2 tools built solo with Claude Code to scratch 2 itches. One runs on AI, the other doesnt (for now).

Any pro cycling fan will know how fragmented the live race broadcast scene is. You have to check multiple websites, some dodgy, to find the race coverage times and sources. A real PITA. Course du Jour (coursedujour.com) does that for me and tells me daily "which bike races are on TV today, and where can I legally watch them." data collecting is the whole problem: ~30 sources, 5 languages, inconsistent naming, breaking weekly, sites with factual errors, etc. So AI does the upkeep: scrapers are dumb fetchers, and Claude reads the daily "unmatched race" report and opens PRs proposing fixes.

Another thing I hate doing: copying and pasting a new contact’s information into Google Contacts one field at a time: first name, last name, company, jost, email, phone, etc. So I built ContactFile (contactfile.app): privacy-first, no AI, all in-browser, no backend . You paste a messy email signature or LinkedIn blurb, get clean contact fields, one-click file to Google Contacts or download a .vcf. Pure regex + heuristics.
