A backyard wildlife narration that takes video clips from different styles of cameras and turns it into a documentary style narration - https://everydayearth.ai.

The code might be slop, but it saves me time extracting information from long-form videos that would require 20-60 minutes of my time otherwise.

I'm working on a self-hosted open source system for monitoring and alerting on stalled / crashed / overdue asynchronous workflows. I had some weird things I needed to monitor and log analysis was kind of a PITA for dealing with them so I built this instead:
