I created https://uiino.com (painless planning for your app with AI).
As a product studio, we spend hours brainstorming and creating user flows, feature ideas, and edge cases. I prototyped a solution on a weekend and now we use it daily, saving time.
We released it publicly after a few months. We work on it every Friday, finding it enjoyable.
P.S. Got a startup, app, or website idea? Just describe it in plain language. Uiino's AI will generate your story maps in under 10 seconds. It's FREE! (No account required!)
A note-taking app that is similar to Obsidian where I can link notes to each other. Some differences include no naming rules (a lot of my note titles have a colon) except uniqueness, custom clusters so my knowledge graph is manageable. I’m going to add different note types (i.e. not every note is .md, but have .csv and .ical as well) that can be expanded and linked within a note. It’s written in React, hosted on AWS…
I wrote a script that looks at C++ files, figures out the dependencies (by looking at what headers they include) and automatically compiles and links out of date files. It makes programming in C++ sort of like programming in a modern language like Go. It took me a couple of days to implement and I use it any time I am working on my own C++ projects. I eventually want to add package management features to allow integr…
Bill of Materials (BOM) software for identifying dependencies along with versions that are out of date or vulnerable is a growing market in Government.
This produces BOM with versions but rather than out of date it focuses on licenses which comes handy during acquisitions due diligence. Supports many languages
In high school I built a chrome extension to secretly chat with my girlfriend on the Google Search page. Her parents were super strict and would not allow having a boyfriend, we were caught once so wanted to be few steps ahead of their detection. Using internet was allowed for her to study. Made the extension such that when you search for something popular click on the largest image in knowledge graph (right side box…
I wrote a video recorder specifically for one show on a streaming site that had low-level DRM enabled. DRM meant that tools couldn't grab the stream directly, but it was low level enough that the screen could be recorded. So what I did is write PHP software that used Selenium to open a browser with DRM enabled, logged in to the site, located my show, started it, started screen and audio recording with FFMPEG, and when the episode ended, stopped recording and moved to the next episode. To speed up the process, the program started multiple instances of this, and I used PulseAudio sinks to record their audios separately. It was magical to watch this work, like I was in a real TV studio. I also wrote an OCR solution with Tesseract and ffmpeg in bash, that grabs the title card frame and parses the text out of it. Time spent is around 20 hours. After the thing was done and I already had some episodes, my partner and I come to an agreement that the show is pretty toxic, and we don't want it in our lives after all, so I deleted the episodes that I had, and haven't used the software since.
A git switching utility that switches git profiles and ssh keys between two accounts, written in powershell. Its a one click solution by clicking of two batch file wrappers one for original and one for override configs, I love it saving me faffing manually w git configs and ssh agents.
Built custom (atom) extensions for the Hydra vj environment (https://hydra.ojack.xyz/) that add in midi control (based on the midi spec for web which I am still amazed exists and is at least somewhat supported https://www.w3.org/TR/webmidi/) , some lazy eval helpers and custom css styling for the programming text for more crazy feedback visuals.
A custom build script that runs a client and server architecture and their related logs all split in the same Window terminal window.
Several highly idiosyncratic single purpose visualisation / vj apps in processing and openframeworks, some doing camera feedback stuff, some wiggling points and particulars around on music or blob detection.
Made a simple app to put all my Apple Watch walks on the same map, so I can walk every street in my city. Surprisingly there wasn't anything available that was free or straightforward, despite it being an easy app to develop. Honestly, it's extremely fun to use something of your own every day, and patch it up when you come up with some other ideas. I did release it on AppStore ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mapcut/i…
Wanted to check it out and was surprised that it requires an account.
I recently had our first baby. I created a self hosted web app for tracking diapers, food, etc. Through the delirium of the first month, it’s been so helpful with recalling when and what we did last and staying in communication with my partner without always being awake at the same time. I know there’s other apps out there but I wanted to keep my baby’s health data private. And it’s fun to create a bespoke app tailor…
We're doing this sort of tracking in a Telegram group. We just send messages with a well-defined structure:
e.g.
S 2000
W 0800
F 0900 banana
P 1010
...
(S = sleep, W = wake up, F = food, P = poop, etc.)
Every few months I copy paste the messages from Telegram into a text file and have a script to parse, clean it up and add the dates. Would be fun to try some data science on the past few years of this data.. at some point :)
