Notes

It fills whatever width you give it, down to phone screens.
It follows your reader's light or dark mode automatically.
It does not track your visitors. No cookies, no analytics and no outside files.
A height of 3300 suits columns wider than about 650 pixels, with the optional groups open. On narrower columns, or if your site uses larger text, use about 4000.
The credit line under the widget is optional. Keep it, delete it, or add rel="nofollow" to its link. The widget works the same either way.

Terms: there aren't many. Use it on any site, including commercial ones, at no cost. We may improve the calculator over time, so the embedded version can change. If it ever needs to be retired, this page will say so first.
