When I was in college I built an iOS app for my girlfriend to take and catalog pictures of her bruises, which was a weird request, but it was fun to build something with such a narrow, bizarre scope.
Many years ago, I made a website that I ran on a local server in my home to play the board game Clue. Instead of using the papers provided with the game to track your hints, cards revealed, guesses etc, you could track it on this webpage. The core game logic still happened IRL on the board. I thought it would be fun and also let us stop wasting papers.
