replaced some paid apps with local - google reader rss replacement and send web to kindle.

most ambitious was browser extension to automate booking reservations since captcha and timing were critical.

swamp/evaporative cooler controller that monitors rate of change of relative humidity and sends RF signal to cooler to turn water on for x seconds to keep humidity lower than just leaving set to cool all the time. Does a great job but need to work on edge cases and ultimately replacing remote with my controller.

financial models for retirement planning

pen plotter gcode creator for old 3d printer to make labels.

food monitor to track what i ate with AI analysis based on symptoms recorded as well as interactive follow up questions

inventory app for electronic parts that now is inventory for all kinds of stuff like tools/plumbing etc that uses photo/ai to fill in data.

Intermittent fasting + eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper worked miracles for me.

Ah another nice feature would be blank out game until you hit start and cant reset timer. I like to compete with friends and resetting time makes it so you cant compete.

cool idea. not seeing all tiles available at once is kinda pita as it makes it harder to come up with word choices.

Funny, i created an extension that does does something similar. I wanted to watch specific products at a grocery store that go on sale and look for the pattern. It opens page that has been flagged to watch and extracts data and then charts results for various things i want to track. It was more of a POC which has lead to some other data scraping apps i wanted. I am not a developer but know enough having worked around tech for awhile i can usually figure something out. claude has been amazing for me, especially since i can ask questions about its code/logic and learn as we go.

How do you manage?
