Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

- Desktop app for creating a static blogs. Electron and React: https://www.project-daily.com

- Instagram-like, private photo feed, where my partner and me can share pictures of our kids with relatives and friends. Posting works via e-mail, cron job generates the feed html. Imagemagick output multiple image formats, supports iOS live photos too. The feed isn't paginated, but with lazy loading the images it's still very performant.

- Most recently and still ongoing: A recipe clean-up tool. Removes all the gunk and fluff from online recipes. Shows just the ingredients and instructions. Also understands units and quantities, so unit conversion is up next. Here it is: https://pretty-recip.es/recipe?recipe-url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww....
