Not the most original of ideas, but I was really sold on djot [1] and wanted something less fussy than pelican [2], so it just happened.

#92I created several. The most recent: an Android app that lets you navigate any map, e.g. the one you just make a picture of: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.vanderplank... I use this one myself: we like to take walks, and not always are the routes marked that clearly. Still only a handful of users, but usefull I guess for anyone that wished that e.g. Google maps made it possible to upload a picture to…
First app: not available in your country (Romania). Sounds very useful.

#93A couple of them: Quick access for Fastmail Masked Emails (I use both, iCloud' Hide My Mail and Fastmail's Masked Email, so I needed something for Fastmail as well): https://apps.apple.com/lt/app/secret-inbox/id6462335670 Too Many Records: returns 3 records from my Discogs collections: https://apps.apple.com/lt/app/too-many-records/id6449257927
Too Many Records is awesome -- just installed it and I think this will help me in selecting records for my weekly vinyl gig. Great work.

#94I’ve built hyperfocus.health to fit all my needs while coding: unskippable eye breaks, CSV time-tracking and micro-tasking.
It’s available on macOS in the App Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hyperfocus-2/id1621523525?mt=1...

#95I wrote a mobile app for managing all my clothes and tracking what I wear every day (I’m heavily into avant garde fashion).
Used it every single day for almost 4 years now, and it gives me informed decisions on what I rarely wear, my favourite combinations, value for money, and what clothes I should consider selling or donating. It’s been great to reduce my consumption and keep a closet only filled with items I can pair well with

#96Mobile: Two RSS readers (one for news, one for videos), calendar, text editor, spending tracker, several games, wifi remote controller for esp32cam, euro coins collecting tracker, moderation tools, web browser.
Desktop: git client, music player, video editor, text editor, calculator, schematic capture and simulation soft, perfboard designer, to-do, spreadsheet, and about 30 one off tools and chrome extensions.

#97- I've created a shopping/recipe app.
An app that supports a database of nutrients, recipe ingredients, supermarket shopping links. Something like "give me 10 balanced[1] meals, give me the shopping list with no duplicates and links to supermarket X" Nothing new, but all other apps I've tried are always missing something I want.
- Started creating a repo of NuShell scripts to scratch my own itch
I added things organically (when I needed something I tried to break the action into smaller functions). By the end I had quite nice library that dealt from Kubernetes deployments to Linux hardening.

#98- A tool for extracting ingredients and steps from recipes [1]
- A tool to transform paragraphs from a single Notion page into a microblog (html + rss) [2]
Both are done with Clojure because they seemed like a good opportunity to try something new.

All the existing feeds were either per channel or overwhelmed with ads.

#100So many interesting things here! I've created quite a few things, but the ones I still use at least every week (some every day) are:
- Budget Zen: https://budgetzen.net - Simple and end-to-end encrypted budget & expense management. (OSS and self-hostable, web + PWA, and is also a profitable product)
- LockDB: https://lockdb.com - A CLI & NPM + Deno package that makes event locking easier. (OSS and self-hostable)
- Apollo: https://apollowrites.com - An affordable brand copywriter for blog posts and articles. (web app)
- Loggit: https://loggit.net - Simple and end-to-end encrypted life tracking & logging. (OSS and self-hostable, web + PWA)
