Many of them!

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.

Reddit letter looks cool but only seems to allow one category

thanks! yes, if you want to have multiple categories, you'll have to click the "advanced" button which allows you to pick multiple individual subreddits from a category into a single newsletter.

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