Web Applications That Scratch My Itch

The consensus between the web development world is that great web application ideas come from solving your own problems. I don't disagree with that statement, one of my favorite web app that I worked on solve a very irritating problem of mine.

I want to make a post dedicated to all the applications I built either to learn a new framework or just something I build because a certain subject is on my mind. This is my way of trying to procrastinate while being somewhat productive.

Self Hosted Markdown Note Application

This is a markdown notes application that stores notes locally on your server and backups using git. My friend initially made another version of it here. I changed the UI and allow the user to change the title of the notes. My version is hosted here

Hotel Del Luna Inspired Application

After watching a Korean drama called Hotel Del Luna, I had serious withdrawls just missing the world of the drama. The main actress of the drama made an Instagram account just for her character. I made a simple web application that gives a slideshow of all the pictures on her instgram account. Hosted here

Pomodoro Timer

As I have been watching different streamers on Twitch, I realize some streamers set their notification settings to play a portion of a music video for a certain donation amount or subscriptions. I wanted to replicate the settings that's available for a pomodoro timer in which the video plays for 15 seconds. You can find the repo of the MVP here It is also hosted here

Uses

I've enjoy looking at other people's workspace setups to get inspiration to how to make my current WFH environment more productive. I had the idea of taking Wes Bos uses.tech and make a version of it that uses the API from usesthis. Here is a demo with the repo.

PS: I am working on deploying the live version of application mentioned in this post. This post will be updated as they go online. (I don't want to lose my post here)
