Whetstone: Adaptive Practice for your markdown notes

https://preview.redd.it/tpok1lyujxeh1.png?width=2748&format=png&auto=webp&s=39378e60ed51c84831af08d606163cc077fb20a0

Whetstone turns the Markdown notes you already write into challenging practice questions — not trivia recall, but questions built around the analytical moves that make a topic genuinely click.

Point it at any folder of Markdown notes (an Obsidian vault works perfectly) and start practicing.

  • Adaptive difficulty — questions sharpen as your skill grows, per topic
  • Daily practice — one click, topics picked for you by what's due
  • Multiple question types — multiple choice, select-all, numeric
  • Beautiful reading experience — LaTeX math, code blocks, adjustable typography
  • Streaks, accuracy, and an activity graph to keep you honest
  • Local-first — your notes and progress stay on your Mac
  • Bring your own Anthropic/Gemini/OpenAI API key for question generation. Alternatively, use your Codex or Claude code subscription (recommended).

Whetstone is for students, self-learners, and anyone who takes notes and wants them to stick.

Coming Soon: Adaptive Practice

Uses LLMs to generate questions based on your notes, with adaptive difficulty. The difficulty of questions from a topic will increase over time if you do well in that topic.

I will add it to the community section in a few days.

WARNING: It is completely vibe-coded. I didn't have the time to build this, but I needed something like this.

Would you be interested in using something like this? Beautiful Lyrics

I know many people hate the idea of shoving everything inside Obsidian, and even I do, but I felt I should try building this plugin once. It's not as good or as energy-efficient as Apple Music's lyrics view, so you can help me make this better if you like the concept.

Check it out at https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/beautiful-lyrics

The visual style and animation approach in this plugin are inspired by Beautiful Lyrics by surfbryce, a Spicetify extension that brings synced lyrics to the Spotify desktop client.

I love this setup 🥰 Feels like I brought together the strengths of html and markdown together in a single app

I use Safari as my browser. I have work and personal gmail accounts; they exist in different profiles. Is there a way for gmail.com to open in Personal profile in one quicklink and in Work profile in other quicklink?

I tried searching for Safari URL schemes, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
