I use a lot of Adventure Game Studio so I ended up adding things in itself to make it easier for me. But additionally I created agstoolbox to help me organize different projects using different versions of AGS and to be able to automate build pipelines with AGS.

#392I don't like having my 2FA codes on my phone and I don't want to trust any cloud 2FA managers or closed-source solutions. I couldn't find anything open source so I made a simple CLI tool that utilises a popular Go OTP library. In combination with pass, which maintains the state (ie. the 2FA secret key), I now have an open source solution I can trust:

#393I'm a software engineer and I'm trying to get into selling HTML templates. I wanted to do some competitor research to see what's selling a lot on Themeforest and what people are complaining about, to find gaps in the market.
So I made an app with Laravel that scrapes Themeforest and uses OpenAI APIs to summarise all the bad reviews.
The app is not publicly available but the result of my first scrape (circa 10 days ago) is on Gumroad https://albertofort.gumroad.com/l/themeforest-templates-ai-d...

#394I created several. The most recent: an Android app that lets you navigate any map, e.g. the one you just make a picture of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.vanderplank... I use this one myself: we like to take walks, and not always are the routes marked that clearly. Still only a handful of users, but usefull I guess for anyone that wished that e.g. Google maps made it possible to upload a picture to…
Edit: found a YouTube video, seems like it does what I think it does. Although the video could be a lot better, it's currently Boomer PowerPoint (sorry).
LetsDoThis, is that an app for a group of people? It'd be interesting if say a group of 5 people want to decide on where to go for lunch, dinner; or where to sightsee on a travel day... I guess the choices need to be granular too, e.g. a steak restaurant would be "Hard No" for some vegans.
I can imagine using a solution without a central server: one member of the group could manually collect and input all the ideas, the app would create a QR code of all the options, all members scan the code, make their choices, and someone can collect the votes from them also by scanning QR codes from their phones.
Alternatively, the data could also be a base64 string shareable via email or WhatsApp, if not all members of the group are nearby..

#395I bought one of those consoles with Android that works great for emulating games. I created the app called Beacon which is an Android launcher that helps organizing all the retro games in a nice interface. I got quite a few people that bought it and are fans of it and even the biggest YouTuber in this space with 400k subscribers showed my app in one of his videos.

I track taking vitamins, doing laundry, exercise, etc. using this application.

#397I created an open source library that turns structured text data (YAML) in a Git repository on the fly into a GraphQL API with CRUD queries / mutations.
All that is needed in the repository is a plain text GraphQL schema file that defines what the data structures look like. The Git repository itself can be located on GitHub, GitLab, or in the local filesystem.

#398I wrote a tiny applescript to make a ping sound every 5 minutes just so I have a rough sense of how long things are taking

#399I run ads on amazon. I have around 40 campaigns running in the US, and a dozen more outside of the US. Adjusting the bids each day was becoming a chore, so I created a Chrome plugin that basically does the math for me and tells me what to bid.
I still have to go into each campaign but no more copying the data into excel or using a calculator to figure out what the bid should be. Probably saves me 30 min a day.

First app: not available in your country (Romania). Sounds very useful.
OK, updatet it: it should be available in Romania (and many other countries as well). Might take some time before it becomes visible though, is not always instantaneous.
Hope you like the app.
