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 built a website to track the generation of electricity in Spain since I couldn't find a single page from the official provider that contains all the information I wanted to look at at a glance. https://energy.antizone.site/ It scrapes different pieces of data at different intervals.

Very cool! Would be awesome to have something like this for more countries (maybe the entire European network)
