There are many tiny scripts I use at work to manage things. Mostly bookkeeping stuff like utilities to manage Jira, scripts that create text files as per a predefined template for meetings etc.

I'm the only one who uses it because these are tailored for my own specific use case, but if anybody from work asks I'm willing to share.

If I knew how to use Emacs, then maybe I wouldn't have needed some of these scripts.

I have a huge list of movies I want to watch or have watched, and I like keeping track of those.

For the longest time I used Google Keep, but that couldn't keep track of dates when I added to the list or watched something off the list. And I liked my list to be sorted alphabetically and have it show the counts of watched and total etc.

Tonnes of apps and websites already do this. Or I could have probably built a spreadsheet file that does this. But I felt like rolling my own.

I built a simple webapp using Laravel and a little bit of Bootstrap to make the site look decent. Did it in one day during the less than a week of gap between resigning one job and joining another. Building it was therapeutic. I even bought a domain and hosted it on a DigitalOcean droplet. It's been up for over two years now.

There's nothing fancy about it. It really is just a glorified todo list. But I like the simplicity of it and I've been using it to keep track of movies to watch over the past two years.

I never had any intention of trying to promote it or anything. Initially I planned to share it with a few friends, but then I didn't. No reason.

So it's just out there in the web. In broad daylight. Anybody can sign up for it. Nobody has. Nobody knows. Hidden in plain sight. Just like me ;)
