Problems I had.Apps I made.
When something annoys me enough, I build the small thing that fixes it. Desktop apps, command-line tools, and more on the way. Every page says up front what the app is, what it costs and what it needs.

What keeps annoying you?
The small, stupid, daily kind: the thing you have worked around so many times you stopped noticing. Those make the best apps. Tell me yours and it might become the next one.
