#133i have a sort of a linktree, but the links are pushed out to my satellite sites via js snippet.
i wanted a way to link all my $0 side projects to one another as easily as possible -- that is, add my new project to my 'universal navbar' and have it deployed everywhere instantly.
so, when i spin up my new project, foobar.com, i'll go to navbarlinks.com, log in, add this link, save, and see it show up as a new header menu item on all my zero-dollar sites.
an example of this dynamic navbar of links is at that site itself - at the top for now.
i thought of adding new features, but wanted to see if anyone besides me found it useful. not so far that i know of.

#134Disclaimer: This project isn't currently publicly available. I was using Simple as my primary bank, and their Goals feature made it possible to do envelope-style budgeting really conveniently. Unfortunately the bank that backed them, BBVA, sold to PNC. This lead to my Simple being shut down, and my account was converted first to a BBVA account and then to a PNC account.

#137Running verrrrry close to $0 net profit factoring in App Store membership costs.
AudioWrangler is a native macOS (native as in not Electron) app that automatically switches to your favorite audio input/output devices automatically. When your computer wakes up in the morning there's a 30% chance it selects my internal speakers rather than DAC. Also has other nice features such as optionally muting your internal speaker when switching to it, which prevents your speakers from blasting out in a shared office if your BT headset dies.

#138Headless commerce platform, focused on product information management (PIM), search, and other core requirements. GraphQL API around much of the platform, but also providing Jakarta EE APIs and a taglib for JSPs.

#139Website for tracking betting lines and finding arbitrage between betting sites. I'm currently collecting all the data myself and am working to build a public API to allow others to access that data.
It's currently costing me ~$150 a month between DB, servers, and telemetry.
Even if it never makes a dime I'm really enjoying building it though. At work I switch to a role where I no longer write code, so having a side project where I can still do that is really nice.

#140Just a fun toy website I spent a weekend on. It costs zero to host (besides $12/year for the domain) and I don't ever plan on trying to make money on it.
I don't think I'd ever be able to beat the equivalent hourly rate of my day job with side projects haha.
