rzen 3c6f54add3 content: 2026-05-30 capture run — 54 finds across 18 productive sources
Ten-day gap since the 2026-05-20 sweep. Pool grows from 414 → 468 finds.

Terpstra, Eclectic Light, Show HN (5), Wallpaper* Travel (5), AFAR (2),
Boutique Homes, Cool Tools (2), Kottke.org (4), Open Culture (5),

Major blocker: Reddit JSON endpoint is hard-blocked this run — all four
r/* sources returned identical 189908-byte HTML payloads regardless of
UA or URL pattern. Lost ~15-25 finds. Next-pass action: OAuth Reddit
API.

Other blockers: TidBITS 403, Web Curios ECONNREFUSED with no recent
issue URL resolvable, Things Magazine still on May 15 post (monthly-ish
cadence confirmed), Atlas Obscura serving evergreen 2017-era content,
A Continuous Lean dormant 9 runs.

description: "Browser tool that adds furigana (kana pronunciation guides) above kanji in any Japanese text — context-aware via Sudachi and ModernBERT, so 上 reads correctly as 'うえ' or 'じょう' for the sentence."
---
Furigana — the small kana written above kanji to indicate pronunciation — is what Japanese readers stop needing as they advance but every learner relies on. Existing tools annotate naively; EzFurigana uses Sudachi tokenization plus a ModernBERT context model so the right reading is picked. Paste any text in, get a properly annotated version out. Free.
