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.

I wrote a silly Telegram bot for my group chats: https://github.com/database64128/CubicBot

It's mostly just some useless commands that say stupid things, and stats collection for earning "achievements" and displaying leaderboards.

The bot was written in C# and seriously over-engineered to be completely modular. Every command and stats collector can be turned on or off in config. A running instance with all features turned on is available as https://t.me/Cubic0Bot.
