#903In my spare time I've been working on a small service for making sure I remember friends and families birthdays. I think it's really important but with friends all having kids it's becoming more and more to keep track of in the calendar. I'm putting together a small web app which takes in the birthday and sends me a reminder a set amount of time away, with some suggestions for birthday gifts.
The suggestions right now are just ones that I've entered as I've come across ideas throughout the year for people. But I want to try and plug in known interests and see if I can do a better recommendation for myself. I'm hoping to keep it quite small as I don't want to take the spirit out of remembering people's birthdays, but I do want to be more consistent.

#904It's still early in development, but it has a large number of features that I've always wanted. A dynamic entity system so users can create their own entities with their own traits. Random tables. A madlibs still generator. All of these things work together, too. You can have tables that randomly pick other tables values, or you can reference your own custom entities. And all this can be tied to maps or a calendar. Again, all something users can create. And of course, all of this can be shared out so you can have a published gazetteer and encyclopedia of your world that is easy to manage.
Mostly done because existing systems were too clunky, and wikis don't offer the same level of control and reuse. For example, you can reference entities parameters in other entities allowing you to embed data in multiple places and have it have a single source of truth.
