This started as a fun JS experiment for myself, exploring how seed phrases are built from entropy. After positive feedback from friends, I turned it into a full guide to wallet recovery phrases - covering entropy, checksums, SHA-256, and how it connects to HD wallets (in a hopefully accessible way).
It’s fully interactive - flip bits, see your mnemonic change. I hope it offers an intuitive way to understand what’s going on under the hood.
Feedback and suggestions very welcome.

Good stuff! I also liked the other article on your blog about an easy way for a website to receive Lightning payments.
For my service Bitcoin Is Data, I used BTCPay Server, and it was a pain to set it up correctly. If your solution had been available at the time, I would have chosen yours!

Recovery phrases are hard to memorize without taking screenshots.

Very cool! I like how you can play around with it.
Will flipping the dice ever create an invalid checksum? I've tried this in wallet software just to enter random words. The last word is limited to get a valid check sum. I Still haven't really understood how the last word can't just be any from the list.
