Land that Dream Job!
Dream Job is a simple alerts API that scrapes the job listings of your favorite company/companies and sends an sms alert if the job you want becomes available.
It is configurable entirely via environment variables, so it is easily pointed to another site, without needing a deployment, if your dream job is no longer available.
This was also my first side project that was developed by strictly adhering to TDD. Test coverage never dropped below 100%

Source CodeCheck Out shURLy
A small Sinatra-based URL shortener that I made and deployed over a weekend. It helped me learn more about RESTful routing and a small bit about how URL shortening actually works.
I had to shut it down due to web hosting issues. There were also security concerns as the usage grew. I didn't want to be enabling bad actors on the 'net.
