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.

Maybe not the most interesting but a CLI utility that would do 2 things (gaming related):

* guess the gameserver tick rate based on network traffic patterns between game client/server (cs:go for example) and display it in grafana

* collect keyboard inputs while playing and display them as a heatmap on grafana

All of this for no real reason.
