Fretted-instrument lutherie maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the fret positions a guitar, bass, mandolin or ukulele builder slots a fingerboard to. This is instrument-building geometry, not music theory. The positions endpoint lays out a whole fingerboard from the scale length using the twelve-tone equal-temperament rule: the distance from the nut to fret n = scale length × (1 − 1 ÷ 2^(n/12)), so the 12th fret lands at exactly half the scale (the octave) and each gap shrinks by the constant ratio 2^(1/12) ≈ 1.0595 toward the bridge — a 25.5-inch Fender scale puts fret 1 at 1.431 inches and fret 12 at 12.75. The fret endpoint gives one fret’s distance from the nut, from the previous fret and to the bridge; the scalelength endpoint runs it backwards, recovering the scale length from a measured distance to a known fret (measure to the 12th and double it). It works in inches or millimetres — 25.5 Fender, 24.75 Gibson, 25.4 classical, 34 bass. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for lutherie, guitar-building, instrument-design and maker app developers, fingerboard-slotting and fret-calculator tools, and CAD/CNC templates. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. For note names or frequencies use a music-theory API.

Paracord API
Paracord-craft maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the cord-length numbers a paracord crafter cuts a project to. The bracelet endpoint sizes the cord from the finished length and the weave using the well-known rule of thumb — about a foot of cord per inch of work for a cobra (Solomon) bar, double that for a king cobra, less for a fishtail — so an 8-inch cobra bracelet takes around 9 feet of cord including a foot of waste for the tails; give it a wrist measurement instead and it adds the fit ease and the buckle to get the finished length first, so a 7-inch wrist comes out near 10 feet. The weave endpoint generalises it to any project — lanyards, belts, dog leashes — as cord = finished length × cord-per-inch × the number of working strands, with the weave factors built in or your own cord-per-inch, and answers in inches, feet and metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for paracord, survival-gear, scouting, craft and maker app developers, project-estimator and cut-list tools, and DIY software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Rules of thumb — cut long and trim. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.

Chainmaille API
Chainmaille maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the aspect-ratio and ring numbers a maille artist weaves to. The aspect endpoint computes the all-important Aspect Ratio = inner diameter ÷ wire diameter, and solves for whichever of the three you are missing, then lists the weaves that ring will make: AR, not absolute size, decides everything — too low and the rings won’t close through each other, too high and the weave goes floppy, so a 6.4 mm ID on 1.6 mm wire is AR 4.0, good for European 4-in-1, Byzantine, box chain and more. The ring endpoint does the material maths: wire per ring ≈ π × (inner diameter + wire diameter) — the mean-diameter circumference — so those AR-4 rings take about 25 mm of wire each and weigh roughly 0.4 g in steel; pass a wire length to get how many rings it yields, or a ring count to get the total wire and weight, in any of nine metals from aluminium to silver. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for chainmaille, jewelry, cosplay-armour and maker app developers, ring-buying and project-estimator tools, and craft software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Dimensions in mm. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. For wire-gauge ↔ mm use a wire-gauge API.

Screen Printing API
Screen-printing maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the ink-usage and cost numbers an apparel printer or print shop quotes a job by. It all turns on “ink mileage”, the printed area a unit of ink covers — in² per pound, with plastisol commonly 12,000–18,000 depending on mesh and deposit. The ink endpoint sizes a run: ink = (print area × prints) ÷ mileage, so a 100 in² design printed 150 times at 15,000 in²/lb takes exactly one pound (454 g, about 3 g a print); pass the design as area or as width × height. The prints endpoint runs it in reverse — how many shirts a tub of ink will do: prints = (ink weight × mileage) ÷ print area, so a pound of plastisol covers 15,000 in², roughly 150 prints of that design before waste, and it takes pounds, kilograms or grams. The cost endpoint puts a price on it: ink pounds × price per pound gives the run’s ink cost and the per-print figure, usually just a few cents — ink only, before screens, garments and labour. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for screen-printing, apparel-decoration, print-shop and merch app developers, quoting and job-costing tools, and production-planning software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. Ink only; add screens, garments and labour for a full quote.

Leathercraft API
Leathercraft maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the weight, area and strap numbers a leatherworker, saddler or maker cuts a project by. The thickness endpoint handles the quirk that leather “weight” is really a thickness: one ounce equals one sixty-fourth of an inch, or 0.397 mm, so 8 oz leather is 3.18 mm — and it converts in either direction between ounces, millimetres and inches and suggests typical uses, from 2–3 oz linings and wallets up to 9 oz-plus belts and saddlery. The area endpoint converts hide area between the US square foot, the European square decimetre (1 ft² = 9.29 dm²) and square metres, and sizes a project: given the leather a project needs and a waste allowance — 25–40 % is normal because hides have irregular edges and flaws — it returns the usable area and how many hides to buy. The strap endpoint counts straps cut from a rectangular piece (count = ⌊width ÷ strap width⌋, each as long as the piece) or the continuous lace length a spiral cut yields from an area (length = area ÷ width). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for leatherwork, saddlery, crafting, bag-making and maker app developers, project-estimator and material-cost tools, and workshop software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.
