25 years ago I needed an app that would transliterate my writing in English to my native language (Nepali), as I did not know how to type in my native language (which I still don't). So I made a 1 person use transliterater. The fonts used for my native language then were mostly ascii fonts with typefaces changed to characters of Nepali. When unicode became more common, then an app that would change from those ascii fonts to unicode. Then I needed units converter as Nepal uses different units of measurement compared to metric as local levels. Hence unit converter for myself. Few more applications on the way, but most have been replaced by Google. In the last 4 years I have moved away from programming to being a full time farmer. Here I needed simple app that would take market data from past years to figure out when I would get the best price for a crop. Hence I made one for myself that would aid me make my crop calendar. Now working on a simple 1 person app for a crop calendar.
