develop.

Great comment. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.
I actually thought about it but I came up with the conclusion that it might be difficult for beginner to understand the game and quickly and clearly associate different shades of color with its corresponding number. I also believe that the simplicity of the puzzle, including the ability to print and play it offline like a sudoku puzzle, is an important feature of the game.
At this time, I think I better keep those numbers in the square. However, I totally agree with you that additionally changing the square color can improve the game. I am open to suggestions for the right color scheme for the squares, as I am not particularly skilled in design and color and previously I may had difficulty finding a combination that works well. If you have any ideas or recommendations, I would be very grateful to hear them.

Can you tell us more about the dev behind it? Is there a github page or will it be strictly closed source?
Greetings.

Yes, that link is what I meant:

@ebadi I didn't mean you should remove the numbers.
Just ment you should highlight the squares, instead of the numbers.
Currently you are highlighting the numbers, but not the squares.
I think neutral squares, should be highlighted with a brighter shade.
So if I have a neutral black square +1, then it should show as a brighter black. Simultaneously as it currently shows +- numbers.
In other words:
Neutral square 0 = normal black/white Color.
Neutral incorrect square (+-) = highlighted black/white Color.
Number square correct = green
Number square incorrect = red
I think this makes it easier to visually focus the players attention.
And more rewarding when you finish a tough puzzle, and see the squares (not numbers) highlighted in green.

No website uses a black/white board, so I think you mean the board colors when we play a chess game in lichess.
"highlighted black/white Color." : you mean different shades of the background color?
I wish you could show it by linking to an image.

I see, I will give it a try when I find the time. Thanks for your suggestion.
