My father is a self-employed carpenter who has his own inventory in his backyard where he stores mostly wood that he receives from the companies that hire him. He has to keep track of how many items come, is used, taken back etc. He did this in excel which was true pain and there were no logs, so if errors were made it could not be tracked back. This Excel was only accessible on his laptop, so he couldn't access it in his workshop.
Some years ago for christmas I set up an application for him in C# where he could keep track of his items with logging included and even a webpage that syncs with the desktop app so he can access it from his phone wherever he is.
It is not a big or well written project, but it definitely works and it makes his life a lot more convenient. This was my first project I have delivered to a "client" and soon I plan to rewrite it with extra features!
