All About Berlin, a few hundred guides about settling in Germany and navigating the bureaucracy there. It blows my mind that so many people know about the website, even here on HN. I've never been on the receiving end of so much goodwill before, and it's intoxicating.
My most useful project is arguably the Bürgeramt appointment finder, which makes a sound when it finds an appointment, saving the need to refresh the page every 3 minutes for hours.
My most used project is a simplified tax calculator. It was just meant to give people an idea of their take-home salary, but it became the most popular page on the website. I really need to keep improving it.
I just love working on this project, in large part because the readership is amazing and the work conditions are unbeatable. The only downside is the constant exposure to what is wrong with Germany.
