I had the exact same frustrations. Bilingual user(German/English), and the keyboard situation with multiple languages is even worse than what you describe.
Your post actually inspired me to stop complaining and try to fix it myself. I built an iOS keyboard that uses AI to handle the parts Apple refuses to get right. You speak or type roughly what you want to say, pick a tone or language, and it outputs clean text. The translation + tone combo alone saved me from switching to Android.
It would be great if this were possible. I believed it could be done initially, but then I realized it depends on too many parameters: Flour, water, temperature, sourdough starter microbes, starter microbial activity level, desired consistency, baking times and a few others. One guy once tried to put together a table with different starter levels: https://www.wraithnj.com/breadpics/rise_time_table/bread_mod.... In practice it doesn't work though.
Agreed! Bread machines don't make sense. You can make a very simple dough in 1 minute of work. I recommend 500g whole rye or wheat, 400g water, 100g sourdough starter, 20g salt. Mix all with a spatula for 1 minute until no chunks of flour are left. Put into greased loaf pan. Wait until roughly doubled in size. Bake in the oven at 200°C until core temperature is 92°C.
Thanks for sharing - appreciated. I have been going on with baking for multiple years now and I find it really relaxing next to my engineering job. I have already opened up a PR with my latest findings. But I am still experimenting more until I am comfortable with sharing another full year of learnings.

It's called Cerebro, currently in TestFlight if anyone wants to try it: https://cerebro-keyboard.app
Not trying to plug my thing here, genuinely just wanted to say: your countdown resonated with a lot of us. Some of us just dealt with it differently.
