thanks for the puzzle series.
this one gave me a bit of trouble, had to restart 2-3 times, kept messing up in the very early pencilmarks

Rules in the linked puzzle changed, (finally!!) and the solution code shortened by half.

Thanks for your puzzle. I like thermo puzzles, even though I'm not the best solver, I was able to persevere and get through it.
https://sudokumaker.app/ seems to have a slow thermo tool and solution checker /solver so might help with your construction difficulties.
If your are forced to use Penpa you can make it into a Sudokupad link using

Hello Big Tiger, there is an instruction about palindromes only because the software does not allow thermometers to be longer than 9 cells, which isn't enough in this design, so, to combat this, the most similar looking line is the palindrome line. It is either that or Penpa, which can cope with the patterning but fails at number input. Swings and roundabouts. There are no intended palindromes in the puzzle.

Why is there an instruction about palindromes in the SudokuApp version?
