I'm curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don't know about everywhere

Web Video Caster is probably my most used app. It casts just about anything to just about anything. It's worked better than anything else on my Chromecast and when I've needed to connect to Roku.

It supports IPTV, playlist creation, bookmarks, watch history, recent played, resume from last position, and a ton more.

The dev has been great whenever I've reported bugs and has added a few requests over the years.

Too Good To Go has been awesome since I heard about it on How I Built This. It's designed to reduce food waste, but I think that makes it sound less appealing than it is.

Participating eateries estimate how much product they will have to throw out at the end of the day. It's not bad stuff, but stuff they made too much of. Instead of tossing it, they set it aside, and you come take it for pennies on the dollar. No extra work for them, cheap mystery box of eats for you.

We've tried many fancy local bakeries we couldn't really afford, tried new local pizza places, got some great frozen treats and an ice cream cake from the premium ice cream place, and some great Jamaican takeout from a place near my work that'd normally be out of the way.

We also stock up on bagels from the Manhattan Bagel. They're normally around a dollar each, but we get 15-18 for $5 and then we freeze them. Been doing that for months now, saving a ton of money. Sometimes we get misshapen ones, it flavors we don't really like, but we still come out way ahead, or we learn different ways to use things, like the salt bagels we didn't originally like.

Too good to go sounds like a wonderful idea that will shortly get ruined by businesses trying to cheat the system

In my rural area’s 50 mile radius, there are just gas stations with to-go bags. The gas stations are, at best, convenience stores.

I uninstalled the app after seeing it was just an advertising opportunity for those gas stations.
