I'm always excited at the prospect of building new or better tools that help me learn the way I want to learn. It's the best low-stakes way for me to learn - especially if I'm not being challenge by work or am just curious about how a programming language works or other set of tools.
My latest is a language learning application to help practice reading comprehension and vocabulary development. [1]
This is interesting. A year or two ago I tried creating my own web application [1] for cataloguing recipes. It involved creating a parser in Elm [2] that could handle JSON generated by org mode files (where I stored the recipes). It was far too convoluted - but it gave me some of the features that I wanted - simple pages with recipes, with hover-to-see-quantities, as well as a cooking timer. If I was to do it again, I might investigate using something like cooklang to see if I can get the same functionality out of it.
I built Firn[1] a static site generator for my org-mode oriented wiki[2]. I needed a system that could nicely handle publishing public information, and keeping private information private. In addition, I wanted something that accumulated my clocked time in org mode so that I could see how much I have worked on each project.
