thanks! It was inspired by @unoptimal.com

And finally - a gauge to measure my monthly credit card spending (via an API) against the amount I hope to spend in a month.

this gauge connects to two fitness trackers - yours and a friend's, and tells you who's currently ahead with daily steps. A sketchy implementation, but I'm competitive so I need this.

this gauge checks the news of the day via an API, analyzes the sentiment of each headline, averages the positive/negative scores and shows me if we are so over, or so back.

If any headline contains the word "mine" in it, the other one gets triggered.

This is at a glance where a family member is based on their location. It's a sketchy implementation so it's not fully functional (and requires them to install an app on their phone, so not ideal), but it's loosely based off the Weasley clock.

This one tells you what to wear at a glance based on the local weather. I often forget to bring an umbrella - so this one is a lifesaver.

This gauge shows you when you need to leave to make your next train/bus.

It has my average time from door to train stop programmed in, and uses GTFS-RT data to update. It was the first one I made.

Step goal definitely! I wanted to have one that I could compete with a friend to see who is ahead of each other in steps for the day

So cool how many times others have thought of similar ideas in parallel!

Every time you update this I somehow love this project more

Wait until they discover "let's get spooky"

the idea behind it is to be a little more vulnerable, take a few more risks, and document all the things that I'm proud of - win or loss. Highly recomend, I started doing it privately last year and it's great to look back on.
