I'm just wrapping up a macOS app to do perspective correction of images. It has a bunch of unique features, easy user interface along the lines of Numbers/Pages/Keynote, and a download size of only 1.1 MB.
Not as epic and big as most other projects here but I'm maintaining and expanding a discord bot that I built quite a while ago for a specific server. It's now fighting a LOT of spam. And it's doing quite well tbh.
i am building ageinx , https://ageinx.vercel.app , it is a simple secure hosted auth , frontend focused or someone who is starting development can get it done in literal 2 minutes because of simplicity. Still it is fast and good . It has no SDK just redirection and yeah NO MAU Tax and the first 15 users are getting 29$ Lifetime deal.

pxv, a simple image viewer inspired by John Bradley's (RIP) xv. https://github.com/linsomniac/pxv
I've been wanting to do this for years. I fully support (and have paid more than most into) John's shareware, but that means that I can't just "apt install" it, which means I rarely have it available on my various machines. Having something I can just "uv run" that keeps most of the same ergonomics would be a nice alternative.
Johnny Doyle and I are building https://syncra.ie to help companies right-size their property portfolios

Worked in a portfolio site for vibecoded projects: https://vibefolio.link
A small project but something that I'm happy about: Postgresql backed persistent queues crate for Rust.
I couldn't find any crate that would be ergonomic enough to use and provide features I deem essential, i.e. retryability, scheduling, poison job detection, barriers, backoff strategies etc.
it's an area I'm familiar with so after spending 2 days trying to integrate external libs I decided to roll my own and I'm quite happy how it turned out in 2 days of development.
I plan to open-source it in the near future but right now using it in my another project and it's running quite well.
I'm building a browser for designers: https://matry.design/
with the advent of modern LLM's, I was building a lot of small, shareable, static sites.
Games, utilities, calcultors (for whatever niche), and anything else where I wanted it accessible for me from anywhere, plus the poeple I want to share with (publicly or privately)..
So, I built this:
https://pagey.site
Simple static site hosting. Upload html or a zip-containing-html along with other needed files, and it gets hosted on a subdomain with full https. Optionally, password protect it, or generate shareable links. Also, detailed analytics and other stuff.
Im already hosting 16 small sites on it.. loving it.
