Oh, all of them. https://imgz.org, say. I make them for me, usually I make them available because other people might want to use them. Yesterday I made Dia[1], a small cli utility that helps you keep a work journal.

#92https://gen.go350.com/login https://github.com/62726164/ed25519-login I built a website that uses public Ed25519 keys for user authentication (rather than passwords). Users sign the current Unix Epoch time (with the private Ed25519 key) and paste that base64 encoded signature into the login form. I don't care if the idea succeeds or not, I use it for myself. I like simple, secure things and I feel webauthn is too com…
Is that supported by any password managers? :)

#93https://enso.sonnet.io - I have perhaps 10-20 regular visitors per day.
I’ve been writing with it every day for the past two years and I generally suck at sticking to new habits, so I’ve been happy with it so far! It’s my favourite project that no one uses.

It's my own personal hiking journal that I've made public so that other folks can document their own adventures too. It'll always be there as a way to explore something new or challenge myself - either to hike more miles, more vertical feet, adding new trails, or by building new features and working with contributors. There will always be new trails to explore, map, and write about over the course of my life. When I'm old and can't get out, it'll be nice to poke through the data, revisit the places I explored, and relive memories I had with friends, family, or loved ones while out exploring the woods.

No, but it would be trivial to implement that into existing ones. But since it's not a password, it doesn't seem like a good fit.

#96"Oh By"[1] It's a "universal shortener" which means it doesn't just shorten URLs - it shortens anything and turns it into a short, recognizable code. Or, what would be a recognizable code if anyone used it :) Here's an example: https://0x.co/examples.html ... and for some reason I am still enamored with the " send a text to someone in the future " use-case. [1] https://0x.co
The lost and found example is horrible LOL. If I came across that glove, I guess I might be tempted to Google the code, but that's because I'm a nerd. At best you still need to write "IF FOUND PLEASE GO TO 0x.co". And bear in mind that 0 and O are very similar.

#97I have been very casually working on a service/website that allows users to vote on issues, but using some of the more unusual voting methods; specifically Delegate Democracy and its variations.

Cool! I have implemented a similar workflow (certificate signatures as authentication) for some backend processes. No public write up currently. Certificate based authentication usage will only increase with time, imho

#100I’m making a self sobering identity vault / wallet where I can setup a threshold cryptography scheme to share keys with friends and family for recovery.
