  I measure the wait times at the Berlin immigration office. This makes the residence permit application process a lot more predictable.

  It's not super complex. A Django backend and a VueJS frontend. The small innovation is using localstorage to save a modification key, so that people can update their existing feedback without dealing with emails and logins. I also email people a reminder to update their feedback after 2 and 6 months, since people tend to forget to do that.

  It's working pretty well. We gathered more feedback in a month than we'd normally do in a year or two. It's immensely useful in support to my residence permit application guides.

  Not a tech project, but I've been writing about research in economics, philosophy, and math/logic from 100, 150, and 200 years ago. It's been a rewarding experience and helps build context around the typical canon in various fields.

  I've shared ScreenMemory [0] before, but I just released a 2.0 redesign so why not. It records your (macOS) screen and gives a calendar / timeline to explore. You can then revisit what you did. I use it daily and mainly to go through my day before standups, it's incredibly how much side-tracking I do and completely forget each day.

  Tech is quite simple, all native frameworks from Apple. OCR included!
