Folk Tune Transposer
https://caseywatts.com/folktunetransposer
A ton folk music is written for instruments in the key of C, like fiddles and pianos. So many instruments are in other keys - like Clarinet and Trumpet are in the key of Bb, and French Horn is in the key of F. This tool I made makes it possible to transpose folk tunes on the fly to be playable by non-C instruments. It reads in music via “ABC” notation, which you can find on folk tune sites like http://www.folktunefinder.com.
DC Metro Map
https://caseywatts.com/dcmetromap
This “mobile app” keeps a copy of DC’s Metro Map offline for you to use while you’re underground without internet access. It’s not an app store app, but it looks like one. You do “add to home screen”, and it’s available as an app icon and it works offline! It’s using technology that makes it a “Progressive Web Application”.
CardSwipr
http://github.com/YaleSTC/cardswipr
Keeps track of who has attended an event, using their Yale ID card to swipe in. A small, simple application in Ruby on Rails. Interviewed every group on campus that had a similar system to see how this app might meet their needs. Worked with central ITS to expose [card-swipe ⇔ identity] as a web API.
