I have a few other small side projects that generally improve my day-to-day life, including a better calendar widget for shift workers and a video speed controller that floats on websites where I frequently watch videos for easy access.
I created a simple Hacker News Redesign extension to make my mobile browsing experience better (larger touch targets, prettier UI and texts). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/y-redesign-for-hacker-news/id6...
I made a widget that better shows my work shifts (I work nights and the default calendar app displays overnights as two days in the zoomed out monthly view, so this improves upon that and also counts how many shifts I've completed in a month while looking nice too). https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-shift-widget/id674063...
I wrote a simple MacOS app that lets me drag and drop screenshots then choose between a variety of "device frames" to create a consistent style and speed up my workflow.
And now I'm working on some plug-ins for open source apps that I use. Generally just doing small things to improve my workflow and enjoyment with my hobbies.

I work in the hospital and wanted a better calendar widget that let me: select only my work calendar, show the time until my next shift, and show how many shifts I have for the month. It's been useful to me, so I wanted to share it with everyone as a free widget on iOS.
I wanted a better looking and better functioning mobile experience for Hacker News, so I created my own as a Safari web extension.
The two main improvements are: (1) Larger touch targets for minimizing comments (faster reading) (2) Dark mode (automatic)
I'm an app developer expanding to iOS, so I also built this in order to test using App Store Connect. The name is a play on Y Combinator and also doubles as a joke about some people's opinions regarding redesigns. Open to feedback in the comments and I'll naturally be building this out as I use it daily. I figured that since I use this every day, someone else might find it useful!
