I'm hacking on https://bankhooks.com

The premise is simple - define arbitrary conditions on transactions or balances, and get webhooks or emails when those conditions fire on any of your bank accounts.

I have >10 bank accounts and was having trouble monitoring them. I use this to alert me of any activity, on any of my accounts, that is unexpected. I no longer need to log into banks. I also use it to alert me if my balance gets too low or too high in any account.

I've also deployed Lambda functions to e.g. post my utilities bill to Splitwise to automatically split with my roommates, or pipe all transactions into a Google sheet so I can analyze my spending over time.

It started out as a simple hobby project but has grown into an immensely useful tool in my day-to-day life.

This week, my wife and I made an online version of Cards Against Humanity: https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.online Try it with 4+ players while on a video chat. We just play-tested it with 7 friends for 3 hours and had a lot of fun.

Sounds super fun! Thanks, going to try it out!!!

I'm working on a small tool to reconcile resource associations that may be lost when exporting data out of one service and importing into another.

For example, if you want to transfer your stuff from Evernote into StandardNotes, you can export your note content as ENEX and use a conversion tool for it. https://dashboard.standardnotes.org/tools

Unfortunately neither export file nor the provided import tool handle Notebook info (StandardNotes doesn't have notebooks but it can approximated with tags).

So this tool creates some of that missing metadata that is extracted from the export service and is converted into a format that can understood by the import service.

I have a side project called Bukubrow. It's a WebExtension that plugs into Buku, a CLI bookmark manager.

I'm currently rewriting it in PureScript. It's hard to get pure functional programming's foot in the door at work - understandably, the business case against it is reasonable given our employee demographics (i.e. mostly Java devs) - so this is the next best way to learn.

I'm working on an RPG Card generator. It allows you to design a set of cards in a wysiwyg way and then print them out to do good old Dungeons&Dragons or whatever tickles your fancy. It's not usable yet but if this is interesting for you, you can track its progress here: https://github.com/nkoehring/rpg-cards-ng/
