#352I got tired of the terrible split screen markdown note taking apps. So built myself bangle.io [1] , a WYSIWYG note taking web app that is completely local and saves notes directly in markdown format in your hard drive.

#353I was frustrated with people missing emails/slack messages about GitHub pull requests.
I built a browser extension that shows a notification pop-up and updates the extension badge whenever you get a new pull request. Then I proceeded to convince my colleagues to use it.
For any Googlers out there, this is the same thing as CL Monitor, but for GitHub. I used to maintain CL Monitor back in the days (although I didn't invent it).
You can try it out at https://github.com/fwouts/prmonitor :)

#354At my company we used to pass around a single wildcard cert for our corporate domain. All servers, including many internal servers, all had the same long lived cert. I made a tool to make it easy for us to deploy Let’s Encrypt certs for internal only servers that would normally not be able to do an http challenge against LE. https://github.com/Imageware/TLSential One of the projects im most proud of. :)

Thanks for the kind words. Script is open for anyone to use or adapt. Credit and link back would be nice :-) https://gist.github.com/vivekhaldar/92368f35da2d8bb8f12734d8...
I think they mean that you should make it into a standalone product that can be used by someone who doesn't know what Python or GitHub is. So if you are ever looking for a side hustle, you have a good candidate already.

#357I had a major bike accident, shoulder dislocation that took weeks to recover and broken pinky. I couldn’t type with my left hand, but I couldn’t afford not to work. I looked into one-handed keyboards, found a variety of half-keyboards that mirrored the other half while holding the spacebar. These are patented, and I also couldn’t afford them. Being patented, I was also unable to find software offering the same. So I…
There's also qmk's swap hands feature [1]. Qmk doesn't run on any hardware but if it does the possibilities are pretty much endless. Glad you made it through though and don't need it any more :)

#359Not sure it is a "tool", but I've created 2 iOS shortcuts to show QR codes for 2 use cases:
- let people connect to my wifi; - give my name + phone number to people (avoids spelling issues and typos).
I simply wrote some text corresponding to a wifi network and a vcard (see [0] for how this looks like) and show that text as QR code.
