At this point I've made a habit out of building homebrew tools and languages. Very few of these are purely because I was dissatisfied with off-the-shelf solutions; many of these just exist because I thought it would be fun/educational/challenging to build an X for myself from scratch.
I've made
- A dynamic programming language, Ink (https://dotink.co), which runs in "production" (for whatever that means for side projects) for around a dozen projects written in it.
- A bunch of language tooling around that language, like syntax highlighters, editor plugins, code formatters (for example, the code formatter https://github.com/thesephist/inkfmt)

- A compiler to compile that to JavaScript (https://github.com/thesephist/september)

- A small UI library (https://github.com/thesephist/torus)
- A suite of productivity tools (https://thesephist.com/posts/tools/) like notes, todos, shared whiteboard, contacts/CRM
- Twitter client (https://github.com/thesephist/lucerne/)
- Theres a few dozen more at (https://thesephist.com/projects/) :)
Many of these end up building on top of each other, so across the few dozen projects built on top of these tools they form a nice dependency graph -> https://twitter.com/thesephist/status/1367675987354251265
