Yes and no. Yes, i mostly scratch my own itch. No, i also
develop stuff that has no benefit for me but is for others
who'd like to have this.

But yes, i don't do anything that could be sold (although
i plan to do start something in the next months that should
fill a market hole, but even that mostly scratches my own itch).
