I'm working on what I'm envisioning will be the one-stop shop of showing things to your TVs/screens. Whether that's slide decks, dashboards, games, and whatever you can imagine.

For a quick demo, just scan the QR code in the landing page: https://theopenpresenter.com/

Oh and of course it's open-source: https://github.com/Vija02/TheOpenPresenter

Stowly - https://getstowly.app - a home inventory app to keep track of all your things, maintenance tasks, service history, receipts, etc. Helps keep track of warranty information and alert you when it's coming up. Keep track of important maintenance tasks that you need to perform often, like changing the air filter, and you can keep track of service history so if your oven breaks and it's fixed, you can track that. Most importantly, in the event of a disaster, you can export a report for insurance or you can create a read-only link to share with your adjustor to show all of the things you lost, their value, etc.

A recipe manager PWA - https://halite.cc - I wanted to pull in recipes from social sites, videos where they only speak or show the ingredients/instructions, and be able to paste in text or json from recipes I'm making myself. Uses yt-dlp with a Gemini fallback, sites go direct fetch --> scrape proxy, and a monitor watches for breakages.

I also found it annoying to edit recipes so built in edit by asking ("double the garlic" rewrites the ingredient list). Also set up an mcp connection with Claude and it's been fun collaborating with Claude on what's for dinner and having it find, edit or make new recipes
