I have the feeling I am creating one every two weeks. If you tolerate windows, C# is a great multi-purpose language to develop quickly tools across desktop GUI, CLI and websites.
A UI over ffmpeg to look into downloaded movies and add/remove/rename/change default tracks without recompressing (or re compressing certain tracks only). And to autorename files with imdb titles and ids. And another one to collect timestamp from videos to edit out segments. Or to merge videos, auto finding the best size, fps, etc.
Own mp3 player with ability to exclude songs, import files from different sources and sync playlists with itunes on windows through COM. (Had so many bad experiences with itunes that I don’t trust it as my reference for song data, ratings and playlists and only use it to sync iphones).
Various tools to edit and manipulate gpx (fix time zones mostly and apply gps to photos) or srt files.
All sort of web scrapers.
A nimbletext-like on which you can drop files
A home website that contains the downloadable imdb data to manage my movie library and suggest movies I don’t own already.
Music sorter to try new songs with fast keyboard shortcuts to fast forward/flag/discard. Same for photos.
Lots of CLI tools: CLI for my domain names (for instance to maintain a dyndns-like subdomain). My own ACME client for wildcard certs that also updates various softwares with the new certificate (IIS, mail server, will look into synology soon). Tool for wake-on-lan my devices. A tool to auto-update the other tools based on a central repository. Various commands to put in a powershell script to send notifications, update my own "dead man snitch" website. Watch new real estate transactions in my neighbourhood on land registry (UK).

- cm2187 5y agoDo you mean building a UI from powershell or some sort of UI wrapper for powershell?
