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 sentence summary of each top level comment here: https://github.com/afiodorov/notebooks/blob/main/2023_04_30_...

I wanted to read all the ideas but it became hard to read.

Thank you - hopefully it's not lost on you that this also actually qualifies as an entry in the list :-)

Glad you found it useful. Yes it should qualify and I wanted to make it a bit meta :). However I think https://thoughtful3.eth.limo is more interesting out of things I've built for myself. It's an onchain Twitter. I am currently using it as my personal microblog - however anyone could use it too if they wanted to to burn a few cents per post.

Really cool, only suggestion would be to put the comment id the summary instead of the number, as the comments aren’t in a predictable order

Hey! Updated to include the id. By the way there's also a committed json with all the data: https://github.com/afiodorov/notebooks/blob/main/ideas.json.
