#12I wrote a tool to tail CloudWatch logs called saw: http://github.com/TylerBrock/saw
I was so fed up trying to debug lambdas and the other AWS offerings that a tool like this to see program output in near realtime is indispensable. I use it all the time.
Is it bug free? No
Did i write tests for it? Also no.
Is it useful? Yes.

#13Many times I wanted a small portable tool that I can manage 3d printer / cnc gcode files. So I built just that. https://github.com/skittleson/GcodeController

#14I made https://foragoodstrftime.com/ - which isn't open source (But honestly is just a few lines of code). I made it as I found it useful and hoped others would as well.

#15I built Ward (https://github.com/darrenburns/ward), a Python test framework.
I have issues with the way the pytest fixture system works (parameter names matching function names), the readibility of the output, and some other things.
It started as a little learning experiment and has turned into something I've been building into what I hope will (and already is in some aspects) be a viable contender to pytest.

#16I want a web interface that sets up ssl certificates for me (with wildcard sub domains) and let’s me create sub domains on the fly so I can run multiple apps on my server quickly.
I don’t like nginx because managing the config files is a hassle, it’s complex, and there’s a lot of copying redundant config files over and over again.

#17I created https://minimalanalytics.com some years ago.

#18I wrote a tool that parses a single user’s Cloudwatch metric logs as a .har file. Har files are used in the network developer pane in browsers. Doing this allowed us to visualize a customer’s journey and discover areas in the code with high latency!

#19I wrote a cooperative multitasking system for Turbo Pascal because I needed to be able to stream data through a series of text pipes and it was easier than faking it with a bunch of temporary files. I also wrote a series of data entry routines to allow the quick creation of database editing programs.
I haven't open sourced them because I doubt anyone would care about those old MS-DOS/TP7 tools now, and I'm not up for maintaining them.
