I mostly make small stuff for myself or to explore an idea or topic. Most recently I made a small CLI python app that moves my mouse to a specific area using cosine interpolation. The reason being I hate the youtube homepage's mouse-over autoplay "feature" and I found a spot on the homepage that will allow me to scroll through videos without having my mouse on a spot that will cause autoplay. So I made it so, if I'm moving my mouse, it just moves as I tell it. Once it's sitting, after a delay, it retracts the mouse like a pen at a bank. So I can explore as much as I want then, when I'm done exploring, it moves my mouse back! No more forgetting my mouse in a spot that causes autoplay.
It's small and simple but it makes my life better!
