I decided to launch my macOS app even if it was only about "40% complete" as of my expectation. It turned out people still love it, and the launch gave me a huge confidence boost!
My app (offline toolbox for dev with a bunch of small utilities):
Help folks pay their phone and Internet bills https://evenaccess.org Needs polishing and an application form for folks seeking help.
I would donate if the homepage communicated how exactly the funds are used.
Is the idea that you’ll directly match donators and people in need?
If so, there’s the obvious chicken and egg problem, one idea to overcome that could be starting out with all donations going to an existing charity that shares a similar mission (and being transparent about that on the landing page), and then eventually start redirecting funds directly to folks seeking help (also while being very transparent as the use changes)
I'll start with mine: https://pipecontent.com - Right now trying to solve the content consumption problem. The intention is to build a second brain for knowledge workers. That will help knowledge workers save their best ideas, organize their learning, and expand their creative output. Hacker? Interested? Let's connect on https://twitter.com/notoriousarun
https://cleave.app Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Started because of frequent multitasking heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, working, reading, looking for an apartment, etc. without manually managing all state…
I started this a year and a half ago and I keep throwing it away and restarting, but I'm hopeful for this iteration.
I haven't got around to making a README yet unfortunately.
https://github.com/briancappello/flask-unchained I wanted something better than Django. So I built this. IMO it's already there from a technical perspective but the documentation needs some more work. Would greatly appreciate any feedback!
I used padrino for a while, because it advertised itself as half-way between sinatra and rails. I liked it, but I don't think the framework ever had enough support to be able to rely on it, and since it's not well known I wouldn't pick it again in an environment where someone else had to code on it. http://padrinorb.com/
I'm not familiar with padrino, but at least for Flask Unchained, it's literally Flask under the hood - so my project is less a new framework but more of an improved way to use a highly popular existing framework. I'm hopeful this distinction can help with adoption.
I just created http://unaffixed.com for finding and posting Gumroad-like jobs [1]. It's just a markdown file converted to html and served from a Fastmail folder. My process was: Read this thread [2] yesterday afternoon. Thought this sounded like a "looser" work environment. Searched "synonym loose". 3rd result was "unaffixed". Bought unaffixed.com and pointed it at Fastmail. MD to html with pandoc. Added water.css st…
So, um, affixed.
For this to be useful you’ll need some screening. Good luck with it!
(And assuming comma.ai posted this themselves, what a bizarre thing to do: start your recruiting process with an obvious lie? What does that say about your corporate culture?)
I made https://others.com as an attempt to make a space for meaningful connection and conversation on the internet. Turns out the hard part is getting enough people in there!

I'm starting with a niche, then try to go wider.
