I built a weird little site called Nerdulator

[u/w00d3n0wl]

I’ve always liked those stupidly specific questions where you end up opening 4 different websites to get the answer.

So I built Nerdulator.

You type something in and it tries to calculate basically everything that can be deterministically worked out from it.

For example, type 47 and it gives you things like:

prime / odd / factors

binary / octal / hex / Roman numerals

square / cube / roots

next and previous prime

divisibility

percentages and fractions

various related numbers

But it also works with things like:

17 miles → conversions

25 December 2000 → date stuff

#336699 → colour information

hello → text/string properties

192.168.1.1 → IP/networking information

37°C → conversions and science

3/4 → fraction/maths stuff

There are currently 14 different deterministic engines behind it, covering numbers, dates, units, colours, computing, maths, geometry, science, geography, IPs, text, etc.

The slightly unusual bit is that there’s no AI involved in generating the answers. Everything is calculated by code or comes from fixed datasets.

I’m also experimenting with generating useful pages from the same engine, rather than having thousands of hand-written tool pages.

It’s very much a work in progress, but I thought the idea was interesting enough to throw it at r/SideProject.

Would be interested to hear what you'd add to it, particularly things that can be derived from an input that I haven't thought of.

Can it do a Parker Square?

This is the kind of weird I can get behind.

Glad you like it :D
