#1 Card matching game
Browser based game where you try to pick two matches cards. When the pandemic started, I played this a lot with my kids (they were better every time). Got tired of shuffling cards and laying it out and I wanted to learn Javascript, so.
My daughter had to learn spelling of a few words every week in Grade 2. To help her test it, I wrote a Windows desktop app that would say the word and she had to spell it.
I had too many tags that it became useless so I had to retag all my links in Pinboard, the website doesn't let you do it in bulk so I made a Windows desktop app (also wanted to try out XAML).
