Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
More than I can count, but here are the big ones:
http://moros.cc - A hobby operating system, with a shell, an editor, a lisp interpreter, and many other little things
https://geodate.org - A lunisolar calendar with decimal time (centidays and dimidays)
https://github.com/vinc/geodate - An implementation of the calendar + time
https://github.com/vinc/geocal - A tool to visualize the calendar + time
https://github.com/vinc/littlewing - A chess engine written in Rust (and another one before that in C++)
https://vinc.cc/software/ - A more complete list, on my personal website
I'm good at scratching my own itches but less good at finding projects that could be useful for other people.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
I wrote pq [1] (protobuf parser cli) at a company where I was told to "just use the tool another engineer wrote" which was in C++, in a really uncompileable/abandoned/unusable state
I wrote goat [2] (EBS disk attacher) at the same company on a solo project where I needed to create a "Kafka-cluster-IaC" recipe in Terraform and wanted us to be able to replace EC2 broker instances dynamically but preserve their data on the EBS volume

Podman: A Daemonless Container Engine
I have a Makefile for a Rust project which binds the local repository to a Docker volume, builds it in the container using muslrust, and then does a chown to change the target directory back from root ownership to my own user.
All I had to do was 's/docker/podman/g' and remove the chown hack and it works fine: https://github.com/sevagh/pq/commit/6acf6d05a094ac2959567a9a...
It understands Dockerfiles and can pull images from Dockerhub.
What are some alternatives?

dataplaneapi - HAProxy Data Plane API
oatmeal - Terminal UI to chat with large language models (LLM) using different model backends, and integrations with your favourite editors!
