[This puzzle was created with the friends in my stream. Thanks for your help everyone! You can find a VOD of its creation here ]
Fillomino: Divide the grid into ominos so that no two ominos of the same size touch orthogonally. Fill each omino with its size.
Shading: Shade some ominos so that every omino is either entirely shaded or entirely unshaded and no two shaded ominos touch orthogonally.
Yajiln-ish: Draw a loop that moves orthogonally through the center of every unshaded cell (and no shaded cells). The loop must visit every unshaded omino exactly once.
Arrows: An arrow indicates that the number of shaded cells in the direction of the arrow is equal to the number in that cell. Arrow cells may be shaded or unshaded. Multiple arrows in the same cell should be treated separately.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
This puzzle is available on Sudokupad and on Penpa.
PS: I stream solving sudoku like puzzles two days a week. You can check out the channel, as well as some videos I have made about setting puzzles, at my YouTube channel here.
Solution code: Column 8. Enter each omino's size exactly once with no spaces. For instance, if the column was 5 5 5 5 4 1 5 5 5 14 then the solution code would be 541514

Cool puzzle and a great ruleset - the rules do a lot even without any clues, which leads to a lot of neat interactions
