#142I made simple mechanical macropad (only two keys) out of LEGO bricks, ethernet wire and Arduino nano. And little bit of PC software to overcome Arduino nano limitations.
I was really surprised how springy LEGO may be :)

#143A minimalist MP3 player for my grandmother. The whole user interface is a single physical button on her desk : - ON : indefinitely play all MP3 files randomly - OFF : stop playing The longest task was to find her favourite pieces of music from my aunts and uncles. https://github.com/remipch/radio_colette
This is so sweet!!

#144Last year, my wife and I were planning a 12 day trip and I was struggling with Google Docs moving days around while we planned our final route. Told her to give me 2 days and ended up making a small app to help us plan our trip; the first version was built over New Years weekend: https://turas.app Kept working on it and it was good enough to share to Reddit 6 days later [0]. Got a good number of users and still keep…
This is cool. I’m not a super planner, but I’d use it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Always open to input an ideas; still work on it a few weekends a month and make improvements (just added a timeline/history this past weekend).

#146I rebuilt a Rhodes electric piano. Mine was in ok shape but the Rolex was ripped and some notes were hard to play. Turns out all the screws holding it together were bent.
Bought some duratex roll on coating (similar to truck bed liner) and recovered it. Then went to the hardware store and bought replacement screws and bolts to reassemble the keyboard.
Can’t believe how much better it plays now. Butter smooth.

#148I was getting bored with cutting out images from their backgrounds for a project I was working on. Existing solutions didn’t seem that great or wanted a monthly subscription, so this weekend I decided to build my own.
With 0 knowledge of Swift and a bit of ML experience I was able to build a Mac app that does a much better job of it than the built-in model.
Planning more features, including upscaling, exposure/contrast fixes and possibly inpainting.

#149I sell apps for a living - I have a few iOS apps and a macOS app. Each of them uses a different way of billing (app store, revenuecat, lemonsqueezy etc), which makes it a PITA to check the total revenue (which I need to do everyday because I am so obsessed with it). So, I recently converted my old phone into a 24/7 live sales dashboard[1] which consolidates the revenue from each service. It resembles a retro device i…
So cool, nice job.

Nice! I personally use wanderlog and am a paying user (even though the free plan gives me everything I need), maybe you could take inspiration from their monetisation strategy?
