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.

One super niche project I made recently lets you search through dialogue in public domain films:

I made it so that I can quickly find vocal samples to use in music production.

You may already have a list of public domain movies, but I wrote a query to find the ones on Wikimedia Commons [1] :) WikiFlix [2] is a nicer interface for browsing them
