**Yakshaves** -- my space of collecting ideas for tinkering in various stages. **You free to steal these ideas**. Just drop me a line if you do end up implementing them 😇.

Inspired by [yakshav.es](https://yakshav.es) which I made a note of in [2017](https://www.btbytes.com/log/2017.html#tuesday-14-november-2017) - for the name, and [yak collective](https://www.yakcollective.org) for the _idea_ of tinkering.

If you want to collaborate on any of these ideas, please reach out to me on [twitter](https://x.com/btbytes) or [email](https://www.btbytes.com/about).

## Ideas

1. 2023-09-14. [kindergarten](https://github.com/btbytes/kindergarten) - fork of "A high-frequency word assessment for kindergarteners and their parents" . I want to make a Kannada version of this website.
2. 2023-10-01. Freely available Text To Speech trained model for Kannada on the lines of [Thorsten Voice](https://github.com/thorstenMueller/Thorsten-Voice/).
	- See [nanna dhani](https://github.com/btbytes/nannadhani)
	- 2023-10-09 see <https://tts.bhashini.ai>
3. 2023-10-09. "Most popular 5000 words Kannada dictionary".
	- How do we decide what are the most popular 5000 words?
4. 2023-10-11 A general "blog-to-book" software that is known to work for the famous blogging platforms like blogger, movabletype and wordpress. The idea is to make books out of long-running ( ran? )blogs into ebooks and maybe even printable books. some candidates are livingfrugal (thousands of blogposts; a stress tester), "the last psychiatrist" (discontinued since '14), and [Dr Elisa Freschi](https://elisafreschi.com)'s blog etc
5. 2023-10-11 "Email to blog". There is used to be a service like that was funded by YC. I wonder what happened to it.
6. 2023-10-12 More workflows around using [bbedit](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/bbedit) as text automation... or maybe even [boop](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/boop)
7. 2023-11-13 my own custom scripts to implement the idea behind [mdn note](https://github.com/KnorrFG/markdown_note). Maybe something like [raku](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/raku)
8. <a href="#wlog-2024-02-27"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2024-02-27">2024-02-27</date></a> **OPML Servcie** -- an online application that allows cleaning up, and publishing `.opml` files as HTML. Optionally provide a decent enough XSL file that renders the OPML file well. Also an editor that reformats the OPML file and allows quick editing of entries into categories, add missing attributes etc.
9. <a href="#wlog-2024-03-31"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2024-03-31">2024-03-31</date></a> [Publishing Apple Notes as a Website](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/publishing-apple-notes-as-a-website)
10. <a href="#wlog-2024-07-25-22-59"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2024-07-25-22-59">2024-07-25 22:59</date></a> [Sustainable Forum Software](https://www.btbytes.com/posts/sustainable-forum-software)
11. <a href="#wlog-2024-07-26"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2024-07-26">2024-07-26</date></a> Recreate [the stream](https://stream.thesephist.com/) using [redbean](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/redbean)
12. <a href="#wlog-2025-07-23"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2025-07-23">2025-07-23</date></a> **Redirect and Capture (RadCap)**.  Lets say you have moved docsuments from one site to another, and this will break URLs. in order to setup correct redirects, you can of course use the server, but you might miss some not covered in the rules. So, we have RadCap. Radcap will have one [sqlite](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/sqlite) table that has - `redirect` - `(source, destination)` columns. It will do a HTTP redirect when a request matches `source`. However, you are also interested in capturing what links are broken "out there". So, you write the URL to a different table - `capture` - `(source, count, first_seen, last_seen)`. We will strip out URL parameters before saving the `source`, column. If we have already seen that URL, we increment the count.
13. <a href="#wlog-2025-07-24"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2025-07-24">2025-07-24</date></a> A bookmarking website like [pinboard](https://pinboard.in/) that works like [streams-place](https://www.btbytes.com/posts/streams-place) by using Telegram as the interface.
14. <a href="#wlog-2025-08-10"><date class="wlogdate" id="wlog-2025-08-10">2025-08-10</date></a>point local LLM at the markdown files powering this site, and ask it to find closest documents related to a search term. (e.g: "extract structured information from unstructured text"). I think there exists a [obsidian](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/obsidian) plugin that does soemthing similar, but I found it very intrusive and disabled it.
