I thin a lot of us have this issues, especially on side projects. At work therre are expectations, jira tickets and so on, keeping you shipping. I think there is something to be said about getting that quick and dirty POC to the right group of people early for feedback before you add redis caching, kubernetes, auto scaling, disruption budget, distributed nodes, high availability, backups, disaster recovery. At work you kinda have to have the right person to shoot ideas by that can understand that you probably need some of these complex things for your app and it will take time to get right.

robinroy03/videoeditor: Video Editor Applicat ...
https://github.com/robinroy03/videoeditorI would love to have a browser based video editor I could throw on a server and do quick edits from anywhere. I tried to get this one to work and struggled to get front end to send api requets to backend. I think the root of it was their redis wants to run on 80, this caused a permission error so I tried to run 8880:80, but redis was still unable to start due to a config permission error.

daily challenge leaderboard | typ.ing
https://typ.ing/stats/daily-challengetyp.ing is like monkeytype to a degree. it's made by ZSA, who makes my keyboard, and I love the idea of a simple training tool for getting fluent with my board and keymaps. The daily challenge is a nice little way to earn some internet points, and although I missed a day recently I want to stay consistent with it each morning... someday I'll hit 130 99% accuracy

Taming file zoos: Data science with DuckDB da ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq-hxgysWLQThe ability to query s3 buckets so seamless looks like such a pleasure to work with if you have a use case for that. Kedro catalog takes care of this most of the time for me, but I wonder if there are some cross project searching use cases I might find for this.

News - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/newsI just started using FreshRSS to get familiar with subscribing to RSS feeds and leaning into that as opposed to social media... Twitter has become basically just a news outlet for me, not a place to connect with devs (except for 2 or 3 who are active). RSS seems like such cool and ancient technology that is protected from the corporate tentacles that hold up every social media outlet save for nostr...
So as I look for an RSS reader and/or feed aggregator this Nextcloud plugin seems like a good choice to look at since I'm already hosting NC.. although do I really want to lean into it for more and more?

ELEMENT.FM - unlimited podcast hosting
https://element.fm/I heard about element.fm as a possible self-hosted podcast solution. They also have a service that looks pretty nice and reasonable. As I help Cameron with Pilgrim's Creek this might be a platform we lean into

PocketCal Build Log
https://cassidoo.co/post/pocketcal-build-log/I love this idea of tiny useful apps for yourself. In fact I'm working on a project to built out [[ tinyapps ]] for myself to replace my common needs. I absolutely love that all of the state is stored in the url bar, nothing is stored server side. As much as I love to hate js, I really appreciate that things like this can be built to just live on the web, be accessible from anywhere, and live practically forever as they require such little hosting demand.

numtide/treefmt: one CLI to format your repo ...
https://github.com/numtide/treefmtThis looks like a very useful formatting tool to keep in the back of my mind. I do a lot of python and our tool tends to be pre-commit, named after the git hook pre-commit. It specifies a bunch of tools to run, you can run them in ci, manually, and opt into doing it before commit. I like the simplicity of this one not needing a whole ecosystem, but rather just leveraging the cli commands from those tools. This would probably be something that would get in the way of setup for new devs and not something I would throw on one project by itself, its another thing for everyone to figure out how to install and run on every platform, I'm sure its not hard, but being on python teams pre-commit just fits in.
