Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
Here are three hobby projects I've worked on during the last 2 years. I've written extensive guides for all of them:
https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-CNC-machine A CNC-machine I built from scratch, using 40x 3d-printed parts.
https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor.
https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch.

What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
When I set out to learn new skills, I usually try to wrap them in a project. I also try to document and open-source the whole process, both for my own learning, but to enable other to leverage my failures and learnings.
Here are the projects I've done so far:
https://github.com/maxvfischer/Arthur An AI art installation I built from scratch using a GAN network, Samsung The Frame, a button and a PIR-sensor (including, code, images and tutorial). The main draft is almost done, but quite some polishing to do.
https://github.com/maxvfischer/shibusa An automatic Zen Garden drawing infinite patterns in sand. Using stepper motors, inverse kinematics and a Raspberry Pi Zero W (including, code, images and tutorial). I'm almost done building the robot, but still have quite some implementation to do. Also, the guide is far from done, I've mostly uploaded images so far.
https://github.com/maxvfischer/DIY-arcade A full-size Arcade Machine I built from scratch (including, code, images and tutorial). I don't know where you draw the life of "half baked". It's done, but there's a lot of improvements that can be done.

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
semi-on-topic: I created Video Hub App that is like YouTube for local files: shows you a gallery with scrub-able (preview on hover) thumbnails. But does not work streaming videos to TV / tablet - only for local consumption. Hope someone finds it useful.

Generating Income from Open Source
I created Video Hub App which is MIT License
https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
I also sell it for $5 and have sold just over 5,000 copies last month (5 years old app). Importantly, $3.50 of every purchase goes to a cost-effective charity, GiveWell recommended Against Malaria Foundation (see website for details).

Python GUIs
"The problem" might be that people in this thread and others get frustrated because others have different goals than them.
Of course Electron is overkill for a single-button application. But Visual Basic is absolutely going to be a headache if you want a custom GUI.
Pick the tool that's right for the job!
I build this with Electron: https://videohubapp.com/

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Simplest File Renamer - https://www.yboris.dev/renamer & https://github.com/whyboris/Simplest-File-Renamer
I wanted to be able to quickly rename files with my text editor (using keyboard commands), so this lets me do it. Plus I share the app online for free.
Video Hub App - https://videohubapp.com/ & https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
I started it just for myself, but it ended up so good I spent several more years improving it as people kept buying it (up to almost 5,000 purchases since I started).
Also wrote a couple of dev tools for myself (sharing via NPM too) - https://www.yboris.dev/

I've been data hoarding for 25 years. I have a bajillion hobbies. It's hard to stay organized.
I created Video Hub App: https://videohubapp.com/ - it shows screenshots from videos as you scrub/hover across the thumbnail.
It's also open source: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

FFmpeg 6.0
I've been so frustrated that FFprobe functionality is not part of FFmpeg.
My app extracts screenshots from videos to create a beautiful gallery of videos. But even though I include FFmpeg already, I need a 50mb FFprobe executable to be bundled with my app just so that I can determine the width, height, duration, and fps of a video file! What is it that FFprobe does that FFmpeg couldn't do with a few extra pieces of exposed API?

Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
Created Video Hub App (that will be 5 years old next month). I sell it for $5 and $3.50 of each purchase goes to the cost-effective charity Against Malaria Foundation (See GiveWell.org for details).
It was averaging around 100 purchases per month, though it's lower over the last year as I've not had time to release new updates (moving to another state is challenging).
https://videohubapp.com/ - Think of it like YouTube for videos on your computer. Browse, search, and organize your videos

Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
Built Video Hub App that almost 5,000 people have purchased. I was a math teacher, became a web dev 6 years ago, built this 5 years ago. Most proceeds go to charity. Very minor by comparison to others, but I'm just starting out ;)
https://videohubapp.com/ && https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
What I did that is most impactful is that I've been giving at least 10% of my income to cost-effective charities for over 10 years now (see Giving What We Can - thousands of others do the same). This amounts to almost $100,000 given to charity which translates to thousands of people protected from malaria for many years of their lives.

Ask HN: What's a good business model for selling standalone software
My personal model for my commercial software: charityware - require a payment but made most proceeds go to my favorite (cost-effective) charity.
I'm getting about 100 purchases ($500/month, donating $350 of that) with my Video Hub App - https://videohubapp.com/ - which is also open source - https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
I wrote about charityware a few years ago: https://medium.com/@whyboris/charityware-doing-good-with-pro...
