The idea is simple, you think of some tiny, one trick pony application or script that you'd like to have for whatever reason. You post your request here, and hopefully someone makes it. Thread 01 (requires archives) Thread 02 (requires archives) Making a Request: • Not all requests will be filled. Mostly because we're doing this for fun and your request might not be • "And it needs to run on my smartphone" may be a good way to get looked over; mobile app development is a specialty not everyone has • Consider a Freelancer or Bountysource if you are offering money for a completed request • Offering a Something Awful Gift Cert is encouraged Post #2 has an example template. Application guidelines: • Absolutely no exploitative code! No virii, no backdoors, etc • If at all possible provide the source code • You should use a reliable file hosting like google drive, github, or mediafire as opposed to your own site • A screenshot is highly encouraged Post #3 has an example template for filled requests. http://www.tinyappz.com/ is dead. I might try getting a replacement together but it probably won't be anything but a searchable collection of completed requests. Archived info: 4/20/2010 - Here's an archive of every app that was hosted on tinyappz.com. The wiki text is not included, since parsing it out of the database dump would be a huge pain, and I'm not going to put the dump online since it contains the email addresses of people who registered on the site.

Humble Request Problem: I need to crop 1,2, or 3, occasionally 4 or more images out of one large image. This can be done in paint with careful use of 'Save As...' but I want to process about 50x20 images a day. Not feasible by hand. http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/multicrop/ works on UNIX machines but I can't find any windows alternative outside of photoshop's 'Crop and Straighten Photos' which would also be super manual. Description and requirements: Windows executable or Javascript library that will accept a directory or single image file as an argument and process into however many images it can find. The images that I am working with don't need to be unrotated at all, they're level. Many images don't have whitespace on every side. Some just one image with lots of whitespace. Some images are only separated by a thin line. As little as 1-3 pixels. This seems to confuse photoshop's 'Crop and Straighten Photos' function. Nice to have features: delete the picture after processing. User defined inset amount (amount to trim off borders) Chunjee fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Looking at touching up some of my old small app request fills. But I'd really rather take a whack at something new. If I see something that I think I can do in about an hour, I'll usually see it through to some basic functionality even if it takes me three hours.

Request Fill Name: IdleDim Download link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/kctm67aw1543wzb/IdleDim.zip Source Code: in src folder Features and Usage: a file idledim_options.json controls "brightness" (0-128) and "idletime_mins" (The minutes to wait for 0 user input and dim. Default is 10 mins) Screenshot:  Works via SetDeviceGammaRamp (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd372194(v=vs.85).aspx) which I guess is a Windows setting. I don't think it communicates with the monitor itself. Will restore the original brightness setting upon detection of user input. May not restore brightness setting if the pc shuts down unexpectedly. Included "Reset Brightness" to bring Windows back to 100% brightness.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Problem: have excel list of movie library, all in one column in format: Movie (Year), like Return of the Jedi (1983). Want to add from IMDb into adjacent columns: director, top actors, synopsis, avg rating, number of raters. The input is your Excel/csv file and the output is what exactly? Do you prefer to add new movies with a GUI or just adding to Excel and re-running? Just thinking out loud: Should be doable with IMDB data, but user will need their own API key which I think is free. A quick google search tells me there are two other movie databases but similarly neither respond to anonymous requests. May as well use IMBD if that is the case. I think the way I would do it is; take Excel input, populate all the titles and rate limited fill them in depending on the API's rules. Maybe show a progressbar or simple GUI with all the titles filling with data, then export when done. Maybe store the discovered data for any future executions because I'm thinking things would get hairy if supplied a 1000 row excel.

