I made a bunch of silly projects at first to help me manage daily life. For example, automating saving important emails based on prior history. Extracting text and putting it into csv files, downloading finance reports, reminder scripts, watchdog scripts. All the boring stuff pretty much what was done at first.
Now, i have gotten to point where i am replacing actual useful applications that I need to get stuff done. Plugs here: https://github.com/skittleson/mqtt_broker_esp and https://github.com/skittleson/WyzeBridge.
