I run a little Rails app for myself. I end up putting some random things in it. Here's a partial list:
- My blog mailing list (Sendy) was having a bot signup problem. I wanted to deploy a captcha, but the mailing list software didn't support it. So, I put a simple proxy that validates the captcha before inserting the record to the software.
- Wanted a way to apply an email template to the Sendy mailing list, so I wrote a software that consumes my RSS feed, applies a template, and creates a draft in my mailing list software.
- Wrote a "Scoreboard" that aggregates MRR across Stripe accounts into a graph, and sends auto-emails to friends when I cross thresholds.
- Wrote a script that emails me when the HN "whoishiring" job goes live every month. (Simple crons like Zapier don't work)

There are a few other things in there, too.
