Project Ideas

Software

💿 PDF template population tool

Use Typst and get data from various sources: .txt, SQL, .xlsx, etc. Replace %%namedParams%% in referenced Typst template with pre-defined key-value pairs from source document.

Could be called something like pdEffable or pdEffective?

💿 Cloudflare web app

To learn how to write a web app. Can be a simple tool to log and store a collection of quotes that I've come across. With search functionality.

Could instead be an app to save webpages that I've liked and want to archive. It could even be a browser extension on top of that.

💿 Personal Archive System

Inspired by this blog post (as brought to my attention by this post) and Stephen Wolfram's system.

Make everything searchable:

• Photos
• emails
• saved websites
• daily notes - create workflow
• locations?

How to consolidate all files on phone with those on PC? What's automatically added and what's manually needed to be archived? Where all stored? Backed up?

💿 Plain Text Recipes

A community sourced recipe site. Because reading someone's life story shouldn't be a prerequisite to baking a croissant. This website's theme will be the sort of vibe I'm going for.

💿 2FA code generator

See this site which briefly explains the concept.
