moritzwolf··on Ask HN: Is there any software you only made for your own use but nobody else?
I built a map based software to organize and archive places I have visited and want to visit in the world. It includes routes (hikes, driving, cycling) and various markers for different spots. I use that to plan photography projects. I now have over 10k markers all over the world.

Previously this was a mess with multiple kml files and lots of dupes. Now it lives in MongoDB and has a clean interface using mapbox and vue. Probably spent 150+ hours on that, and do use it for all trip planning (photography and normal travels).

Its public but I never announced it anywhere. So only my wife and I use it, but it could be quite useful to others, I guess…

I also have some scripts for automating my tax reports. That saved me hours and only took a few to build.

Great move.

Some might argue that this bans some political views. And it does. It bans anti-democratic and anti-scientific views. Which is great. We don’t need another Hitler.

You can install uBlock in Safari from the AppStore. Works great for me.

I did not experience any inconvenience with putting apps into the iOS AppStore. Rather, I found the process quite easy and my apps got approved faster than expected (within one day).
