I write little tools to help me all the time. An example of this is “Headliner” (source code coming soon). Headliner is a small prototype web app that takes in an essay title or newspaper headline and gives it the right capitalization. To save space, newspapers only capitalize the first word in each sentence in the headline.

Essay titles capitalize every word except for prepositions and articles (a, an, the). Headliner knows these rules and applies them on the headlines that you enter into it.
