https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.

I ported my friend's programming language from Python to TypeScript[1], and its one of the projects I'm proud of. Another (scrapped) one would be my CLI Jed translation file editor, written in NodeJS. It was scrapped due to inefficiency and the lack of motivation to work on it.

The Logfile Navigator (https://lnav.org), a logfile viewer for the terminal. Started it in 2006 and have used it most every day since to view the logs of whatever software I was working on at the time.
