tl;dr: crowdsourced microblogging platform that encourages inter-community dialogue. I.e. wrest the very fate of your causes back from self-serving officials, celebrities, and mass media!

https://textshader.com Just 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.

Best of the web right here.

Here's one: I write (wrote is more accurate recently) a blog on unintended consequences (https://unintendedconsequenc.es/). Most of the support for it came from people here on HN, happily. And a bunch of people did buy memberships, but taking the work into account we're probably talking $1/hour. Learned a lot doing it though.

https://myweddingseatingplanner.com is a tool that helps people automatically assign seating for their guests. The assignment is made based on the affinity between guests so that only people who are closed enough (that's friends) will be seated at the same table.
