I'm working on https://www.OnetimeFax.com - it's a way to send and receive faxes for a flat fee without needing to subscribe to anything.
Version 1 was a script I wrote for myself to fax the courts a jury duty deferral during covid lockdown, and then during my parental leave I productized it.

Wow, thanks for making it so easy for me to know who to call and what to say. They answered the phone in 1 second (seriously), I told them what I wanted to say, and they recorded my name and that was it.

At a previous job they refused to give me database access and instead insisted I ask them whenever I needed any columns added/altered, however I did have access to the code to do my job and...mysql root credentials were committed to the repo.
To keep the charade up I sent one of every 20 requests to them to do for me.

I watch some running race registration sites with Zapier and when it tells me that they are open I go register immediately so I can have a low bib number.

Postgres, PHP w/ Slim Framework, Python w/ Django, React, Redis, AWS.
This is a combination of things I'm most familiar with and things I'd build shit in if not for the fact that other devs at my company aren't familiar with it. i.e. We use MySQL everywhere, so I can't just spin up a new project using Postgres for the sake of consistency.

It's a cool project, I just wish its capabilities weren't being misrepresented like this. It's currently just sumy, tokenization, and summarization. Like got2surf said, you'll benefit greatly from lemmatization.
