What Hacker News says

2 sources
A few. 1. https://github.com/hamon-in/invoice - A command line invoicing system. I wrote this to handle invoicing for my freelancing and later my company. I wanted to build something similar to ledger-cli for invoices and use a single sqlite db for all things including config 2. https://github.com/nibrahim/Calligraphic-Rulings - I use this to generate rulings for my calligraphy practise and wrapped it up as a tiny web app. http://calligraffiti.in/rulings. The logs suggest that a lot of serious calligraphers use it for their day to day work. 3. https://github.com/nibrahim/Hyde - I wrote this to manage my blogs which were on Jekyll/Octopress 4. https://github.com/nibrahim/showkeys - I wrote this to allow display of keys on the screen while recording technical screencasts. I was recording a series on Emacs at the time 5. https://github.com/n
Read the rest
ibrahim/IOS-config-mode - I wrote this while working for Cisco to make editing of IOS config files easier for me. (abandoned) 6. https://github.com/nibrahim/tomobi - Something to convert websites into kindle files for reading offline (abandoned) There were a few others that never saw the light of day but these were the ones I wrote and still use/used. There are also several smaller shell scripts, makefiles, elisp snippets etc.
