Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here's the Repo: https://github.com/lytedev/lyric_screen

Nice! I did something similar when the pandemic started, but more focused on displaying slides and not organizing lyrics: https://github.com/paupin2/slides I'll definitely copy some ideas from you :)

Haha by all means! =)

I've got a couple in various stages (shiny item syndrom maybe ?)

https://ZeroToCentury.com - basically enter in your name, optional email, start date, fitness level, cycling level, and miles / km, and it creates a riding schedule for you to build up to riding a century (100 miles) over the course of about 50 days (depending on riding and fitness levels). It was a quick throw away app that i built to keep myself accountable during the summer / fall to get out and ride my bike. I rode a lot but was not consistent nor did i hit my century...i did lose 20 pounds which i've subsequently gained back since october though :(

https://Eurotripr.com - planned to be a site to showcase itineraries to allow users to plan trips to Europe (COVID obviously threw a wrench in this one), but it's been a goal of mine for over a decade to build something like this that helps people plan trips to Europe and build a community around European Travelers. I recently saw what Pieter Levels did with NomadList and figured it was finally time to get off my A$$ and build the thing...but COVID, life, 9-5, procrastination habit got in the way again

http://craigcampbell.io - Test site for Soccer Skills Training App (its behind a login but free and i won't contact anyone who registers to check it out, i'll probably just delete you) - built this for a local soccer club when COVID first hit to allow coaches to upload training videos (self made or from Youtube/vimeo) and have players compete in app by practicing new skills

http://craigcampbell.io/books.php - My personal reading list - i built this out this month and entered all the books i have in my ever growing 'want to read' pile / library.

https://Solomaker.life - blog site to discuss my journey to try to get out of the 9-5 and build an actual useful project i can monetize. The goal WAS to document my journey daily, but life and procrastination destroy me :/

I wanted to build a location based discussion application. I thought during covid, people who were talking to others in the same area it could be really helpful for people feeling lonely so I built an app called Jest. It's still in beta, but I would love it if anyone could try it out and send feedback :) https://testflight.apple.com/join/NPwgYK3H

Journal Prompts, get constant prompts delivered to your inbox, to help you make the journaling habit stick! https://sendfox.com/journal-prompts I'm still in validation step, wanted to know if people are interested in such service before I jump in to development. Honestly I just wanted to dive into development and dealing with code, but if I want a proper product I need to validate it first and I need to deal with peo…

I signed up, this is really interesting.

I have been working on a journalling pwa (https://zenjournal.org/ - I need to change the name). The daily template is configurable, but it has been a week and I am already bored of my default template.

I created an HTML app to help you learn Mandarin or German. It's flashcards for vocabulary and writing. I was very excited about it a couple of years ago but then I stopped and now I'm the only one using it.

It's written in go and postgresql and Vue, and right now its just running inside of a "screen" session in a terminal on Linode.

This is so true but my biggest struggle. Everything I have just shipped before I thought it was ready did really well, yet I still struggle to do it. I built my own static site generator, which I use for my own blog: https://github.com/kiramclean/morphy

I need to at least add documentation, and obviously there's a million other things I think I need before I tell anyone else about it.

https://documentation.page/ A documentation website generator for open source. No need to pollute your Github repo with html+css+etc etc files, just write markdown and point your domain there and it'll render it. Example output for a paid project (my own): https://statux.dev/ The main fear from multiple people is that the project might "go evil" at some point and add ads or similar to project's documentation. I defin…

https://www.thingybase.com/ It’s a home inventory app! I’ve been working on this and using it for almost two years now in tiny little scraps of time I have between my day job and raising 2 kids. I’ve embraced the “half-baked” aspect of shipping a project like this by drawing silly stick figures for all the illustrations. It’s just been so much fun building and using it. If you use it, don’t worry about me abandoning…

just fyi your thermal laser printers link on the about page is broken. I didn't have a hard time finding the page but still wanted to bring it to your attention.

I'll take a look, thanks!
