There are other services that do this better but I just wanted something clean that didn't have a cramped UI, and wasn't a paid service.

#115I hate blogging using markdown/wordpress so I built myself a blogging platform which lets me post via gmail. I've [Show HN]-ed it a few times now that I decided to productize it but it didn't get too many eyeballs.

#116A tool for visualizing ping latency as a heatmap [2]. My Macbook's wifi had developed a severe latency stutter every ~500ms that was driving me nuts when using interactive tools like SSH. It was very satisfying to visualize it and see the pattern, and it helped to narrow the list of possible causes.

#117So I put together a frontend [1] to search a scanned version I found of it. It has now evolved in to an offline PWA, which you can search from Arabic to English and English to Arabic, convert numbers in both classical or modern Arabic form, stem words etc. When searching in Arabic it removes affixes, prefixes, suffixes and also uses multiple stemming algorithms to obtain the root if an exact match is not found.
It's pretty neat and makes reading so much easier no matter what device I'm on. It's also used by other professors, teachers, students and friends who are also in the classical Arabic field.

#118I created this tool for fun to experiment with my raspberry pi Its a tool that allows you to run server commands via text messages https://github.com/mtdevss/server-text Its a fun program to play around with
I created a similar tool, it works over telegram, but the code is old and bad... you can see an example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZiuGb-x3RQ

#119I have a variable loader that I can use in scripts/programs so that I don't have to hardcode filepaths and so I can change settings quickly. Variables can refer to other variables, even in parts of them. I can quickly insert references to those variables into scripts/programs with a shortcut key.
There is a note taker: a shortcut key immediately opens a blank file (which is named the date + time + a short unique ID to avoid any clashes).
There is also a note reviewer: It shows the next note to refine. I can postpone any that are uninteresting yet incomplete for whatever duration, and archive any which are complete and can show up as relevant matches elsewhere in my system. This stage allows me to deal with bits and pieces at a time, and review things I'm still working on. It avoids hierarchical constraints on purpose, and it breaks things down into tags instead.
I have a sort of data representation in which I can note how things/concepts are linked, and also express doubt, references, references to references and so on, to allow expressive representations of thoughts including incompleteness or ambiguity.
I have a music player that devalues a track every time it is not played in its entirety. The faster it gets skipped the more it gets devalued (and there are meta keys to add more weight). If a track's rank doesn't meet a random threshold then it gets skipped. It basically stops the listener getting too used to a track even though they may like it.

#120I wanted a way to keep track of my expenses so I built a mobile app in Flutter to do just that. App data is stored on device, no cloud, no tracking, no third parties, and I use SQLite files for storage and export. I made it available for free: - for Android ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.lansator.ba... ) - iOS ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/banii-mei/id1436417739 ) Great experience learning Flutt…
Looking at the Android app in the play store and it says it's not available in my country (Germany).
I hadn't published it for Germany, so I did it now, should be available.
