I took the other approach: I ditched the algorithm for newsletters: https://redditletter.com

If you'd rather get a daily/weekly digest for the niche tech subs, you can use https://redditletter.com

Oddly fitting, I wrote this many years ago that you might like: https://andreasscherman.com/posts/an-introduction-to-constra...

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!

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.

Hi! Sorry for the late answer. Yes! That is possible. You click the ”advanced flow” checkbox, from there you can write in a single subreddit in the box, add it and subscribe. :-) Let me know how it goes!

Hi HN!

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?

Here’s a declarative sourdough ”recipe” generator: https://breadfriend.com

Wrote below as well, but seems relevant: https://whencanigetvitamind.com

You would be surprised how seldom you can get Vitamin D from the sun for many places! https://whencanigetvitamind.com

Turns out that "I can see the sun" is not good enough for deciding whether you're able to absorb Vitamin D. I had a deficiency (living in Nordics, not very surprising). So I built a small calculator that calculates during what periods you can absorb Vitamin D from the sun. Very fun to learn about calculating positions of the sun.

Thanks, appreciate it. Fixed!

Slightly related and maybe useful to someone: I built a "declarative" (sourdough) calculator which simplifies these calculations, or at least reverses the question so you just fill in what properties of the loaf you want. Link: https://breadfriend.com.

Hi HN!

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! :-)

Hi HN!

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!

Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't written a lot of Prolog, but I think most optimisation-based problems are suitable for modelling using Prolog. Scheduling, time tabling, allocation problems such as knapsack problem or bin packing, etc.

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.

It never occurred to me that daily/monthly could be useful, as weekly seemed like a sweet spot. I'll have a look at adding it! Thanks!

Hi!

This small project grew out of the fact that I'm notoriously bad at checking out my custom feeds ("multireddits"), but I have a couple that I'm honestly really interested in and that have really good content. A mail digest with the top posts every week solved it fairly nicely for me.

Let me know what you think! I'd really love to hear if you decide to use it or have any problems or feedback!

Worth mentioning about prosemirror is that it supports mobile devices fantastically, which I don't think can be said about _any_ of it competitors. Realised that far too late after investing in Draft.js, but migrated now to prosemirror and it truly works great.

It does not contain a lot of helper functions (by choice), which can make it a bit difficult to get up and running if you're doing something non-standard.

To help anyone who was as confused as I about this being the first polynomial time algorithm. To me, even the naïve primality test is a polynomial time algorithm over the target number. However, here the AKS primality test is a polynomial time algorithm over the number of digits in the target number, which of course is different!
