Gematria Calculator: Decode Words with My Open-Source Tool! 🧠🚀

Hey, brainiacs! 🧠 Today, I’m thrilled to share something I’ve been tinkering with: a Gematria Calculator I built from scratch. It’s hosted on GitHub at jasonbra1n/Gematria-Calculator, and you can play with it right here via an iframe. Let’s dive into what Gematria is, how this tool works, and a wild discovery I made with “Wayne Gretzky”! 🏒

What’s Gematria? 🤔

Gematria is an ancient numerology practice that assigns numbers to letters, turning words into secret codes. Rooted in Hebrew and Greek traditions, it’s now trending big-time online—people are decoding everything from names to conspiracy theories! 🌐 I got hooked and decided to create my own calculator—open-source, embeddable, and free for anyone to use or improve. No paywalls, just pure fun! 🙌

Try It Out! 🚀

Here’s the calculator in action—check it out standalone here!

How to Use It

1. Enter a Word or Phrase ✍️
   Pop in anything—“JasonBrain,” your dog’s name, whatever! Spaces get stripped out (e.g., “Wayne Gretzky” → “WayneGretzky”).

2. Pick Your Gematria Systems ⚙️
   Hit “Select Gematria Systems” to choose from 26 cyphers. A few faves:

   • Ordinal: A=1, B=2, …, Z=26
   • Reduction: Shrinks letters to 1-9
   • Sumerian: Multiplies by 6 (A=6, B=12, …)
   • Primes: Uses prime numbers (A=2, B=3, …)
     And more! Click “Select All” to go nuts. 🤪

3. Display Reduced Values ✅
   Check this box in the overlay to see totals reduced to single digits (e.g., 123 → 1+2+3 = 6). It’s numerology’s finishing touch!

4. Calculate! 🖩
   Hit “Save & Calculate,” and watch the results roll in—each system gets its own box with the total (and reduced value if checked).

The “Wayne Gretzky” Wow Factor! 🏒🔥

Here’s the kicker: I typed “Wayne Gretzky” with all cyphers on and “Display Reduced Values” checked. Mind blown! Almost every system reduced to 9—his jersey number was 99! (Fun fact: He wanted 9 for Gordie Howe but took 99 with the Greyhounds.) Check these out:

• Standard: 441 → 4+4+1 = 9
• Sumerian: 738 → 7+3+8 = 18 → 1+8 = 9
• Primes: 297 → 2+9+7 = 18 → 1+8 = 9

A few (like Ordinal = 6) broke the pattern, but the 9s dominated! Try it above—or here standalone—select all systems, type “Wayne Gretzky,” and see the magic. Is it fate? Hockey numerology? You decide! 😎

Why I Built This 🌍

Gematria’s popping off online, but I wanted my own tool—something I could embed on JasonBrain.com and share freely. It’s MIT-licensed on GitHub, so fork it at jasonbra1n/Gematria-Calculator and make it yours! Whether you’re decoding names, spotting patterns, or just goofing around, this is for you. Let’s geek out together! 💻

Year Progress Calculator: Now Open Source on GitHub! 🎉

Hey, everyone! 🚀 I’m thrilled to announce that my Year Progress Calculator is now officially open source and living on GitHub! As of today, March 10, 2025, I’ve moved the project from my self-hosted setup to its own repository, where anyone can check out the code, use it, or even contribute. Find it here: jasonbra1n/year-progress-calculator. Let’s dive into what this tool is all about and how you can play with it! 🧠

What’s the Year Progress Calculator? 📅

This fun little tool helps you track how far we are into the year. It’s interactive, visual, and super easy to use. Here’s the rundown:

• Pick any date (month and day). ✍️
• See the progress: Find out what percentage of the year has passed (e.g., today, March 10, is about 18.9% of a 365-day year). 📊
• Visualize it: Watch it come to life in a pie chart, with the year as a 360-degree circle. 🥧
• Leap year mode: Toggle for those rare 366-day years. 🌟

I originally built this as a fun side project for my personal lab, and now it’s open source, so everyone can join the party! 🎈

Introducing My Date Difference Calculator 📅

I’ve been working on a small but handy tool recently: a Date Difference Calculator 📅. It’s a simple web-based utility that calculates the number of days between two dates, with an option to include the end date in the count. I built it using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I’m excited to share it with you! 🚀🌟

You can try it out live here: Date Difference Calculator 🌐. The source code is available on GitHub: jasonbra1n/date-calculator 🐙🔗. Below, I’ve embedded it directly into this post so you can test it right here! 👇

Try It Out 🎮

Here’s the calculator in action:

Pick a start date 📆, an end date 📆, and check the "Include End Date" box ✅ if you want that extra day counted. Hit "Calculate" to see the result! 🖱️

What It Does ℹ️

The Date Difference Calculator is straightforward:

• Pick a Start Date and an End Date using the built-in date pickers 📅.
• Check the "Include End Date" box ✅ if you want the end date counted as an extra day.
• Hit the "Calculate" button ▶️, and it’ll tell you the number of days between the two dates.

For example, if you select March 1st to March 5th:

• Without including the end date, it returns 4 days 📉.
• With the end date included, it returns 5 days 📈.

It’s a clean, no-frills tool that I’ve found useful for quick date math—whether for project planning 📋, tracking deadlines ⏰, or just satisfying curiosity 🤓.

What’s New ✨

I’ve improved the calculator to be more flexible:

• Responsive Design 📱: It scales to 90% of its container’s width (up to 400px), so it fits iframes without horizontal scrollbars.
• Height Adjustment 📏: The layout adapts to its content, reducing vertical scrollbars unless necessary.
• Mobile-Friendly 📲: Smaller screens get adjusted padding and font sizes.

How It Works 🔧

The calculator is a single HTML file with embedded CSS and JavaScript. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• HTML 📝: A simple form with two date inputs, a checkbox, a button, and a result div.
• CSS 🎨: A styled container with a light background, subtle shadows, and responsive inputs. It’s designed to look polished but not overdone.
• JavaScript ⚙️: The core logic grabs the dates, calculates the time difference in milliseconds, converts it to days, and adjusts based on the "Include End Date" option. It also handles invalid inputs gracefully.

Here’s a snippet of the JavaScript that does the heavy lifting:

function calculateDifference() {
    const startDate = new Date(document.getElementById('startDate').value);
    const endDate = new Date(document.getElementById('endDate').value);
    const includeEndDate = document.getElementById('includeEndDate').checked;

    if (isNaN(startDate) || isNaN(endDate)) {
        document.getElementById('result').innerText = "Please enter valid dates.";
        return;
    }

    const diffInTime = endDate - startDate;
    const diffInDays = Math.ceil(diffInTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
    const result = includeEndDate ? diffInDays + 1 : diffInDays;

    document.getElementById('result').innerText = `The difference is ${result} day(s).`;
}

Excited to share this tool with you! Try it out, explore the code, and let me know what you think! 🎉

Introducing My Basic Calculator Script 🧮

As part of my journey in learning AI, coding, and embedding scripts into web pages, I created a simple calculator script. I wanted a reliable way to showcase this interactive tool, and Blogger provides a great platform to share it with others! 😊

Below is an embedded version of the script:

You can find the public repository for the code here on GitHub 📂.

By hosting the script on GitHub and embedding it here, I can update and refine it while keeping the integration seamless. This approach makes it easy to share and experiment with interactive elements across different platforms. 🌐

Stay tuned for more experiments as I continue to explore AI and web development! 🚀
