#192I built a review website (think G2) for political tools as the industry seemed incredibly opaque and driven by word of mouth with the idea of also eventually expanding to giving rankings to individual campaign consultants as well and also sketched out a "toptal for campaigns" site but never built it.

#193I built https://www.spendlight.com/ for my wife and I to not just track spending but to get a handle on our sentiment around our spending choices. While we still have different reactions to spending decisions, it at least gave us the language and ground rules to work towards our personal finance goals.

#194Earlier quoted context omitted.
That sounds great. Can you put it up on GitHub so I can use it please?
I mean sure, but I wasn't exaggerating when I said it is probably not usable on other peoples computers. It only works on linux, it doesn't work on wayland, and because I am using xinput to disable the keyboard, you will have to replace the device name in blockKeyboard.py: https://github.com/TT-392/keyAlarm/tree/master It shouldn't be too difficult to write your own though, so, if anyone wants to do so, feel free to…
Works on my machine. Thanks! (Xfce)

A webapp for creating calendar events with unique links to meet.jit.si for video conferencing. It was an early pandemic project that I haven’t done anything with since putting it up.

#196I made a website for using ranked choice voting for online polls - https://poller.io - It has been nice to be able to do a quick Ranked Choice Instant Runoff Vote or Borda Count when deciding on things with friends (i.e. where to go on a trip, or which board game to play).
I "marketed" it by posting on HN and Reddit, but that's about it.

#198I once wrote an invoicing application because I couldn't find any good ones that weren't cloud-based: https://projectinvoice.nl/

#199I have made a process for doing pen drawings involving bitmap to SVG conversion. It's called Robot Draws You! and it's been in perpetual limbo for the past few years as my career has struggled and cratered. I just don't have the time to be able to focus on a creative endeavour when I feel like my world is crumbling around me. I've written multiple versions of the bitmap to SVG converter, I have an XY robot gantry set…
I'm sorry about your career - this must have been difficult to write about. Sometimes it's about the journey, take solace that you just might be in a temporary dip in your life adventure. How can some of these setbacks be opportunities?

#200I built a gutter estimating app for pricing seamless gutter installations.
I’m a carpenter, but I spent a few weeks helping a friend with his gutter business years ago. He would spent 45-60 minutes building an estimate for each potential client.
The app I wrote allowed him to complete each estimate I’m less than 90 seconds.
However he refused to use it because “I’ve always done it this way.”
He lost the business and now works at Kroger. Some people just don’t like technology.
