#182I generally write my own infrastructure tools.
Most notable ones are:
- Nudge (CLI for Pushover): https://sr.ht/~bayindirh/nudge/
- Railgun (CLI for Mailgun): https://sr.ht/~bayindirh/railgun/
- Magazine Renamer (Auto PDF renamer): https://sr.ht/~bayindirh/magazine-renamer/
There are other older ones lost to the sands of time due to being inexperienced with these things. Nudge is being actively developed, Railgun & Magazine Renamer are stable. Another tool is on the design board.

#183I created https://kidsclock.quaxio.com/ to help my kid learn to read analog clocks. He mastered the skill before I finished the app (works fine on desktop, not yet fully functional on mobile). I love to create these kinds of very simple webapps to keep kids busy at e.g. restaurants.
I bet there are tons of similar analog clock apps out there but mine is 100% free and open source (https://github.com/alokmenghrajani/kidsclock), without any tracking or ads.

#184A very simple and opinionated web-based rss reader: https://git.sr.ht/~oyvindsk/rss-web-reader (https://github.com/oyvindsk/rss-web-reader)
Main feature is just having something I can use effortless across all my devices.
Only runs on google cloud ATM, since it used their proprietary database =/

#185I've built a few apps which started out as tools for my own use and later polished + released for public. - Cone: This started out as a small tool to help me identify the name of the colors of objects around me (i am a red-green colorblind). Now it's a full fledged color picker app with a Pantone license - https://cone.app - CBVision: This is another small tool for colorblind people which shifts the problematic color…
Cone looks fantastic. You're going to make me buy an IPhone.

#186Nothing 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
Could be a SAAS. :)

#187I created https://a.foo a while ago which just summarizes URLs for me. Like, if I don't have time to read an article or something, I just pop 'a.foo' in front of the URI and it gives me a quick rundown. EDIT: semi worried it'll go down now that I've posted it here but meh.
How did you manage to buy such a short domain? It's nice!
Due to the .foo TLD

#188A 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…
Great example of a pet project :)

#189I made https://www.bodyweight.fitness to help me create and track workouts in bodyweight fitness exercises, and my progressions between them.
As a true 'own use' project it has no onboarding, no marketing, but if anyone is interested in using it, let me know

Wow, I guess this predates GPT, what does it use, scapy?
