#12For the last three years, I've been working on https://onlineornot.com
It's uptime monitoring (and status pages) for software teams.
In my words, the aim is "monitoring that doesn't suck" - I've worked at companies with proactive monitoring like OnlineOrNot before, and was surprised how little the incumbents are innovating in the space. One customer once told me "f*k , all their system ever did was alert us when we weren't down".
I'm currently working on a self-documenting (OpenAPI, rolled it myself: https://developers.onlineornot.com/) API that'll let folks use terraform (or even just the API itself) to setup their uptime checks, cron job monitoring, status pages, even their teams.

#14A privacy-first personal finance stack, with free and SaaS versions, with "power user" developer-friendly data analysis. No ads, no data sale, E2E encryption, localhost option, basic budgetting and transaction parsing, but for power users allows spinning up a jupyter notebook to play with your financial data.
How would a privacy first SaaS with a localhost option work from both business and technical perspectives?

#15Video Hub App - shows many screenshots per video of all videos from a directory as a pretty gallery. Thumbnails you can scrub through, filmstrips you can scroll through; tons of filters and search options.

#16I’m building a crawler for remote job postings. As well as a daily email that emails the latest remote jobs found in the past 24 hours to people who sign up: https://bloomberry.com/remote-jobs/
So far, there’s more than 1500 subscribers after a month and a half

#17https://okzest.com - mail merge for images. I've had a few non-technical people say 'oh cool, AI for images'!

#18I'm working on https://quickchart.io/, a web API for generating chart images. I've expanded it to a WYSIWYG chart editor at https://quickchart.io/chart-maker/, which lets you create an endpoint that you can use to generate variations of custom charts. This is useful for creating charts quickly, or using them in places that don't support dynamic charting (email, SMS, various app plugins, etc).
I messed around with some AI features, mostly just for fun and to see if they could help users onboard. But the core product is decidedly not AI.

#19I'm working on Rolepad (https://rolepad.com), a tool that brings together candidates (job application management) and hiring managers / recruiters (better candidate experience). The candidate side is pretty decent at this point, working on the employer side now. The first capability this will unlock is keeping the status of the application in sync between the two, for greater transparency and hopefully reduced ghosting. I'm sure I'll eventually start sprinkling some AI in the app, but for now it's much more important to get basic functionality, user experience, and market fit right.

#20I'm personally working on a specialized system monitor software to address deficiencies with a popular enterprise IWMS. It is aimed at companies that do not want to splurge for Splunk and require some specific system admin controls and metrics. There is a forwarder and backend API which will be completely self-hosted. I'm using this project to build some expertise in Go :)
