List of dummy projects that might be cool
emacs integration with google sheets
So that I can read and write google sheets budgets easily from within emacs.
A diagram visualizer that generates code
For instance, you draw a state diagram like you would using drawing tools on Figma. You can specify the starting node and provide logic and arrows on next steps, and what evaluations will happen at each step.
Then, it will generate a code (like Python, Java, C) template for whatever is drawn.
Lists app
very simple, just have a web app and iphone app that stores lists that you can add to. Could also add some functionality where you text someone a list, or you schedule the list to be texted to you
Can be sign up using phone number to text and verify to sign in. That way, no need for 2FA or OAuth.
BTC trading library
dunno if this already exists, but maybe create some sort of library where people can essentially connect to the BTC network and make trades/transactions. not sure how it would work / whether this is something that's doable.
Control lists, calendar, etc. from terminal
Similar to the lists app. But basically have like API/terminal support.
Like a program that will update calendar and give me tldr. For instance, I'm going to someone's house tomorrow and another a few days from now. I should be able to
when copying on emacs, be able to neatly paste outside
especially with that fill-column and indents etc.
Use LLM to summarize work related notes
Have LLM go over my daily/weeklies and suggest bullet points to post to a wiki or personal internal website.
Have an automation that auto-updates my work links doc so that I don't have to myself
pretty simple.
Can have a list of integrations:
- every time I create a quip
- every time I create a CR revision
- every time I create a SIM
LED matrix visualizer as a digital clock
time, weather, stock tickers, game scores, etc.
Ideally, it would be nice to test such a thing on an emulator.
And as an added bonus it would be cool to set it up such that I could control it from my phone.
Copy paste
They should make some kind of shortcut where you can copy paste multiple things at a time, like in a queue style. So I copy link A, then copy link B, then paste link A, paste link B
this would come in super handy for me cus I frequently send messages / write comments on tickets that contain multiple links and I have to navigate back and forth to get all the links in
Password typing
We make a software that detects the rhythm of your keystrokes when you enter a password. And then we add that as a security measure, so if you type ur password but do it super slowly then you won’t get in. This makes it tougher for hackers who have ur password to get in, cus they’d also need to type it just the way that you type your own password
Can start out as it has to be within +/- 5% of the time you normally take to enter your password.
But then it can have a detection system that sees if it aligns with the rhythm that you normally enter your password in.
Portfolio performance tracker
for appa
gotta write out some requirements.
it can be our little bloomberg terminal
Auto-website publisher
writes blog posts and publishes on the fly
Financial assistant
when I ask siri what's my finance report for the month, it will be able to tell me where my spending is at. and the category breakdowns.
P1: I can ask to exclude certain from the month's spending. Can also ask to create a "project" or "trip" that it knows to add to.
Voice notes in room
Automatic finance tracker
I want to know where I am on spending for the month.
