Knife Sharpening API

healthy 3,532 Subscribers

Knife-sharpening maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the bevel and angle numbers a sharpener, cook or knifemaker sets a stone to. It uses the symmetric V-edge model: the bevel endpoint takes the blade thickness and a per-side (or inclusive) angle and returns the bevel face width = (thickness ÷ 2) ÷ sin(per-side angle), with the inclusive angle as twice the per-side — so a 2 mm blade ground at 15° per side has a 3.86 mm bevel and a 30° edge, and at a 40° inclusive (20° per side) a 2.92 mm bevel. The angle endpoint runs it in reverse for the marker (Sharpie) method: colour the edge, take one stroke, measure the shiny bevel, and per-side angle = asin((thickness ÷ 2) ÷ bevel width) tells you the angle you are actually holding. The recommend endpoint gives sensible inclusive-angle ranges by use — about 12–17° for razors, 20–30° for Japanese kitchen knives, 30–40° for Western chef’s and EDC, 40–50° for outdoor and hard use, 45–65° for axes — and converts any chosen inclusive angle to per-side and back. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for knife, kitchen, EDC, bushcraft, woodworking and sharpening app developers, sharpening-jig and edge-geometry tools, and maker software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Symmetric V-edge model, mm and degrees. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.

Baking Pan Scaler API

Baking-pan maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the area and scale-factor numbers a baker resizes a recipe between pans with. The trick everyone gets wrong is that a recipe scales by the pan’s AREA, not its diameter, so a 10-inch round holds far more batter than a 9-inch. The area endpoint gives the surface area of any pan — round and springform as π/4·d², square as s², rectangle as length × width, and bundt or tube pans as the ring (the outer circle minus the centre hole) — so a 9-inch round is 63.6 in², an 8-inch square 64 and a 9×13 is 117; add a depth and it returns the volume in cubic inches and cups. The convert endpoint gives the scale factor to move a recipe from one pan to another, factor = target area ÷ source area: a 9-inch round to a 9×13 is ×1.84, and two 8-inch rounds really do equal one 9×13. Pass an ingredient amount and it scales it for you, with a note to keep the batter depth similar and adjust the bake time. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for baking, recipe, meal-prep and kitchen app developers, recipe-scaling and substitution tools, and culinary software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Inches. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. For ingredient unit conversion use a cooking API.

Grain Bin API

Grain-bin storage maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the bushel and weight numbers a farmer or elevator sizes storage by. The bushels endpoint measures a round bin: floor area × grain depth gives the cubic feet, and a cubic foot holds about 0.8036 bushels, so an 18-foot bin filled 20 feet level holds roughly 4,090 bushels — and grain heaped to a peak adds a cone of (1/3) × floor area × peak height, so a 4-foot peak adds about 270 more. The weight endpoint converts bushels to weight by the crop’s standard test weight — corn and sorghum at 56 pounds a bushel, wheat and soybeans 60, oats 32, barley 48 — so those 4,090 bushels of corn weigh 229,040 pounds, about 114.5 US tons or 104 tonnes; pass a measured test weight for light or heavy grain. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for agriculture, grain-elevator, farm-management and ag-tech app developers, storage-capacity and inventory tools, and harvest software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. US units (feet, bushels, pounds). Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.

ADA Ramp API

ADA wheelchair-ramp maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the run, landing and slope numbers a builder or accessibility planner sizes a ramp by. The rule the ADA fixes is 1 inch of rise per 12 of run, a maximum 8.33 % slope, so the ramp endpoint turns a rise into the ramp: run = rise × 12 (or × 16 / × 20 for a gentler grade if you have the room), plus the level landings the code requires — a 5-foot landing top and bottom and another between runs whenever the rise exceeds 30 inches — and the total length end to end, so a 24-inch rise needs a 24-foot run and 34 feet overall, while a 36-inch rise breaks into two runs with an intermediate landing for 51 feet. The fit endpoint answers the real-world question: does a ramp for this rise fit the run you have? It returns the minimum run an ADA 1:12 ramp needs, whether your space is enough, and the slope you would actually get if you forced it in — flagging when that exceeds 8.33 % and you need a switchback or a lower rise. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, accessibility, home-modification and contractor app developers, ramp-estimator and code-check tools, and building software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Confirm against current ADA and local code. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.

Farkle Score API

Farkle dice-scoring maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the points a Farkle (Zilch, Ten Thousand) scoring app tallies a roll by. The score endpoint takes up to six dice and returns the value by the common ruleset: a single 1 is 100 and a single 5 is 50; three of a kind scores the face times 100 (three 1s being the exception at 1000); four, five and six of a kind are 1000, 2000 and 3000; a 1-to-6 straight or three pairs is 1500; and two triplets is 2500 — so 1-1-1-5-5-5 scores 2500 as two triplets rather than 1100, a 1-2-3-4-5-6 straight is 1500, and 6-6-6-2-3 is 600 with the 2 and 3 dead. It flags a farkle when nothing scores (you lose the turn’s points) and tells you whether every die counted — a hot dice that lets you roll all six again. Rulesets vary, so it scores the widely-used set and says so. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for dice-game, party-game and scoring app developers, score-helper and game-night tools, and board-game-companion software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Scores a roll; it does not roll the dice. Live, nothing stored. 1 compute endpoint.
