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've built two projects that I'm very happy with.

I'm still using livejournal.com social network nobody cares about today and when I was really into common lisp I decided to build a cli client to it. What makes it cool is that it's just markdown files locally and the client works almost like git, you can even pull and push posts. After I wrote it I was able to pull all my posts since 2007 or so from the service and have them locally as markdown files, any updates would be synced.

The other thing I've built mostly for my self is a notes taking service https://dabdab.org which allows to take notes the way I want it. What was cool about it was that I was able to almost reinvent django or rails but in go, so everything is fast, but still compile checks. From the product side I've managed to get to the same level of comfort one would get with github issues (markdown, image upload etc).

Both things have 1 user at the moment (me) do I think that counts :D

watched the video - had a few thoughts i thought id share instead of specific field (ie for pushups) why not a "tag" ? ie "Started doing pullups today, did <f>6</f> - not much, but i think with a daily practice, i could get to <f>20</f> by <fd>10-10-2025</fd>

and another, more cosmetical - to reduce visual clutter, i'd hide those "add fact | task" links, and only show them when hovering over the card.

also, dunno if you already have it - would have a "all tasks" view that would show me all tasks from all the messages.
