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.
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!
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?
This might be something I'm looking for. I've pretty much stopped logging into reddit since the API changes earlier this year. However, there's a couple specific subreddits I'd like to keep up to date on (my local city, some games I play, etc). Can I use your newsletter to specify specific subreddits to create a newsletter for?
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!
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.
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.
In the first sentence on the start page, there's an unnecessary apostrophe in the word "recipes". It's a plural form, not a possessive. Not everyone will agree or care, but this kind of thing can have an unfortunate effect when people come to the page for the first time and form an opinion about it.
