I absolutely love this, and I do the same. Small programs and scripts to solve problems I encountered in my daily life. When I make them for my own use, and for myself to enjoy making something, I don't care about whether it's the best solution or the most elegant solution, as long as it's a solution! And I really, really enjoy that. I don't care if it's one or one hundred lines, as long as it's enjoyable!

A few of my examples are:

1. A PyQt GUI for redshift. I use this every day, and have been for a few years.

2. Userstyle for horizontally flipping a video. Sometimes a video or stream is mirrored, for some reason, and it's just nice to be able to fix it.

3. Userstyle for scaling videos that originally had an aspect ratio of 4:3, but have been stretched out into 16:9 back to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. It's surprising how often you come across those.

4. Userscript for improving the functionality of the investment portal of my bank.

5. Bookmarklet for opening all videos on the page in new tabs, but there are some problems with iframes yet.

6. Bookmarklet for setting playback speed of videos on the current page. I use this several times per day.
