I've had a rather uncreative year, and I'd love some inspiration going into 2020. Please share your side projects/businesses/hobbies, ideally with links and traction numbers. :-) Have a lovely new year!

Verbly (https://verbly.3digit.dev/) -- Simple app for practicing Italian verb conjugations in various ways
Sw/Sh Pokedex (https://dex.3digit.dev/) -- Easy little app for type matchup information and party-planning for the new Pokemon Sword/Shield

#6I built a new web application front-end to an old warehouse inventory tracking and catalog management system for a very large corporation everyone is familiar with. But thanks to the contracting arrangement, I can't talk about it. Makes it tough to attract new clients.
I made some enhancements in 2019 to my Hacker News reader (https://webbindustries.com/hackernews), but who hasn't made one of those.

#7This year I've been super productive with Elm and built a few things for the community:
Elm Resources (https://wolfadex.github.io/elm-resources) - opinionated list of tutorials and tools for Elm
elm-license-finder (https://github.com/wolfadex/elm-license-finder) - tool for listing elm dependencies
elm-text-adventure (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/wolfadex/elm-text-adve...) - package for building text adventures in Elm
Grove (https://github.com/wolfadex/grove) - WIP GUI tool for management of Elm projects
Slime Buddy (https://slime-buddy.netlify.com) - A little slime pal that you can take care of (re-wrote it from JS to Elm)
And I have 2 other projects that aren't quite ready to show. Maybe I'll have something for 1 of them before the 1st?

Looked around and clicked the tag that had a few thousand users (because everything else was a hundred or less) and the few near me were bizarre NSFW shock value profiles. Is that normal for this?

#9Construpdate (http://construpdate.com/): Project management synchronization for construction teams.
Project managers import a project schedule from Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project via Excel. Each contractor gets a personalized link where they can submit daily updates on the status of their tasks. All changes are tracked for auditing purposes.
It's a work in progress, comments and suggestions are welcome!
