One of the projects I’m personally proud of is called PIT – it’s a lightweight image viewer that runs in the terminal, written in C. It works even on old machines like Termux and renders .png/.jpg files using color ASCII blocks.

It doesn’t rely on GUI libraries — just raw SDL2 and optimized C code for low-resource environments.

If you’re curious, you can check out the demo folder too.

I would be happy to give you a star on the repository. :)

30 years of coding, and the project I have the best memories of wasn't even a big deal from a technical perspective. Today, it would be generated by AI and forgotten. But in 2002, ordering pizza online was a new thing. Being able to click the ingredients you wanted, having the pizza on-screen change its appearance to show those ingredients, even splitting the pizza in half to show different toppings on each half? And works on all browsers? in 2002? That was new.

It was still just a 1-2 hour project as I recall, part of a larger project when we were re-doing the Dominos web site. And one of the other guys in the office helped me on it, so it was not even a solo effort.

But what made it cool was for a decade or so, I was able to tell people that if they had ever ordered pizza online, odds are they have seen and used my work.

Love this question. My proudest project is a small but surprisingly useful CLI tool that automatically finds and closes stale Jira tickets for my team. Nothing flashy, but it’s saved us hours of manual tracking and actually got picked up by a couple of other teams.

I have two!

One is a webapp I wrote almost 20 years ago for my dad and it's still being used today. It runs on IIS and built with asp classic and vanilla html/css/js (no frameworks back then). They use it to track orders and invoices to suppliers/vendors and ensure what they receive is what they ordered.

The other, an electron-type app that saves people hundreds of hours per month by letting them bypass some bad UIs and interact with external services directly. It's been running for 6 years, only had to make very few updates, and it's the one thing I don't need monitoring for - not only it's been quite stable, I get called immediately if it breaks (eg when external services change their endpoints).

In 2023, we have seen a lot of AI directories popping up and lot of founders (including me) manually submitting their products on these platforms to gain traffic and foundational backlinks.

So we have launched Boringlaunch, a submission service that helps grow your online presence by submitting your product to 100+ platforms. It's perfect for new products that need more visibility and backlinks to improve their SEO and search rankings.

Our customers love it because it saves them from doing boring tasks and they can focus on real marketing.
