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.

Depends what you mean by "for myself".

For practicality: I wrote a flashcard app to use on the tube to help me learn French. I wanted a couple of things specifically: - it should be super simple to use on a mobile device - it should be trivial to add a new flashcard on the fly - it should prioritise flashcards I've got wrong more than I've got right - it should work offline, pushing back to the server once there's a connection again Code: https://github.com/alex-moon/clin

For fun: I wrote an app that tied a bunch of machine vision ML repos together to generate "explorable dream worlds" in the form of short HD videos. I wanted a simple, fun interface that would let me specify a schema/config for the next video, then hit "go" and watch it generate over the course of however many hours, including previewing what we had so far.
