About Cheerful Solutions Explorer

Unofficial companion. This is an independent, volunteer-run site that augments discovery for readers of Reasons to Be Cheerful ↗. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by RTBC.

Our goal is to help people find related, replicable solutions faster—then click through to the original RTBC reporting.

Non-commercial & privacy-first

No ads. No tracking pixels. No logins. We store only lightweight, on-device preferences (e.g., recent clicks) using your browser’s storage.

 mdi-open-in-new

Link-out only

Every card features a prominent “Article” button that takes you to the original story on RTBC. Our short summaries are our own words and are meant to be transformative & navigational, not replacements.

Respect for editorial & licensing

We follow RTBC’s republishing guidance and Creative Commons norms, and we’re happy to adjust attribution language or remove items on request.

How we align with RTBC policies

mdi-format-quote-close Attribution-first Each project page links to the original RTBC article. Preferred format: Source: Reasons to Be Cheerful — “{Original Title}”. mdi-image-off Images & media We do not republish RTBC photos. If images ever appear, they are our own, open-licensed, or used with permission. We will swiftly remove anything that causes concern. mdi-scale-balance Creative Commons aware Many RTBC pieces are CC-licensed; some are not or include third-party media. We keep excerpts short, keep summaries original, and avoid derivative reuse where not permitted.

Technical notes

mdi-web Built for discovery Vue + Vuetify SPA that clusters related stories and suggests similar items to help readers explore. mdi-timer-sand Lightweight & considerate Requests are cached and rate-limited; we aim to minimize load on upstream sources. mdi-link-variant Slug-based linking We link by WordPress slugs for clarity. If RTBC changes a slug, we remap when possible; otherwise a link may 404 until updated.

Contact, requests & collaboration

Questions, corrections, or takedown/change requests? We’ll act promptly. If RTBC prefers specific credit language, taxonomy, or a different feed, we’re happy to implement it. We can also add UTM parameters so RTBC can measure referral traffic.
