Interesting idea, but for me an app switcher needs to be super fast and switch between the apps I want without interrupting my thought process.

I've used an auto hotkey script for years that has served me perfectly. I press my shortcut modifier (the right Alt key) and then the letter of the app I want to switch to. For example, Right Alt + C will switch to my code editor VS Code. Right Alt + T will switch to MS Teams.

Repeating key presses will switch through all instances of that app so Right Alt + C, C, C will switch to the third open VS Code window.

The top row can be temporarily assigned to any open window for using on windows I have open that I'm switching to frequently but only while I have work in progress.

The scripts are at https://github.com/dattiimo/ahk-scripts for anyone interested.

I haven’t tried the app but love the randomness of being able to view the level of the piss tank on the ISS. We need more apps like this.

I absolutely agree!

While some people maybe have a bit of a tendency to treat programming and computing in general as Very Serious business and only really ever work on Very Serious projects, I'm obviously in the camp that encourages doing frivolous silly things for equally frivolous silly reasons.

And there really is something about the fact that it's not only feasible but downright trivial to bang out an application in an afternoon that reads realtime telemetry data from a frickin' space station's toilets, that's just… I don't know, delightful? Sort of amazing?

Love it! It's fun and simple. It would be great to have some kind of "start again" button to clear all the emoji and show new ones. Are the emoji selected randomly?

For sure! my son ended up learning how to refresh haha. Gonna push that soon. And yeah, emojis are randomized each session to foster discoverability

I built this into https://minicalendar.app (my pet project to learn Blazor). You can also measure the number of days between two events or activities.

A £3 custom mount board really makes a difference. I've built beautiful looking e-paper pictures using a basic IKEA frame and an custom cut mount from best4frames.

I was looking for the same as this. I wanted a yearly overview where the emphasis was on weeks so I could plan vacations and the school year. I ended up creating a pet project to do exactly this that may be of use to you. I’m interested in your thoughts? https://calii.tiimo.app/

That's awesome! I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for sharing.

My pet project is a web app that uses a similar view of the year https://calii.tiimo.app. I find the continuation of the months easier to comprehend time passing in a year.

I've been working on a simple calendar app[1]. It helps me plan annual leave/ school holidays and visualise the time between upcoming deadlines.

I started it just because I wanted to gain a deeper knowledge of the tech it is using (Blazor WASM) and I find building practical simple projects is great way of learning rather than building the traditional tutorial apps.

It might be useful to someone, who knows! Once I've tidied up the code I plan on sharing on GitHub.

I've been working on a simple calendar app too that is based on this layout. I find the layout cleaner and simpler to comprehend time passing over a year.
