#162Watchflix: https://watchflix.group
I made this extension to watch stuff together with my girlfriend during the pandemic. All the other extensions had a lot of flaws, didn't work with Prime and Disney+ Hotstar, so I decided to build one for my own use. I moved to the same city as my partner, so I don't have any use for it anymore. Few people still use this daily, so I'll probably let it run on my VPS as long as I can.

I tried to monetize the website a while ago but failed, and I realized it sucked the fun out of the project so I open-sourced it instead: https://github.com/ColeDeanShepherd/Falsetto

#164Not side projects, but I'm a solo founder with 2 projects not currently generating revenue. So I feel like I'm within range of the request.

A simple temporary URL shortener that produces easily rememberable and speakable URLs. The links expire after 24 hours so there's always a one word shortening available. Receives approximately 20,000 visits each month.
Useful for sharing a link in a presentation, or between devices when you don't want to login to your email, etc. When its easier to remember or say a link than send it.
Fits in cloudflare workers free tier.

#166Radiant: 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…
I had this idea myself but never bothered to make anything of it. Thanks for saving me the effort!

#168Disclaimer: 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. When I lost access to the Simple app I first bu…

#169Wanting 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 m…

#170metrik.one : https://metrik.one/
Advanced analytics for Mailchimp. It provides deep insights into subscriptions, opens, clicks and campaigns. In addition it comes with advanced segmentation based on subscriber behaviour instead demographic data. And it includes a cohort analysis, that helps to reduce inbound ad cost dramatically by not just focusing on CAC but prospect groups that actually open and click.
We built it out of our own need (running https://8bitnews.io/) and target newsletter senders, who prefer data driven decision making.
Instead of building the next SaaS we decided to build a desktop app. Privacy and data protection were the main drivers behind that decision.
Currently in beta, but close to a release and seeking market validation.
