What it does

MicroPlastics helps you scan food and beverages to estimate microplastics exposure based on packaging material, wear, and usage context like heat or reuse. Every score is backed by peer-reviewed research and includes citations, so users get more than a vague “healthy” label. Track exposure over time, compare products, and make better everyday choices. In partnership with PlasticOrg Group in Bay Area and associated research.

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
