+# Personal Tools
+Here are a bunch of small tools and fun things I made. They're not very big but I find them to be fun and useful.
+
+I've elected to localize all of these smaller tools into one singular place so that its easier to find these tools. (everything here will make its way onto READMEs eventually).

+
+## [wallpaper-sorter-hue](https://github.com/pinapelz/wallpaper-sorter-hue)
+A Python script to sort images by their hue. I used this to sort a bunch of wallpapers into different colors. It also comes with a visualizer that will use a random image from each hue/subhue to make a sort of rainbow.
+

+
+
+Install Pillow
+```
+pip install Pillow
+```
+
+Usage:
+```
+python sort-wallpaper.py -i path_to_pictures -o output_directory
+python visualizer.py -i path_to_sorted_wallpaper -o output_file_name.png -t 200
+```
+-t: The max height of each image in the output visualization
+
+## [mojibaka](https://github.com/pinapelz/mojibaka)
+This is a very simple static flask web app that attempts to resolve "mojibake". These are garbled characters that occur due to text being encoded/decoded in mismatching formats.
+
+While not everything can be recovered 100% of the time (since its a lossy process), sometimes these mismatches line up just right such that none (or nearly none) of the characters are mapped to NULL, meaning that its just a matter of "remapping" everything to make the text readable again.
+
+These days I still run into older Chinese/Japanese programs (specifically Windows installers) where the characters don't quite show up right. While you could troubleshoot fixing it, I find its handy to have a tool like this to quickly get the gist of whats happening.

+## [youtube-auto-stamp](https://github.com/pinapelz/youtube-auto-stamp)
+A CLI program that tracks the speed of a YouTube live chat and records down moments of high chat activity. It can also count income via Superchats as a side task.
+
+I originally made this to help automate the process of finding fun stream moments since those are usually the times when chat goes faster. However it turned out to also be a pretty decent way of finding chats with certain keywords LIVE.
+
+```
+YouTube Live Chat Message Rate Tracker
+
+positional arguments:
+  video_id              The ID of the YouTube video for the live chat
+
+options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --show-chat           Show the live chat in the terminal window
+  --superchats          Log superchat messages and amounts
+  --threshold THRESHOLD
+                        Log timestamps when the message rate exceeds this value (msg/s)
+  --keywords KEYWORDS   Log timestamps when a message contains any of these keywords. Enter keywords separated by commas
+  --cooldown COOLDOWN   Minimum time that must pass before another notable moment is logged (in seconds)
+
+Example: python yt_livechat_stats.py OoNndQzHMlI --show-chat --superchats --threshold 15 --cooldown 30
+```
+
+## [vstream-tracker](https://github.com/pinapelz/vstream-tracker)
+A self-hostable Discord bot for tracking VTubers listed on Holodex. Its very simple and was created as a demo of the JHolodex library. There's a quickstart guide on how to quickly get things up and running on the repo README already.

+## [youtube-timed-playlist](https://github.com/pinapelz/youtube-timed-playlist) - archived
+This web application helps you create a YouTube playlist where you can specify start and end times for each video. Use the `Maker` to create a playlist and get a playlist code in Base64. Then use the `Player` to play it back.

+
+## [ffxiv-macro-time-calculator](https://github.com/pinapelz/ffxiv-macro-time-calculator)
+This is a simple crafting calculator for the game Final Fantasy XIV. Weirdly enough, I couldn't find a easy way to count the total time a macro takes and how long crafting N items will take with that macro + how much food/tinctures will be required. 
+
+(I get that everyone uses more fancy Teamcraft stuff but having something like this is also pretty convenient)

+
+## [DiscordAutoReplyGPT](https://github.com/pinapelz/DiscordAutoReplyGPT)
+This is a Python + JS program that is able to automatically reply to Discord messages with the help of BetterDiscord. The BetterDiscord plugin fires messages via websocket to a locally running Python script which then generated a reply and sends the reply for you.
+ 
+Check out the README on the repo for more details.
