This is super cool and helpful as a resource but I really don't think people without a chemistry background should be doing anything more than following precise instructions, hopefully with some form of verification test at the end. The idea to have people without a chemistry background use a forked version of askcos and just run with it is a little scary.
The affordable Controlled Lab Reactor for diy is fantastic for helping people follow precise instructions to the letter just all of those instructions should be meticulously vetted by actual chemists and have some safeguard tests at the end where necessary. It seems the founder wants that vision too at the end of the conference just there's not enough of a community yet to support it.
Might be safer for HRT, than having to trust a 3rd party to buy it from if you live in a place that can't get it thru insurance or Dr.
