Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?
I've spent way too much time implementing a transpiler and bash like shell that makes programming my ships in Kerbal Space Program easier. The self-hosted version is almost done. I'd probably do it again though, way too much fun to see your spaceships autonomously do things.

Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?

https://github.com/bjesus/callibella is my way to sync my personal calendar to my work calendar without revealing my personal entries. It's very useful for me but less needed if your personal calendar is Google because i heard they have their own integration.
https://github.com/bjesus/air is my AwesomeWM based Interface to my PostmarketOS Kobo e-reader. Linux on your e-reader isn't a huge market share to begin with...

PostmarketOS 22.06 released – now upgrades are possible
To those who are curious - I've created a PostmarketOS / AwesomeWM based interface for e-readers, currently happily running it as a daily driver on my Kobo Clara HD. https://github.com/bjesus/air
