Ask HN: Recommendations for blog posts about successful side projects?

Sometimes, when I'm trying to get motivated to work on my own side project, I'll read blog posts by other people who finished a project and are recapping what they did. You know, the "here's my side project and how I did it" posts. As an example, I read this one recently from a guy who got vim to work with a mechanical typewriter: http://qqrs.github.io/blog/2013/05/03/vim-on-a-mechanical-typewriter/

This is one of those times I could use that motivation. Anyone seen good posts recapping side projects recently?
