That's what always happens to me as well. I've attributed it to me only half-heartedly searching, because deep down I just want to write the tool.

Well, TBH, as an engineer, I hate to reinvent the wheel. I prefer to join and improve the existing concept with my own ideas to make it the synthesis of many peoples ideas

You might see on my github that I do that a lot, I'm being some sort of mercenary of FLOSS projects, as I patch wherever I see a bug or want a new feature without really caring about the "big plan"

Actually, I wrote the tool because deep down I just want to /use/ the tool.

Spindle already has some of the things on your TODO list, but seems only semi-maintained. It'd be awesome if you two could join forces!
