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.

Created a fuckup counter for my team on an old ipad. Inspired by the "x days with no accident" from the Simpsons, a webapp that shows in kiosk mode the number of days without a fuckup and a reset button.
