#162Need and use are VERY different. I work for a major sports site. I certainly don't need it, and I really don't even care about sports, but I do use it every day because it's nice to kinda know what's going on sometimes.

#163I'm creating a leangains diet planner and exercise+nutrition recommendation system. I'm nearing the end of my cut, during which I've lost 15 pounds and gone from 20%-13% bodyfat in about three months with significant strength improvements. After I'm done I'll go for a few months bulking while I finish up the documentation (lots of scientific studies to comb through!) and then I'll be launching. I use the software I'v…

#164Every day, but only for parts of the year. (Do I take the average and say "at least once a week?")
It's interactive teaching software (in-class and online) that we've used in the course when it runs, but the course only runs for part of the year.

#167Yes definitely. I personally see this as a key ingredient in order to make a project really work. Of course this doesn't work for things like an X-Ray machine, but for a SaaS company like CloudPelican it does.
We currently use it to investigate root-causes of disruptions, track down bugs in the development and staging environment, and most important: monitor our entire infrastructure. This is also in line with our company vision that should allow users to have a single overview on their entire stack of servers, websites and applications. This will reduce time spent on digging through log files, switching between lots of fragmented SaaS tools, et cetera.

#169When I develop something for my own needs, most of the times I'll make it into a product. That includes mostly small web apps like disposable email, short URL, a guestbook service, a blog software, a CMS.
One of my projects (online appointment scheduling), though, I started using only recently for a reddit cake day reminder. People register and the software sends them an email when their reddit cake day is coming up.

#170Just a pet project, but i use playlisteverything.com every day to listen to music from soundcloud/youtube (and hopefully soon spotify) in the same queue.
