I wrote NerdCalci (https://github.com/vishaltelangre/NerdCalci), a free calculator app for Android.
Besides, I made a lot of automation scripts (mostly using Ruby) that run on my raspberry pi to fetch/parse/crunch things and notify me on my Android phone through a self-hosted https://ntfy.sh server.

> when MBA/MBP are consistently achieving 10-16+ with real-world use.
Really? I have a 2019 MBP and it doesn't last more than 3 hrs on 100% charge. The only usage is for the web development. And this is my third MBP (the old ones are dead because their magic boards became dead after the expiry of 1yr warranty + 2yr AppleCare plan).
The battery drains pretty quickly if I attach it to an external monitor.
Also, the evil `kernel_task` process eats up all CPU cores (for minutes and the machine remains unusable in the meantime) that drains the battery within an hour if I don't keep my table fan pointed at it (probably because Apple doesn't give a sh*t about the products they sell in India and their performance at 30-45 deg celsius temperature which is normal in Indian subcontinents).

I write about general programming stuff (but not active for a year now).
A little zine book on Consul I had written last year (it's free, btw) - https://vishaltelangre.com/books/consul.
Also, the site lists some fun projects I have written in my spare time (in many languages such as Rust, Swift, Elm, Elixir, Go, Ruby and JavaScript). For e.g. https://old-version.vishaltelangre.com has a REPL like interactive interface written in Elm; GitHub link can be found using one of the commands.

Messages app on iOS is the most frustrating app I have to use often and Apple doesn't allow any alternative as well. There is no way to star/pin certain messages in it. It doesn't allow copy-pasting partial text in a message. Results of searched query are often not what I am looking for. Finding historical messages in some date range takes minutes.
Many other Apple-built apps and products (especially those that cannot have any 3rd-party alternatives) are horrible to use.
