I've built a tool for musicians using modular gear.
This is a tool for synth people. What is cool about my tool is that I show the signal flow with a graph. Drag and drop planner.

#152propertizer.com to find the best properties to invest. I had enough to visit property portals check stats, collect info from Airbnb, and sum it. I wanted a place where I get everything.

#153I wrote something on Android a few years back called Reward-o-matic. Basically every time one of the kids did something really good, you pressed a button next to their name and a counter went up by £0.50. At the end of the month that got added to their pocket money as a bonus. Both the app and the idea worked pretty well.
Very interesting. I'm wondering, as an ex-psychotherapist, if you considered a 'minus' bonus button for really bad things? I think you're right not to (a la hackernews) but wondered if it was tried or considered?

#154I didn’t like the unwieldiness of existing planning poker apps so I’ve built one for my team over the weekend - https://estim8.pro/
Built on Elixir Phoenix LiveView, was a great little side project.

#155I’m midway thru building a grocery store price comparison app that then ocr’s the receipts. I’m hoping to save money on groceries. I may extend it to include an inventory, recipes and meal planning to fully close the loop.
Re: Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
#156I always learned new languages & frameworks by solving a pretty simple but not too simple problem: a recipe manager with persistence and the ability to organize recipes in a calendar and generate a weekly shopping list, sorting the items by supermarket aisle and in the last release I even did a task manager integration to share it with my wife (I think it was with Todoist). I did it with C#, Python+GTK, PHP and Rails.
Now I'm using Paprika and the need is forever solved, but as an exercise in terms of managing general UI, database persistence and relationships, and calendar & dates is hard enough without being overwhelming.
Other people create binary file editors, this is my problem of choice ;)

#15720 years ago, I built a CLI application for learning English. Kinda like Duolingo in the sense that it was mostly vocabulary and had some gamification. IIRC it did actually make a difference.

#159Using https://wwebjs.dev/ to read my whatsapp messages,
redis for storage/interop,
and a script written for https://github.com/matryer/xbar for a "GUI",
instead of running WhatsApp Desktop / WhatsApp Web on my machine (very bad for my attention), I have a status bar icon saying when did I last get a message from my wife, and the text of the last few messages.

#160I built an app that sends me my old (popular) tweets in order to reflect upon, and retweet for another bout of exposure.
