Last year, I built two apps for myself since all the existing apps were either too bloated or privacy nightmares: Ebenezer (finances) and Livingston (travel). A pattern emerged: bespoke apps named after literary characters, which were now the mainstays of my browser window. I wondered: what if there was a dashboard for my life? My networth from Ebenezer. My upcoming trips from Livingston. And possibly more literary-character-themed apps? With a stack of R, AWS DynamoDb, S3, EC2, Plumber, ShinyProxy, Google Sheets and more, I built an infinitely extensible framework for my life: Hrafnagud (the all-seeing Odin). In this talk, I aim to share my journey, hacks and learnings and inspire and empower you to build things for yourself, too!
