What is the most useless project you have been working on?
I've done plenty of useless things in my career, and had more than my fair share of projects that ended up being shelved and never used, but, sometimes, I make useless things on purpose.

FontForge
Fontforge is the tool I used to create and what I use to maintain my 3270 font, https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.
It has that 1990's Unix workstation vibes, but, if I didn't like vintage tech, I wouldn't make a 3270 terminal font.

Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no
Is there a way to add programming ligatures to an existing font, similar to how Nerd Font patches existing fonts to add useful terminal glyphs like the Powerline symbols¹? I would love to have a ligatured version of that font https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
1) the last sentence of the article implies that the author of the article abhor them as much as programming ligatures. I don't understand why but preference in taste, color, esthetic are not objective, nor absolute, so I am not the one to judge him.

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
Being distributed with Debian and downstreams, 11 years old, with 1.5K stars and 60+ forks is, by far, my most popular open source thing. My biggest shame is that it's not software, but a font that mimics the look of IBM's 3278-2 terminals.
And, of course, it's the font I use for terminals on all my machines.

MonoLisa – A Font Designed for Developers
Sorry, but no IDE comes with a proper 3278-like font. Not even IBM's Developer for z/OS comes with one (they commissioned that other font called Plex... who would take seriously a font named after a media player?).
Luckily, everyone can get one at https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font.
