Former software engineer ships open-source Python tool for psyllium husk buyers

A software engineer who left the industry to run RM Psyllium, a husk mill in Sidhpur, Gujarat, noticed buyers repeatedly asking the same questions about grades, mesh sizes, and certificates of analysis. He responded by releasing psyllium, a small zero-dependency Python package on PyPI under the MIT licence. The package offers commands covering purity grades, a per-lot checklist for suppliers, quote requirements, and relevant certifications. He argues that practical buying knowledge for psyllium, used in supplements, gluten-free baking, and pharmaceuticals, is poorly documented and mostly held in emails and traders' heads. He plans to add a landed-cost calculator and a certificate-of-analysis parser that flags out-of-spec values, and is inviting contributions from food tech, supplement, and procurement developers.
