erudite VS tlssh

Related: I command-line tool I wrote a while ago that pulls articles from Instapaper or Pocket and converts them to an ebook format (uses Calibre as the conversion tool).

(It even has Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)

A few that I've written to scratch my own itch or fill a need. Some of which I ended up sprucing up a bit and publishing publicly.

sitesync - Program that could sync files and folders on local file system and remote (FTP or SFTP). Mainly used to help maintain a web site that other people were also modifying. It allowed me to develop on my local copy and push changes without clobbering anything someone else had changed. (Unpublished)

erudite - [0] - Pull articles from Instapaper or Pocket and add to your ebook library (including Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)

bday - [1] - The super simple birthday and anniversary reminder program. Wrote for myself but several family members also like it. Originally on Windows and then ported to Linux as well.

moviesschedule - [2] - Tracks Australian movie release dates and can even maintain a Google calendar of the movies you are interested in.

coffeegrinder - Java program to help fold automation of coffeescript compilation to javascript. Included optional GUI for viewing javascript version updates whenever the .coffee file was saved. (Unpublished)

bom - A little web-site and FTP scraper to retrieve local weather info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. (Unpublished)

bgdicecalc - Little GUI program to easily figure out probabilities for various dice rolls in Backgammon. Want to convert this to a web-page some time. (Unpublished)

feedme - Web-site scraper to create RSS feeds of various comic strips (e.g. Dilbert) with the image directly in the feed. (Unpublished)

* My own RSS reader (not published. It will never be end-user friendly enough to compete with other ones. But it's better for me)

And then plenty more than I use occasionally, and some I no longer use. E.g. for a while I used my own SSH replacement, in order to get TPM-backed keys (https://github.com/ThomasHabets/tlssh). Nowadays I use yubikey instead (https://blog.habets.se/2016/01/Yubikey-4-for-SSH-with-physic...).

Those are just the main ones (as in not small, and used every day). I find myself fixing problems all the time by writing code.

A curious question. Aside from my day job, this seems like a thing I do all day. :-)

I'm not sure what the motivation for your question is. Do you feel like everything's been invented and built already, and it's just a matter of (at most) plugging the things together?

I find myself constantly thinking "this should exist". I don't have time to make them all exist.

Nothing like it existed at the time, and I wanted to send ARP requests as easily as sending ICMP ping.

I wanted to use a TPM chip for SSH client keys, and couldn't find anything like it.

I wanted to explore what it would be like to have SSH, but with identities not based on providing username, but an x509 cert. (and TPM chip protecting the key)
