I don't know if its my proudest, but certainly a recent one...I leveraged python and Bash/cli to automate content work... I'm proud of it because prior to that i had not coded any apps or even minor bash scripts in about 15 y

I've not used it, but have heard of Prestige ( https://github.com/sharat87/prestige ). It bills itself as "A text-based HTTP client in the browser. An interface-less Postman." I hope that helps!

To extend your wish: i wish i had a ton of cash to dump into development of matrix's 3 top most client apps (including Element)...to diversify things, and to ensure they compete with each other for improved UX...and of course to speed

Would that not be considered a meritocracy, then? That is: maybe not the best approach, but the best approach that most agrred to go along with...? As much of a fan as i am of the fediverse and especially ActivityPub, i'm sure there

By "successful", did you mean from a technical/engineering perspective, or do you mean that one software stack (and instances that use said software) has been able to attract more newbies?
