I was annoyed at editing the packages.el file to unpin and disable things. I didn’t even know I could add :disable t to disable a package. I thought I had to comment it out or wrap it in when nil.
I made a package that adds subtle buttons to whatever line the mouse is on. One button toggles between pinned i.e. package! or unpinned i.e. unpin!. The other button toggles enabled or disabled i.e. :disable t.

I was annoyed by prefixing everything with a long package name. I made a package that makes it easy to add to read-symbol-shorthands.

I didn’t want the full text of the major mode in the doom modeline so I made a doom modeline segment with just the major mode icon.
I didn’t want to be surprised that a file isn’t in vcs when i thought it was or be surprised that the file had uncommited changes when i thought it was commited.(propertized-text-to-svg
