    1. 30 single-file tools that run offline and never upload your data (free to use in browser)
    2. Want your browser to look this good? I built CentralTab, a new tab browser extension, because the most popular one charges you for almost everything, like using your own photo :O Mine is free, no account, loads instantly
    3. I built a Chrome extension to answer “where the hell did my money go?” — now tracking 8 platforms

    1. Would you actually use this or should I just keep it for friends and family? Calendars tell you when an event starts, but they don't help you prepare for the actual event. I built a tool to fix that.
