Ask HN: Are you building your own personal webapps?

3•viejaquerida•18h ago
My webapp has a goals section, shared calendar with my wife, expenses traking, calorific deficit, etc. Only my wife and I can login with our gmails. I can itirate ver fast. Are you guys doing something similar? What are you doing? No need to scale.

Dozens of them. The most useful in the house are the grocery list and the status-panel iPad. I wanted those tools but was always too busy, AI turned them both into one-evening projects. They are done and good-enough faster than I could evaluate the existing market offerings.

And some tools for my investing maths.

I built a few Python scripts for my blog - one that builds a links page and adds metadata for the links, and one that adds metadata to youtube embeds. I'm working on a booklist script and a game script that link to the Open Library API and itch.io api respectively. I've started playing with tkinter layouts for these but I honestly still find just using shell scripts easier.

And I'm not using AI for any of it. I know it's implied in your question that anyone answering would be, and it's sad that I have to make that qualifier because HN is so AI pilled.
