What Hacker News says

built a couple of tools that I use very often: - zefaker[0] - a CLI for generating (random) data and exporting to SQL, Excel, CSV and JSON. Has helped in generation of test databases and test data for various scenarios. Much more convenient than a tool tied to a specific framework. Also gave me a chance to learn how to work with the Groovy script engine. - groupby[1] - A CLI tool to group files into directories, by year, month or even day. Originally started writing it in Rust but got annoyed when I kept losing fights against the Rust compiler/borrow-checker; eventually drove me to learn Go...

In Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?
I also rely on Markdown files and typically write very short content in each file, especially to help with my memory. I tried Google Keep, Evernote and at some point pain-stakingly migrated all the notes I had to Notion, but they are missing "something" I don't know yet so I regressed back to markdown files in a directory. I created a tool to automatically structure files into a directory tree based on file dates because of this: github.com/zikani03/groupby It is really great to see more attention given to this space. That and personal relationship management tools (e.g. Monica)
