I was tired of YouTube website UI, so I created a simple macOS app to track YouTube channels and playlists. It is called Telik and available both as open source and for a small fee in Mac App Store.

#132Flavor
A flavor pairing app, inspired by The Flavor Bible and similar books

#133https://github.com/alexpovel/srgn It grew out of a niche, almost historical need: using a QWERTY keyboard, but needing access to German Umlauts (ä, ö, ü, as well as ß). Switching keyboard layouts is possible but exhausting (it's much more pleasant sticking to one); using modifier keys is similarly tedious, and custom setups break and aren't portable. So this tool can do: $ echo 'Gruess Gott, Poeten und Abenteuergruet…
I had this need! Did you opt to blacklist words with vowel combinations that should not be transformed, or whitelist those that should? Or something else entirely?
It's currently whitelist-based [0]. The downside is larger (code) size. The upside is simplicity. I imagine a blacklist could also work well, at smaller size but with more preprocessing needed.

#135I mostly code my own games with a target group of 1, my favourites are http://lalo.li/lsd/ https://updownredgreenetc.franzai.com/ https://spinner.franzai.com/ https://dance.franzai.com/ (basically a lava lamp you can interact with) from the app side i like https://qrpwd.franzai.com/ coded to save my 2 factor backup codes qr encoded and encrypted in my photo stream and https://github.com/franzenzenhofer/thisismy a com…
http://lalo.li/lsd/ was really cool. You should make a mobile app out of it

#136I like using my E-Reader to read things, and often "things" will be articles on the web.
But I also like making annotations and like the reading app I use (KOReader) quite a lot, so firing up a browser would hurt the experience.
So I made a script that turns websites into cleaned-up epub files that get synced over to my E-Reader:

It's deliberately engineered just far enough to be good enough for my use case :-)

#137A few years ago, my wife and I decided to adopt a rescue cat from battersea.org.uk. However, it was a frustrating experience as the staff didn't always update the website regularly, and we'd find that any suitable cats would be snapped up before we'd even seen them. I spotted that the website served its data to the frontend via an unsecured internal JSON API, so I built an Elixir app that would poll the API endpoint…
That’s super heartwarming to read. Congrats on your success!
Thanks! Probably the only side project I've ever seen through to completion

#138Nothing public, but I’ve moved from tech into driving trucks, and I wrote a small website I use daily to track my working hours, rest, payslips, mileage and weight - so far it’s been about 3 months since I’ve had to make any code changes
Re: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
#139If you mean mobile apps, none, though I have gotten interested in writing some. CLI and very simple web apps (local cgi's), quite a few. GUI: nothing for real practical personal use, but a few to practice with the toolkits, and I've done commercial work with them.
I'm sad about the mobile app world. Lots of ridiculous bloated apps to do the same things that a very simple CLI or CGI script could do.

#140I did several small projects for me and my family:
- https://consumebefore.jose.gr/ to keep track of when the food expires once opened
- https://markdowntable.jose.gr/ generates markdown tables with a link to edit the table
- https://mazes.jose.gr is a simple maze generator. It never got traction inside my family, so I didn't invest much time in adding features.
- https://bookmarklet.jose.gr/ a bookmarklet generator
- https://docmati.com/ I did this for a friend and tried to productize it without much success
- https://keepthis.site/ is just for me but open to everyone. It would be cool if it gets some traction, but I know there are several alternatives, and it lacks some basic features.
