Pet Project Showcase Thread
I’m sure everyone of you has one or more pet projects?
Maybe a hobby site, or something created just for learning, or…
But you feel it’s too small for starting an own thread? Then post it here 
I think even the smallest projects can be interesting, so please tell me what and why you did, and what you learned while doing it 
I’m starting by example:
Some years ago I started homebrewing, mainly mead (honeywine), but also some beer. Before brewing, one needs to know the amount of ingrediences, which I usually calculated in an excel sheet.
But as I really wanted to try Phoenix LiveView, I made a small online calculator which features live update of the result and input validation. Also it was the first time i did i18n with Gettext.
I’ts online here: http://brauzwerg.ch

In my first Phoenix learning days I’ve built Lamparole, a tachistoscope for Italian words (a tachistoscope is an instrument used for exposing objects to the eye for a very brief measured period of time). The user choose the difficulty level by selecting word’s length, syllabic composition, the exposition time and interval between the words. Then a given number of random words for the selected settings are displayed sequentially, picked randomly from a self curated db of about 5000 words.
I did this as a working tool for Italian logopedists (my sister is one of them).
(I’ve been amused to see this word, while taking screenshots… so I decided to show that too )
This was well before LiveView, so the words-exposition view is produced just with basic client-side JS. It could be a nice exercise to integrate LiveView in it. Thank you for letting me remind about it!
P.S. Lamparole is online here: http://lamparole.codestep.it

My pet project is roastidious
It is a place anyone can post random comment (roast) about any URL semi-anonymously. You can also use it as a commenting platform for your static blog. Better privacy and less annoying than disqus for sure.
It is done in plain phoenix; I am not using live view or any real time features for now.
