A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
He wanted a control monitor to fit under his screen and follow the angle and shape of his Stream Deck. He uses AI with reference photos to get the base shape, adjusts sizes after measuring with a caliper, printed a quick baseplate to test the fit, and fixed a 1mm clearance problem with the lock after more measuring.
He takes notes on both a Boox and a Samsung device and the two formats did not mix. He built an Android app with AI that converts both formats back and forth, so he can move his notes between them.
A Japanese learner who had used jisho.org for years hit a word its handwriting search could not match. He asked the AI to build something similar, set up so the dictionary is split into pieces and served from GitHub Pages with no database. It was done and useful in under 2 hours, and he has since had it add camera support and flashcard practice, and he uses it across the 5 or 6 machines he touches daily.
She uses AI as a side panel inside Chrome and it clicks on her screen for her. She says it takes ten minutes off her week.
He downloads all his lecture slides and feeds them into NotebookLM for an audio overview. A pipeline then transcribes the audio, has the AI write a timed spec, uses AI Design for the animations and the AI for the filler content, then renders and stitches everything into an hour long recap of the whole semester.
Saving his Bluesky threads as Markdown files for Obsidian was a chore he kept doing by hand. He asked the AI to build a converter, and the finished tool is up on his site for anyone to use.
He sketched out how he wanted image collages to lay out and prompted the AI to build a simple tool with sliders for overlap and offset. He used it to make the image stacks for his project, kept improving it, and released Stacks V2 in October 2026 for anyone to try.
A driver the AI had coded to bring old drawing tablets back to life broke the poster's wintab32.dll file, even though the app it was based on never touches that file. Fixing it took 5 hours.
He plugged his Liene PixCut S1 photo cutter into AI and now has his own editor and cutter software. It runs in the browser, it is completely free, and it needs no accounts.
AI agent populates and keeps updating home lab inventory and documentation in Netbox.
