It is still hard to me to know how to convert timestamp to human readable date and vice-verse. So I have created this simple website to help me out - https://timestamp.online/.

#212Similar to others here, I've made way too many projects to count, but some of my recent favorites:
1. https://mapofthebest.com - Simplifies finding the best restaurants & bars around the world
2. https://barspro.com - Helps me identify the healthiest energy & protein bars
3. https://www.foodie.bot - Automatic restaurant reservation checker & booker
I'm starting to realize all my projects are food-related...

#213This years I got involved in exploring anything 4 day week (4x8hrs), so I built:
- 4 day week job aggregator. Currently ~200 listed jobs from companies around the world: https://okjob.io/
- 4 day week companies. 120 hand picked companies hiring for 4 days (not seasonal 4 day week or 4x10hrs)): https://okjob.io/companies
- 4 day week calculator. A funny little tool to calculate the number of workdays you save before retirement by switching to 4 day week job:https://okjob.io/4-day-week-calculator/

#214I moved to Berlin for the art scene. When trying to research galleries to visit or catch up on new exhibits, the number of bad websites was overwhelming. Over 300 sites to slog through. It took a long time just to navigate all the GDPR consents, newsletter asks, splash videos, and broken links. They also don't post their own address in many cases. So, I built a list of galleries from 3 different directories and came up with a master list of 353 art gallery websites. I created a Puppeteer script that snapshots every site on Sunday morning and then an enrichment script gathers current metadata from the Google Maps API. There were some growing pains and problems with encodings that nuked Puppeteer. Also, some CDNs were aggressive and blocked the requests. Over a few months I worked through all the issues as a small side project after work. Now it works perfectly. It's an easy way to see the vibe of the Berlin art scene in a single page app.

#216Earlier this year I wanted to practice my JS skills and needed to send some F*ck cards to my friends. So I built https://thefuck.cards
It's a little web app where you make the crd to your taste, address it and once generated, you can share it with anyone.

#217I created a home bar app for organising my bottles and drink recipes.
Now other people use it too, but I still sometimes struggle with prioritising features for myself instead of building for others.

#219I got an idea for game mechanic I wanted to test and ended up learning bit of Godot to try it out. https://flopblock.com/
This was fun. I like the little bounce of playing field when the block hits the bottom. And it loads pretty fast for a Godot web game.
