1. I use it to caption images for blog posts (e.g. the images in https://simulavr.com/blog/technical-overview/)

2. I use it for easy image hosting that I can control in the Wolfram command line (vs. imgur, etc).

3. I use it to upload lengthy text files (e.g. error outputs when programming) over things like pastebin.

4. Until very recently, I used it to manage our site's email waitlist (setting up an email submission form was 1 Wolfram function).

5. I use it to visualize personal data (productivity stuff, timelog data, etc).

6. I use it to run mathematical computations when reading technical materials. Wolfram can do things like "show how this integral is derived in a human-readable way", which makes it easier to understand steps glossed over in math proofs.

7. I use it to collage images together when sharing them with other people (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ImageCollage.html).

8. I use it to make timelines when making back-of-the-napkin Gantt charts (e.g. https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/george.w.singer/business/pn...), or histories (e.g. https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/george.w.singer/business/pn...)

Hope this is helpful =)



Was very enlightening, thank you!!
