inmytime.zone VS yadm

I made a few things for my personal use that are used often that I'm quite pleased with, in no particular order:

1. Wallpaper adhesive (https://github.com/jacobmischka/wallpaper-adhesive), an electron app I made ages ago when electron was still relatively new that creates spanned wallpapers for multimonitor setups based on your displays' resolutions. I use it every time I change my wallpapers, every month or so.

2. ics-merger (https://github.com/jacobmischka/ics-merger), a suite of tools including a webapp to merge separate calendar feeds together into a grouped feed, with possible subgroups. One can navigate through the subgroups, see event details, and subscribe to a merged feed, among other similar things. I made it for work, where it's used as the master departmental calendar feed.

3. Tea whistle (https://github.com/jacobmischka/tea-whistle), my second simple microcontroller project I made for my mother for her birthday because her teapot doesn't have a whistle so she kept accidentally boiling it over. It just polls the attached thermometer and beeps when the temperature is over boiling. She uses it every day and says she hasn't boiled it over once since!

4. inmytime.zone (https://github.com/jacobmischka/inmytime.zone), a simple webapp that allows you to create a URL that converts the time you give it into the local timezone of whoever is viewing it. It's effectively just a clone of https://everytimezone.com/ or one of the many other similar tools, but much less busy and without ads. I let the domain expire a few months ago, so it's not currently available, but I just renewed it so it should be again once the domain servers propagate.

5. Gym notebook (https://github.com/jacobmischka/gym_notebook), a flutter app I made when flutter was still quite new to track my workouts using firebase for storage. It's quite rough around the edges, fetches data from the network way more often than necessary, and needs a few bugfixes and could use a bit of work, but it's still good enough for me to use it 4-5 times per week.

Everyone hand-rolls their own dotfile management system, but YADM already does everything you need:

https://yadm.io/

I've been working around this using tools built on top of git like [yadm](https://github.com/TheLocehiliosan/yadm) and relying on `ls-files` to list all my tracked dotfiles and their paths.

Still having everything in one place would make things much simpler. Great idea!

I wonder if the program i use to manage my dotfiles could help manage your scripts and extend your setup to all your desktops? Its called yadm (https://yadm.io/) it makes it so easy to have a laptop and a desktop or two.

I really like that one but still prefer yadm because you can just edit your files as usual and then yadm add them wherever you are.

If you haven’t already, this is the time to install a tool like yadm and get your computer configuration into version control. Your command-line tools can be managed by yadm directly, your system settings can mostly be managed with a yadm bootstrap script that runs things like defaults write, and the software you install can be managed with a Brewfile that the yadm bootstrap script uses to install software with Homebrew. Don’t manually download Xcode, use xcodes to do it.

I personally use YADM. It's basically a git repo on my home folder, that only tracks what I explicitly set. And you can setup bootstraps to do what you said, install a bunch of stuff or make custom changes. In it's essence, it's a set of bash/sh files that are executed sequentially when you launch the yadm bootstrap command.
