I recently built a cli called "standup" which given a git sha, will pass the diffs + commit messages to an LLM and produce a standup message. I still edit it a little but it saves time and means I never forget about stuff unless ofc it's not tracked by git.
Edit: I forgot I also wrote a JS utility called SJS that encodes a JS object to a base-64 encoded and encrypted string and then decodes it back to a JS object, using my own cipher (it’s similar to symmetrical encryption). I use it professionally and on personal projects.
1 and 2 are publicly available. Apart from tweeting once about the second app, I didn't post links anywhere so it almost satisfies the "just for yourself" criteria.
An example is my Rift Valley Timer[0] app. I use it all the time, but it isn't very popular with others.
I just believe that everything I do, I apply myself as if it was a shipping product.
--- https://RTCode.io is my real-time web playground with 2-way IO sync.
(Check out the multi-device remote sync video on the home page!)
I created this playground while working on https://try.WebPDF.pro PDF web components. It allowed me to view and edit the light DOM state of my components without reloading the page and losing the DOM state.

https://RTEdge.net is the edge network where the playground deploys code.
You can code an in-editor service worker on RTCode.io (which works inside the editor and keeps its internal state until you edit it again) that deploy to the edge with a single click. Edge workers are paired with enterprise-grade storage options KV, R2, ...
See https://new.rt.ht → Backend for more details.
Deployments can be edited by appending '?' at the end of the pathname: https://new.rt.ht/?>
Code Versions is a new feature I am working on that gives users full history, diffs, rollback, and a whole lot more!

Both the web playground and the edge network will launch publicly in 2024 (around Christmas?), after being in closed alpha for over a year.
(I say closed but anyone can Sign in with a provider and start deploying code today. Editing does not even require sign in.)
They have already proven to be incredibly useful for several teams who appreciate the power and simplicity of web standards.
Upon launch, these platforms will position themselves between CodePen and Vercel, offering superior features while maintaining laser-sharp focus on speed, efficiency, and the discipline to say no to bloat, hype, and complexity.
The coolest feature is probably the dynamic SVG in the favicon that shows the daily progress.
I wrote it to motivate myself, but in reality it was actually a fairly significant demotivator unless I actually met the target consistently - then it suddenly became very motivating to keep the streak going.
I read a lot of books on my Kobo e-reader and I wanted a way to retrieve the highlights of each book (a highlight is the result of gesturing over a piece of text, locally saving it on the device). But a given sentence could flow over to the next page, or a highlight could have been poorly taken (due to the previous reason, or sausage fingers, etc.) — and so I needed to retrieve context for each highlight as well.
Since I use TiddlyWiki for my personal "second-brain", I created a simple tool (using Textualize, a terminal user interface framework for Python) that retrieves highlights, provides context and allows for live-manipulation of context to achieve the correct highlight to save; it then makes a tiddler out of it. It's neat!
Here's the github if you want to have a look. It's not really anything professional, but it has been doing the job for me.

What's a standup message?
"I did X yesterday, starting Y today, no blockers."
Stand-ups are such a waste of time.
You can select a text on any app and activate a tooltip to do things like jumping to a URL using that string, converting epoch millis to date. I used it possibly hundreds of times a week when I worked at Stripe, mostly for object lookup.

The difference between this tooltip and other tooltips like PopClip is that the tooltip runs in App Sandbox, doesn't request any permission, and doesn't see anything except the selected string that you use for activating tooltip. It's extremely privacy-focused.
Then, I also built a mouse utility, so I can activate the tooltip using a mouse button: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noo-mouse/id1514904040
