The Knitting Protocol
From Knitter to Designer
What it does
Protocol is a free, purpose built knitting pattern writing tool with a custom paginated document editor built from scratch, a live gauge recalculation engine that updates every stitch count in your pattern instantly, and a stitch chart generator that writes row-by-row instructions automatically as you draw.

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.
