In #513787 @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears shared an article by Robert Sloan about a chat app he built exclusively for his family. The product Sloan made could scale, but some of the simplicity and scarceness would be lost. There's something really romantic about it.
A few folks shared their own home cooked apps in that thread:
- @rheedi0 built a MAC address triggered song to play for a colleague
- @elvismercury DOS'd his friends phone number
- @WeAreAllSatoshi made a companion app to play Clue
- @Signal312 hacked Notepad++ to replace online note taking apps
- I made my college girlfriend a bruise tracking app
- @south_korea_ln built a task manager
What's something you made only for yourself?
