Editorial Team

Every tool and guide on UtilDaily is researched, built and reviewed by the same small team. We are developers and writers — not freelance content mills — and we care about getting the math right.

Who writes UtilDaily?

UtilDaily is written and maintained by the UtilDaily Team — a small group of developers and writers based at 22Lab. Every guide is researched against primary sources (NIST, IRS, MDN, the W3C, peer-reviewed studies) and reviewed by at least two team members before publication.

What is the UtilDaily Team?

We publish under a single byline — “UtilDaily Team” — because every article is a collaboration. The same engineers who write the JavaScript that runs in your browser also write the calculator's explainer post. The same person who built the income-tax calculator is the one citing the IRS publications behind every bracket. That keeps the math, the formulas, and the “why” consistent across the site.

We do not accept guest posts, sponsored content, or freelance submissions. Every word on UtilDaily is written or substantially edited in-house.

How do we research and write each guide?

  1. 1.
    Pick a real question. We start from the questions our tools' users actually ask in support email or in Search Console — never invented topics.
  2. 2.
    Pull primary sources. For technical posts: RFCs, MDN, NIST, the W3C. For finance: IRS publications, official BLS data. For health: NIH, peer-reviewed journals. We do not paraphrase secondary blogs.
  3. 3.
    Verify with the tool. Every formula and example in a guide is run through the actual calculator on the site. If the answer disagrees with the source, we fix the calculator, the guide, or both.
  4. 4.
    Two-person review. One team member writes, another reviews. Both sign off before the post goes live.
  5. 5.
    Date and update. Every article has a clearly visible publish and last-update date. When tax brackets, rates, or formulas change, we revise the affected guides and bump dateModified.

What topics do we cover?

UtilDaily is intentionally a generalist site — we publish across five subject areas where the team has hands-on experience:

  • Personal finance — tax, loans, investing, retirement, budgeting. Sources: IRS, BLS, FRED.
  • Web development — JSON, encoding, hashing, regex, browser APIs. Sources: MDN, W3C, IETF RFCs.
  • Unit conversion — length, weight, volume, temperature, speed. Sources: NIST Handbook 44, BIPM.
  • Health & fitness — BMI, calories, heart-rate zones, sleep cycles. Sources: NIH, peer-reviewed journals, ACSM guidelines.
  • Productivity — time tracking, project pacing, password and naming workflows. Sources: ISO standards and our own tools' telemetry.

How do you correct mistakes?

We are wrong sometimes — formulas evolve, tax brackets change, we miss edge cases. If you spot an error, email hi@utildaily.com with the URL and what looks off. Material corrections are noted at the bottom of the article and the dateModified timestamp is bumped so caches and crawlers pick up the change.

We do not silently rewrite history. If a finance guide cited the wrong tax bracket, the corrected article will say so explicitly.

How is UtilDaily funded?

UtilDaily is supported by Google AdSense. Ad placements are clearly separated from tool interfaces and never inserted between steps of a calculator. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored articles, affiliate-driven recommendations, or money in exchange for editorial mentions.

When a guide recommends a third-party resource, the link is unaffiliated and chosen for the reader's benefit only.
