My townhome complex had one of those call boxes at the front gate. When Doordash/FedEx/the cleaners/the in-laws/etc arrived they would have to call me from the call box and I'd have to answer it and listen to garbled audio to figure out who it was and press 9 to open the gate. It was kind of a pain, so I made a Twilio app to answer calls from the call box. I set up custom entry codes that I could hand out to anyone.…
My current streak is 347 days! It really made ME journaling daily. A number of folks who have also registered maxed at 61 only :(
I'm currently hacking the SNES mouse into Sim City.

I use twilio to make outbound calls to that number using my registered phonenumber. I put a Django app in front for home owners so they can add authorized phone numbers with a expiration date.
Whenever someone is a the gate they call a twilio number, my django app checks the validity, opens the gate by calling the gate’s number with my number as ID, plays back some welcome message “hello chris, welcome to…” and sends the owner a push notification that person X is en route.
Todo: add a feature to redirect an unknown number directly to the owner and open the gate after manual verification.
It was written as I got sick of particularities of squid proxy. Using it for 5 years for home network as transparent proxy, never released it.

It was originally created to drive a particular large LED installation I work on, but I've generalized it to the point of being able to drive other installations as well. It passes texture data between nodes running compute shaders to chain together patterns/effects, which is a fun and powerful paradigm for creating visuals. Not as powerful or featureful as "real" solutions like TouchDesigner, (which, if I'd known about when starting out, I probably would have just used), but I do know all its ins and outs and can change it exactly how I want, which is nice.

Was inspired by some existing editors so I made my own and extended it to create macros for sending sysex/PC messages to multiple devices.
I thought it would be easier post-launch to get restaurants to participate and add their own information (nearly-free marketing), but that was a faulty assumption. The admin interface is also pretty cool, very simple to specify blocks of time when the specials are active.
Unfortunately it hasn't been updated in 4 or 5 years. When Covid first started, I launched a sister site just to list restaurants that were open, I took that down about 6 months ago.
Anyway, yeah, that FF extension. It represents the culmination of about 5 years of me trying to solve this problem with progressively more complex and incrementally better solutions until I finally arrived at a ridiculously over-engineered version that actually works as it should.
