Most of my personal projects work this way. I build Timecard to keep track of how long I spent on tasks, dicebox for helping me make arbitrary decisions, and dkim_manage because I'm an incredibly lazy IT. I built the icon theme I always wanted to see, a script for working around my router's lack of a NAT loopback, and even a Minecraft datapack to add the features I wish existed. I use virtually all of these daily!

I still plan to build Elements, my dream music player, and Pestr, an alarm clock that actually works for me (which I'm going to build with a friend of mine).

The only trouble is, I never have enough time to build everything I want! (Still beats boredom.)
