https://www.bootstrapsite.com I've been working on a Bootstrap 5 landing page builder for almost 1 year now (mostly just weekends though). It's like my pet project than any money earning business but it gives me pleasure to work on it so I just keep at it. My plan is to open source it soon so people can create their sites and landing pages for free and host it on their own servers. Initially I made it create my own s…

I have been looking for something like this.

I will play with it over the weekend and I will ping you my feedback.

Radiant: https://getradiant.app/ Premise: Takes your Spotify and turns it into a personalised FM-style radio station, complete with a snarky, AI-powered radio presenter called Rad. Rad'll quip, read you the news and weather on the hour, announce what you've just heard and what's coming next, gives you biographical info for bands you might not be too familiar with but most importantly; Rad helps you discover new music…

This is... awesome! Great concept!

This one was released around a year and half ago. To begin with I was advertising on Google Ads, but stopped about half a year ago when it didn't seem to be getting anywhere. The money I spent on ads up until this point, combined with the low number of sales, means this one is still solidly in the red.

This one only went live a few weeks ago and is _very_ much still a work in progress. However; I find it easier to keep my motivation to work on someting when it's in the wild. I haven't done any advertising on this one so far, as it isn't really ready for that yet, I want to add more features first, but I'll probably advertise it at some point. I also don't love the domain name, so I'm hoping to find something better (preferrably a .com) before I start advertising.

Wanting to experiment with Shopify, I decided to make a t-shirt shop for cyberpunk and sci-fi stuff. So I registered a short sci-Fi sounding domain: https://hex7.org and proceeded to toil (many many mouse clicks) away stocking my shop with with hand-designed shirts and coffee cups and then waited.

2 years in, not a single sale :Partly I wanted just to add products and see if the combination of Shopify, Google, and my super-niche geeky products would generate at least one lonely customer… but no.

Did I buy ads? No. Did I SEO? No. Did I use ChatGPT to write tons of shitty Cyberpunk stories and blog them? BRB…

I'm a value investor and found that most options trading tools out there are focused on day/momentum traders and were missing the necessary skillset that value investors use when selecting options, so I made this.

My friends and I use it daily, it's helped us considerably with our trades (and in that way has made us lots of money), but we haven't done the marketing necessary to get this tool to other value investors. We also might need to put some tutorials on how to use the tools. It'd be cool to get paid subscribers at some point so it could cover its own cost and some other tools we want to make.

If anyone is interested in this type of tool, I'd be very interested in getting their feedback!

A dead simple tool to turn Google Docs (and Google Dive folders with many Docs inside) into published websites. It looks good on mobile, is super fast, and it uses the exact same formatting that appears in the original doc.

It was inspired by an HN post, but I can’t seem to find it.

I’d love to get some feedback!
