Other Projects That Could Depend On This

do the problems online/on computer
a website to serve these up and let people use them for free
- a web API that serves it, so people can do that programmatically
- a snail mail service?
  - https://developers.lulu.com/price-calculator
- if there's going to be exercises in the browser,
  - parseInt('0101', 2)
- maybe re-implement in Javascript so all computation and rendering is done on the client
  - PDF rendering in the browser
