I definitely see the first part of the title -- not so sure of the second, though it provided a good chuckle.

It has a sister puzzle with basically the same title backwards. Hopefully it gets published soon, but the mods have refused a lot of my tiny puzzles.
Interestingly I had the idea for this puzzle's sister first.

The sister puzzle is considered a duplicate; I don't think it can get published.
replyIf this was flipped upside down, could be a table vice!

That's the beauty of tiny puzzles: they can be seen as anything. Unfortunately, the mods will refuse to publish pictures they consider to be "too abstract".
replySilly question: what do you use for software to make these? I tried checking backwards from the file types accepted for submission, but couldnt find much

I use Photoshop and save the file as a gif. There are definitely much better programs out there.
replyI have been curious about the same thing! I upload puzzles to this site, and I wrote my own software to convert an image to the format that "pbnsolve" uses so I could check solveability while editing. Eventually, I went a little overboard and turned it into a dedicated nonogram editor... But I'm really curious what the normal workflow is!

Do I need to add a spoiler when talking about other nonograms?
For my micro puzzles, I get into a creative flow-state really easily. I don't really think about if it would be a good puzzle, instead I think about if it's a good picture. I have submitted about 50 micros, but the mods refused most of them.
For my large puzzles, I draw my image then submit it to see what parts are solvable. I then edit and resubmit it repeatedly until it's solvable. I usually add details like the anvil in "Hephaestus" for the first few submissions. I submitted over 20 versions of "Hephaestus" before it got marked as solvable.
I'm more of a pixel artist than a puzzle designer, but the feedback has been very positive, so I don't worry too much about it.

In another puzzle that won't get published because it was flagged for being too similar to this one.
