It's fun to build simple stuff that work, but it's even more rewarding to build stuff you actually use every day. I made a simple expense tracker that will parse the SMS messages I get from the bank when paying for stuff, categorise based on merchant categories and push it to a google spreadsheet for traceability and visual charts. Good opportunity to play with building native images (it's done in java) in order to minimise resource usage as it's deployed in a 5$ digital ocean droplet. 10 years ago I've built a Swing app to generate invoices in a local compliant format. It was great to flexibility to customise everything.
