I’ve been on a bit of a prototyping streak. I’ve made about 15 in the last month.
Instead of overthinking big projects, I’ve been focusing on small tools that solve a clear problem. Things people would actually use day to day.
It’s a way to keep learning, stay sharp, and see what resonates with people without sinking months into development.
Here are three I’m excited about right now:
1. Clocks Dash
A one-page dashboard to track time zones for remote teams or family. Each city shows as a big digital clock, with the background shifting between day and night. No logins, no friction — the browser remembers your setup, and you can even make it your start page.
2. Sticky Notes
Sometimes you don’t want a whole productivity system — you just want sticky notes on a screen. I built a simple embeddable notes tool that lets you do exactly that. Lightweight, visual, and flexible.
3. Tracker Widget
A GitHub-style activity tracker you can embed anywhere, powered by Google Sheets. It’s perfect for accountability streaks and side-project tracking, without writing a line of code.
Here’s an actual live embed:
Each of these started as an experiment, but I’ve found them useful too.
I’m not sure yet which one will grow into a “real” product. Maybe one, maybe none, maybe all three. For now, I just wanted to share what I’ve been tinkering with.
If any of them catch your eye, let me know. I’d love feedback on what feels most useful.