Request Fill Name: SA-omdbcloner Download link: https://github.com/Chunjee/SA-omdbcloner/releases Source Code: https://github.com/Chunjee/SA-omdbcloner Features and Usage: Check settings and run the .exe It opens an Excel file and query titles found in Column A for data online at a rate of one per second. settings.json: - "key" must be generated from http://www.omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx - "excelfilename" defines the Excel file to use, it must be in the same directory as the .exe - "titlematchsimilaritythreshold" controls how closely the match must be before it'll be accepted for use in the Excel output. Including the (Year) in cloumn A should increase positive matches - "datapoints" specifies what data will be copied into Excel Caveats: The Excel file is not saved automatically, and must be done by the user once complete. Columns are not labeled automatically, but that wouldn't be too hard to add. Incorrect movie titles ("Mask" should be "The Mask") will not be corrected. Only searches movies. Screenshot:

I think the best way to get a match would be to ensure every movie has a year. But you can adjust the "titlematchsimilaritythreshold" to a higher number as well. Sadly the API doesn't provide it's own confidence indication on searches. If you can't seem to get some movies to match please post or PM them and I'll take a look. One thing that is I forgot to make clear; that API has a limit of 1,000 queries per day so it'll take at least 2 to fill your sheet. The script is not smart enough to stop but it will just stop editing the Excel when it stops getting valid data back.

French Canadian posted:Humble Request Request Fill Name: SA-rightclickrename Download link: https://github.com/Chunjee/SA-rightclickrename/releases Source Code: https://github.com/Chunjee/SA-rightclickrename Features and Usage: Basically you can define as many appendments as needed in settings.json, and those become options in the right click menu. This won't work at all in an underscore setup but I can fix that with more details. It depends on all file appendments being -[x] and will insert or replace any existing one before the file's extension. [basefilename]-[ammendment].[extension] Screenshot:  Caveats: Would probably have issues if you have more than one "-" in the filename In effort to keep my self-imposed 2 hour time limit, there was very little done to hide the GUI or turn it into a tray icon. When closed it will remove all right-click context menu options it added. I figured this was better than potentially stranding the user with no way to remove them.

Are the bandcamp urls documented anywhere in the file metadata or elsewhere? I have programmatically updated ID3 tags before so this would be cake if I can get a dependable source for the data. Trouble is: - The Bandcamp API doesn't say what it provides and access is also not freely available unless they decide they like you. - learning how to search each file with bandcamp-scraper would take me several hours and you would end up with a NodeJS app instead of an easy to use .exe But if you already know the bandcamp urls for each album this should be easy because I can just ping that page and get the data.

After thinking about it, I think it's possible; but would be pretty janky. If searching "8206" gets more than one result; that part may still need a human to click the right order, but a pause can smooth that over. The other big challenge I see is the "Choose File" dialogue. In my experience you can usually drag-drop a file directly onto those. Which makes me wonder, do you have a second monitor that could be utilized for leaving an explorer window navigated to the desktop with? Being basically a website, it would be a whole lot easier if the was an API to manage these orders with. Possibly related: https://cloud-elements.com/elements/netsuite/

Constructive idea: measure (in dollars) how much could be saved by adding a better batch process for the entire folder. 1 hour * times performed a month * compensation rate = [x] saved a month That's how I've been told to do it when I don't have the permissions to automate something. Personally "it sucks the way it works now" is reason enough for me but doesn't translate well to the rest of the business without specific $ signs attached.

I poked around on their site and didn't see an RSS feed. What gives. That would have negated the need for this as any podcast tool would fit perfectly. Ah well. From the way you've described this theoretical program, their site knows how to give you that block of airtime and it's not a prexisting mp3 file sitting in a folder?

I think it would take me a little over an hour, but could easily spiral. But is unique enough to be fun. Just a scratchpad of my approach idea: json file or straight txt for user definition of shows/downloads parse that poo poo generate all files to be downloaded and their final names skip if the file already exists download anything else (optional) save metadata of what's been downloaded for faster file skipping on next run.

Yes umm 99% ahk though. It does use an html library for the gui so you might call that javascript related. It makes heavy use of my lodash-clone package "biga.ahk" so the app is written in a js mindset. One thing I couldn't figure out yet myself is mapping the Enter key to press the Find button. gui/index.js would be the best place to fix this issue.
