disclaimer: i created it to scratch my own itch for the reason you list

it's a good idea to allow multiple categories directly though, but thought i'd keep it simple!

I've blocked reddit and now rely on getting the top updates from the niche communities I care about: https://redditletter.com

There were no "declarative" sourdough bread recipe calculator, so I built one: https://breadfriend.com. All other recipe generators are based on entering the amount of flour and water -- but what you're (usually) caring about is the ratio % and total dough size.

I was curious when I could get Vitamin D from the sun where I live, and started fiddling with sun angles and created: https://whencanigetvitamind.com.

I think there is so much great content from the smaller, slower, more "niche" subreddits that I felt I was missing out on unless I was actively looking for it. I created redditletter out of a personal want to reduce my own "doomscrolling" of reddit without losing out on this human, slower content.

Subscribing, you will receive a weekly (or daily) email of the top posts from the subreddits you choose. We've also categorized the subreddits, allowing you to search for a category or subject that interests you and discover content across multiple related subreddits.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions to make redditletter better. Do you have any favorite, hidden gem subreddits you'd want to receive weekly digests for?

I got tired of using Google Docs for songwriting as it didn't have some things I wanted to have, such as annotating directly in the lyrics without a super awkward notation. In addition to that, I thought it'd be nice to get a clearer overview of rhymes and syllables. Arguably it might be useful for writing poetry as well, but I think to a way less extent.

There's no native app for the phones yet, but might be something for the future. But there is a dark mode!

Let me know what you think or if you have any questions! :-)

There's a bunch of sourdough calculators out there --- but one of the things I missed was the ability to just write that I wanted a loaf of total 800g weight, x% hydration, and have the final loaf consist of 20% spelt, 10% whole wheat and rest wheat for example. So, I decided to create a calculator like this for myself, and I thought I'd share it with you. Hope you find it useful!

Some of these problems can be quite tricky to write regular code for, but just stating the constraints and letting Prolog plan/solve it can be simpler.
