#12Moving my home automation notifications (mix of DIY and Home Assistant) from Twilio SMS to Signal using signal-cli Docker image. I might even get confident enough in this solution to allow commands to be sent (e.g. lock front door).
I really like using Pushover[0] for this stuff. The app on iOS is really great, including ability to include images and custom icons in the (native) push notifications, custom sounds, punching through silent mode for emergency alerts and even custom actions I believe (haven’t used the latter).
I’ve toyed with doing something with Signal but the Pushover route has always felt a bit better suited for my use case.
The custom icons are particularly handy as I get push notifications from all sorts of systems (from home automation to GitHub Actions) and it’s really easy to see at a glance where the notification is coming from.
Good luck with your project!

I'm adding line wrapping support for format mode. Managing SQLite db of poetry to test it's been fun.

#14At least part of what I'll be doing is migrating a bunch of infrastructure from Linode to OVH. Depending on how that goes, I may spend some time on other stuff. One thing I am hoping to find some time to work on is a tool for helping me manage my huge collection of e-books. The basic idea is a sort of combination file-indexer / search engine, and a note-taking app. But with some very specific functionality designed a…
I’ve never used Linode or OVH (I’m mainly using DigitalOcean) - interested to hear why you’re moving from Linode and why you chose OVH?

#17An update server for all my tools. I'll probably end up having a CI server build the applications for me and upload the artefacts to my server.
You may ask, why not just check for the latest build artefacts in the tools themselves? Some of the tools are private, so ensuring access to the respective repositories can be a bit of a pain, especially if the application is shared with someone.

#20An app with a recommender system for Jokes. Swipe up means funny, swipe down means not funny. Then you see the next recommended joke.
You should let people make profiles, these profiles can accumulate points. Make a leader board. People submit their own jokes, most upvoted go on the leaderboard. And find a way to monetize without selling their data pls
