We used it in the car when having her fall asleep before arriving would have caused problems (having to wake her up, not getting her to sleep in bed).

#33Both the app and the idea worked pretty well.

#34It has 49 actions now even when I keep removing obsolete ones.
I also made PDF viewer for comparison of 2 documents - synchronized zoom and scroll, even overlay.

Beware of spam. I did not clean the data for a while.

#38I 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 be laid upon the background map.
Earlier apps: 1 - the UNofficial Prezi Player app. Used in 56 countries, it relied upon a hack to be able to play a prezi on an Android phone or tablet. Was quite succesfull, untill of course Prezi made an official Android app of their own. (Actually: demonstrated it to Prezi and they asked nicely to make sure no one would think it was official)
2 - a ‘fixer’ of Prezi’s. This was in the time that Prezi’s could become ‘corrupt’ as one of the elements was to small such that the code would give a ‘divided by zero’ problem. I fixed a lot of these errors by hand, before I made a (paid) service, and before that a java program that fixed this by going into an XML file, finding the smallest item, and enlarging it. (Am very happy with Prezi by the way, was invited (but declined in the end) to join them for a hackathon in Budapest, was made their first ‘prezi champion of the month’, and they gifted me a life long licence for their software).
3 - I do have another app - LetsDoThis - but this one is different: it did not scratch one of my own itches, but that of my eldest daughter: she wanted to ‘swipe’ away choices like one can on Tinder. This app never really went of (my daughter did not come through on her promise to market it among her fellow students;-0
(Edit: added ‘1’ ‘2’ etc)

#39I can run `atu file.png` and have a link to it copied to my clipboard a second later. I added options for creating secret URLs, auto-deleting after time or after views, and other features like that.
For the subdomain hoster (I named it phost), I can run `phost create subdomain directory` and the directory will be uploaded and served on `subdomain.mysite.com`. I have commands for updating and deleting as well, and versioning built in.
It's extremely useful for quickly deploying little demos or one-off projects without having to commit to set anything up on a cloud console or edit NGINX config files.

#40I needed:
- app groups to easily enable/disable group of programs - wildcards in program path names - efficient IP addresses blocking, as in PeerBlock - speed limiting - auto-apply program's rules to its child processes - control SvcHost services by service names - traffic statistics history
2. https://github.com/tnodir/luaplsql - LuaPlSql is a Lua Plug-In framework for PL/SQL Developer IDE.
I used it 10 years ago to write scripts in IDE for Oracle DB.
