#352http://yetihehe.com/wcalc/ Weight calculator which applies simple control algorithm to help you lose weight. I've lost 10kg (huge success for me, never had such reduction before in my life), but it was probably too fast and I couldn't keep up. Stores data in browser, nothing is saved on server. Control algorithm - weigh yourself in the morning, enter your weight and it tells you how much food you can eat that day to steadily lose weight to target, currently pegged at 0.2kg weight loss a day. Only in polish, but I may translate and expand it if anyone thinks it would be helpful.
Field names:
Start (start date of diet)
Waga początkowa (starting weight)
Waga końcowa (detination weight)
Waga (current weight)
Przelicz (recalc)
Data utrzymywania (last day of weight reduction)
Limit jedzenia (how much can you still eat today)

#353I've been writing a library to help me forecast my personal finances accounting for taxes, various expenditures, income, and unexpected windfalls. I started because I noticed that whenever I tried to forecast my future, I kept repeating a lot of code and thought it would be better to just build out a library I could re-use. Plus, it's been a cool opportunity to learn Rust :)

#355I did a remake of an old swedish game (SinkSub/DepthCharge) for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bute.bi106...
It uses a custom opengles engine instead of using unity or something for free, as I wanted to practice opengl and android development.
Lately Google Admob DISABLED my ads (they say they are limiting my account even though I did not do anything malicious), but I couldnt care less

#356https://github.com/get-set-fetch/scraper - I've been working (intermittently :) ) on a nodejs or browser extension scraper for the last 3 years, see the other projects under the get-set-fetch umbrella. Putting a lot more effort lately as I really want to do those Alexa top 1 million analysis like top js libraries, certificate authorities and so on. A few weeks back I've posted on Show:HN as you can do basic/intermediate? scraping with it.
Not capable of handling 1 mil+ pages as it still limited to puppeteer or playwright. Working on adding cheerio/jsdom support right now.

#357I made this iOS game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/two-birds-one-stone/id15396463... I have wanted to be able to play this game for a long time, and probably thanks to pandemic, I did the work to enable it to be shared with others. It has made a grand total of 3 sales this year, and that isn't really bothering me (the main frustration is the apple developer fee...) There is various info (including a trailer of sorts…
Nice! What you can do is reuse the structure of your game, and make another one. Basically, just re-skin it. Then, I think a better approach is to just give it away for free. Then, display ads, or sell tokens when they player dies. Only display ads, in non-critical parts of the game, like when the player dies, or when he pauses the game. Or in between levels. But, the biggest money maker, might be to sell tokens. Onc…
Please don't support such dark patterns that are already used everywhere. Your comment honestly reads as if you don't want the game to be enjoyed and this isn't at all in the "I don't care if this project succeeds" idea of the topic.

#358A calculator for the terminal I made to help me develop my gameboy emulator. With it I can combine multiple representations (0x) (0b) (decimal), do bitwise operations while visualizing the bits, change the amount of bits used in each calculation and some other neat things :) https://github.com/alt-romes/programmer-calculator
While all of these projects are amazing. Yours is the one that made me genuinely smile, thanks for that! There is something so charming and cheerful about creating a niche tool to support a niche tool.
Edit to add: Well documented too, full of surprises :)

#359Vertical indoor farm to reach the highest throughout possible per cubic meter are, using only non-GMO plants by discovering the right phenomics- https://hexafarms.com Vertical indoor farms are getting a lot of attention in the recent times, but the issue is the lack of plant expertise.

#360Weight tracking site I made for myself and keep using for years: http://yadt.iotide.com/
It's no longer developed just maintained. There are two other users besides me :) (the sample weight history is my own weight over the last 15 years).
MPD android client I made for myself and eventually published as a paied app (just to keep myself commited).
I keep developing and supprting it altough it earns in a month less than what I earn in two hours work as SW developer. https://mafa.indi.software/
