#122http://www.averageweather.io/ - tool to make planning for travel much easier. When you are too far out for a forecast, I found myself taking too many clicks to get average weather data. EDIT - Whoa. Getting lots of traffic. This site is like 3 days old and I taught myself python and django to build it. Open to any recommendations at jonathan at averageweather dot io EDIT 2 - Back up... Site crash ... Google apps shut…
Nice website!
Some urls are weird though. You have a trailing / somewhere I guess.

#123I'm most proud of React Flip Move ( https://github.com/joshwcomeau/react-flip-move ), an animation library that does exactly one thing: animate transitions when DOM nodes change positions (eg. list re-ordering). I wind up using it in almost every project I work on, since just about every app has a list of some kind, and many lists need to support being sorted, having items added, etc. It's a simple tool, but the inte…
Great job! this is a harder problem to solve than most people would imagine.

Thanks ... I've been seeing those on google analytics ...

#125The most useful one is an invoice generator that looks at a bunch of Markdown files of work I've done for clients (I'm a freelance writer) and generates an invoice from them.
It can either generate an HTML report with various stats and graphs or create a draft invoice in Freshbooks for sending to the client. It used to take me a couple of hours a week to invoice, and now it basically takes no time at all.
I can't really share it because it's got some hardcoded client details, but I'm considering generalizing it into a txt2invoice utility other people can use. It's also massively over engineered because I used it as a learning project for Elixir. Every time I learned how to something new I tried it out on this tool, which means it spins up lots of processes it doesn't need and does fancy stuff with messaging, genservers and supervision trees which are entirely unnecessary, but that's part of the fun.

#126http://hellojarvis.io/ is a Messenger bot that reminds you to do stuff. You can phrase time in many ways, which was quite tricky to do: "in 3 hours", "on the 25th", "tomorrow night", "next wednesday" all work. We currently have almost 25k users and I'm proud of the fact that people really do find it useful. A friend recently mentioned to me that he used Jarvis to remind him about his dentist appointment.
this is really cool! the lack of explanation and any privacy statements makes me somewhat nervous though. reminders can be somewhat personal.
True, but one could probably come up with codewords for any really personal reminders.

#130https://pdfcv.com - a tool for creating a CV/resume online. It has been running for 5 years, without adding any new features and people still find it useful.
How are you doing LinkedIn import? We had it at https://standardresume.co, but lost it when they closed off the developer API.
