Not the coolest, but a thing I've shared publicly that's whimsical and was fun to make.

A Super Mario Question Block (wood, brass, copper) https://wittman.org/blog/mario-question-block/

imgopt - shell script for image optimizing — just a convenience / batch processing wrapper more or less. Nothing earth-shattering, just really handy for me over the past year.

Not true - a phonegap-based app does not necessitate network permissions. I've even installed/used phonegap/cordova apps that require no permissions whatsoever. I've also published my own pg/cordova app on Play that and it doesn't require full network permissions.
