#3I have very many tools just for myself on all platforms I work on/with. I tend to automate whatever I do (or anticipate to do) more than once. I started doing this in the 80s.

#4Yes, quite a lot (but eventually shared with other people); examples:
- https://github.com/rochus-keller/CrossLine
- https://github.com/rochus-keller/FlowLine2
- https://github.com/rochus-keller/WorkTree
- https://github.com/DoorScope
The first one I'm still using every day and there are several hundered downloads each month.

#6Not exactly coding but I have been nerding out of Alfred workflows. With the ability to open browsers tabs based on url patterns and fire JavaScript or click the mouse on x,y coordinates I am saving a lot of time of repetitive actions. I’m not sure how I lived without Alfred for so long.

Got any code examples you can share? I’ve been using Alfred as a glorified app launcher forever (with a few ither integrations) but never did anything too fancy with it.

#10One of my unfinished side project is a physical time tracking. Nothing fancy, just few color buttons, an ESP32, an MQTT server and a unfinished frontend.
Just need to find the time to finish it and release open source.
