Two proposals for improving replay value of puzzles

I love doing puzzles (having done more than 6500), but I really miss 2 options that I can't seem to do in an easy way:

1) Add a puzzle to one of your puzzle collections. Like adding a song to your playlist. I often come across interesting or cute puzzles that I would like to replay later or use for a puzzle collection for coaching. The only way I find to make such a collection at the moment is to manually store the puzzle link in some notepad file or the like. Very cumbersome. It would be great with a "puzzle playlist" or similar puzzle collection feature. And of course, to be able to share a collection with other users (and see their completion rate!).

2) Another fundamental feature is to allow an easy way to do previous puzzles. Not just the ones you missed, but really any puzzles you did previously. I believe this has an immense value for learning, just think of how popular the woodpecker method is. But I can't seem to find any easy way to do this. There would be many ways to implement variations of this, but I am imagining either something very simple like "replay previous puzzles from this date to this date, chronologically or in random order" or, more advanced, to allow some kind of filtering along tactical themes, rating and dates.

OK, now that we are talking about it, a little 3rd option would also be great:

3) Play puzzles from a specific rating band, rather than just the current difficulty settings of easy or easiest or normal or or harder or hardest. It would be nice to be able to pull, say, puzzles between 1900 and 2000.

Thanks for your attention.
I see this has been requested before, but I can see no reponse to it and the post is now closed.

It would be a really good idea to be able to personalise a puzzle list, and surely it can't be too difficult for the clever chaps and chapesses at Lichess, can it? Please consider and implement if possible; so many of us would be so grateful.
