1. A personal dashboard that is gloriously incongruent, but solves almost every problem where I have to glance at my phone: my home and car battery charge levels, my failing github actions, planes overflying my house, medication tracking, Life360 integration so I can ensure my kids charge their phones, sports and finance tickers, birthdays, fuel prices, public transport, integration with my bathroom scale....the list goes on and on. It has ticker mode, card mode and alert mode and lets me add features via a Github and Claude API integration.
2. A shopping list app that allows me and my partner to coordinate on our shopping
3. A recipes app that includes AI scanning
4. A standalone home battery dashboard/app
5. A fuel prices app that is tailored for the closest fuel stations and is ad-free
6. A tool to draw classroom supervision maps for my partner (thrown away already, I didn't want adware/bloatware so I built it, she used it, then I threw it away)
7. A quiz website, cos the one I used to play on was overrun by ads.
8. A time tracker that I'll throw away at the end of the tax year
And more, and that's just what I did for making my life easier, there are other more "enterprisey" things I am working on. They're web apps that I add to my iphone desktop or run on otherwise junky old tablets or on TVs.
The point is that they do exactly what I want them to do instead of relying on downloaded apps that get me 80-90% of the way there, even if they'd be classified as "AI slop". I know enough about security and caching that they aren't full of holes and don't kill upstream, but I don't really care about the code, and it's literally easier for me to build something new than to go to Google or an app store to find software that's full of ads.
