This is about as half-baked of a project as I've made, being a designer and all. I'm not happy with the apps available today for playing and organizing music/audiobooks/podcasts/etc. because they all focus on streaming and not folks like me who prefer to manage their own files. I was inspired to design my dream apps, and that's exactly what I did. I call it half-baked because these are little more than screenshots, as I haven't learned how to code iOS apps.

#292https://sbhn.netlify.app/
Slightly Better Hacker News (SBHN). It's an alternative HN web-client that I built and use as my default HN version nowadays. It features some layout improvements over the original and has a dark theme.
It is not yet feature complete (missing login, routing is broken in some rare cases) but I plan on improving it on my next "lazy" weekend and get a nice domain for it. I'm also going to publish the source code on GitHub.

#293Probably doesn't even count as a project, but I mentioned this in the failed side projects thread recently and someone seemed to like the idea!
You can browse books curated by prizes their authors have won ie. books written by Turing Award winners or Fields Medal winners. Anyways, I got encouraged a bit last time and I'm thinking about trying to expand the website a bit, so far I didn't get very far.

A weekly email newsletter with updates on corona travel restrictions and options. I have the content ideas down... just haven't done anything about monetizing it yet.

#295Half baked stuff here, web scrapping the details of spotify playlist from a given link and downloading it from youtube using youtube-dl. No API keys involved for the user.
Issue I'm being lazy to debug is it's just extracting top 30 songs.

#296Paint by Pixel: creates a custom paint-by-numbers grid based on an image you upload and colors you already have. The "download template" button doesn't work right now, but it just replaces the colors from the "preview" image with numbers and a white background that you print and color in. Similar to a paint by numbers craft. Right now I'm working on the backend before making the frontend minimally-less-ugly. It resiz…
I couldn't get it work on mobile.. I selected and image and hit preview and nothing happened.

I built it a while ago, and don't have the heart to shut it down. It's basically meant to be musical flash cards. If it got some more traction, I could probably afford to spend time actually polishing it off.

#298Merge by bubbl (in app stores):
https://bubbl.games/merge.html
My first game that I made with unity in 2019 and got away from it but there are still many features to write and lots to fix with the website as I just hacked everything together.
Looking for any feedback people are willing to give.
Free to play on the web.

#299A birdfeeder, a security camera, and this python script: https://github.com/ctrager/opencv_py/blob/master/red_yellow_...
I want to record visits to my birdfeeder but not all the visits. 99% of the visitors are sparrows, which, no offense to any sparrows reading this, are dull colored. I want to capture the cardinals, bright red birds. The python script monitors the video stream and starts recording when the image gets suddenly redder. But it's configurable to also react to blue (bluejays) and yellow (goldfinches).
This is barely baked, just a script.

#300https://exportoutlookmacmail.com/
I started this Mac App project in early 2017 that uses AppleScript to export/archive mail messages from Microsoft Outlook for Mac. I was looking for beta users right as my family abruptly moved to a new city. I haven't made time to touch it since. It essentially went from close-to-baked to mothballed. I'll share it here with the caveat that it does not actually work at the moment due to an AppleScript-related error. If there's enough interest in the idea, I'll find time to look into that!
