Ask HN: Tools you have built for yourself?
Over the years, I've written many apps and utilities for myself or others (that didn't end up get used). These are the interesting ones I remember. Many not quite complete/usable. Other than hackerer.news none of them are 'up' and running. Some have and others haven't been published as opensource.
- https://hackerer.news HN viewer (source[0]): I use daily so I can see today's top stories in reverse chronological order with mainstream topics sorted to the bottom.
- qwickly[1] keyboard layout: I use all the time as an easier to learn and more comfortable to type than Colemak/Tarmak
- safeql[2]: Java type-safe SQL expression composer that reduces constant expressions and eliminates N+1 queries loading associations by always operating on set relation or array of models.
- moja[3]: Composable computation pipelines for Java: Async, Lazy, Option, Try, Result, Multi (List), Stated, Reader, Logger, Writer.
- gitgrep.com[4] Opensource SaaS version of etsy/houndd (now called hound-search).
- statuspages.me: Status page aggregator with dynamic javascript for scraping each source using selector expressions.
- movies to watch aggregator: with links to sources to watch. It was hard then to get 3rd party deep links into streaming sites so included some torrent links. Got a DMCA phone call, so took it down. Combined thumbnails, summaries, actors(?), imdb ratings, links.
- java2cpp: Translate a moderately sized java app with test suite to c++, not 100% required final manual fixups.
- swift2java (or maybe it was java2swift, it's fuzzy now): translate Swift to Java obviously, using ANTLR4. Not 100% required final manual fixups.
- gui2log: to make an ASCII rendition of on-screen GUI widgets into an application log file when form submitted, so users couldn't complain that they saw X, but got Y.
- some basic stats/ML algorithms: k-nearest neighbour, RNN back-propagation, etc?
- Java in-memory DB: Small SQL-like memory tables with indexing/searching.
- wwwsqldesigner: This exists as opensource and I extended it to infer foreign key relationships based on naming conventions used in a MySQL schema. It was great for zooming around a large ERD.
- tracelog: combination of microservices parent/child span logging and generated high level events shown as a sequence diagram. Integrated with Loggly for full/verbose logs of selected high-level events.
- pcl2bmp downscaler: Reduce high resolution HP LaserJet (PCL5) printed to file to lower resolution bitmap pages for screen display (before retina DPI was common). It aimed to shrink same-color areas and preserve black/white transitions while reducing.

Show HN: Simple, readable, chronological front page items from Hacker News
HckrWeb is my heavily modified fork of HackerWeb[1] with data from hckr news[2].
I mashed together the simple, readable UI of HackerWeb with the chronological ordering from hckr news.
You can also share links to readable HN comments like this: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/23741256
