All the time. Most recent was a little node app to quickly create Google Meet meeting links. For example when using MacOS Calendar and wanting to schedule in a video call. There isn’t an official Google Meet API so you have to create a Google Calendar event via the API and then add the meeting to that.

This was wrapped in a MacOS Automator workflow, which in turn was wrapped by a keyboard trigger in BetterTouchTool. So now, when I hit Cmd Shift M, a Google Meeting link is created and pasted wherever my cursor happens to be!

It makes a little boing noise too when it pastes the URL which never ceases to please me.
