I made an App to help find out food intolerances. Basically make it super easy to enter what you have eaten. Not even based on individual items, just basic foods like soy, tomatoes, onions... help me figure out that it was garlic which was causing all the trouble. https://app.foodolyst.creatness.studio [Web] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=studio.creatne...

My question to those that are not making money or loosing money? I've been there before. How do you stay motivated to work on it?
But I guess in the end, it comes down to what you believe. Do YOU think it's a good idea? Are you willing to fight for it? If your answer is "yes", then keep going. Ask yourself what you would do if someone cloned your product overnight and started selling it... what would you do to make your original product or idea better and compete against them? How would you reposition and regroup to fend off this tedious interloper? Or would you just throw in the towel? Ask yourself if you might be able do some guerilla marketing. Take a group of your friends to pertinent trade shows, all of you wearing shirts emblazoned with your website or product name, just wandering around. Make business cards with special offers and leave them in random office building restrooms (or bars or clubs or whatever makes sense for your product). Find a related product with whom you can partner and ride each other's coattails. Hire some social influencers to mention your brand. Create giveaways and contests. Yada^3.
If you believe in it, don't give up and do what it takes!
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…
I've been listening for about 30 minutes and it's pretty neat, I've already found some new music I like. However, the weather forecast told me it was 275° F.
Thanks for using and for the bug report!

Cool! Just signed up. I was a little turned off by how much access you need to Spotify. Is that just because they don't have granular enough permissions?
I know it's a bit of a laundry list. Everything there is required to use the Spotify API the way I needed to. Playlist read/write so it can add songs you like to the 'Liked on Radiant on Spotify', Profile to set your locale when making requests and for setting your profile picture if you have one etc etc. I'll look at paring it back in future if I can!
I'm working on a TUI Jupyter Notebook editor, euporie, which allows you to run and edit Jupyter Notebooks in the terminal: https://github.com/joouha/euporie It's useful for editing and running notebooks on remote servers over SSH, or inside containers where setting up port forwarding is not possible or too difficult, or if you just like working in the terminal. It's open-source, and I have no idea how I would go abou…
Hope mine will reach the same maturity someday!
Originally an experiment when the HTML Canvas element was new and exciting, to see if I could make a website to create flip-book style animations. I have no proof, but I'm pretty confident it was one of the first websites that could do so.
~12 years later, a refactor from PHP to NodeJS and React and LOTS of spare-time sunk into it - it's moderately successful by my standards. Got kids from all over the world creating stuff - some even very impressive. From my logs, I can even see some schools in the USA are using it in some lessons.
It's been a pain sometimes when troublemakers are hell-bent on making, well - trouble! Definitely build your moderation tools from the start folks.
It has a few ads sprinkled over it in a futile attempt to cover my server costs, but probably has a net cost to me of about £20/mo.
Genuinely love that kids and teachers use it - even my daughter is on there. It's been absolutely fascinating and heartwarming to see how some of the kids have developed their art and animation skills over time. Maybe one day it'll be bug-free and "finished".

Trying it now and it seems really nice! I wish you had a desktop/web version, and it would be my daily background radio while I work all day. Spotify's Discover Weekly playlists are nice enough, but they barely carry me through the first 1-2 days, and then it gets pretty repetitive. It would also work really well as an Alexa skill, especially with Rad's commentary. What did you write the apps in?
Yep, the idea is that the stream of music it plays is both time appropriate and always relatively fresh. You can tune its selection algo too with the thumbs up or down (long pressing on either for more fine controls). Web is due out in the next 2 weeks. Alexa skill has been on the roadmap forever as I've always seen smart speakers as like the place it makes the most sense. The apps are Svelte based with capacitor (pl…
It would be a very cool community-supported smart radio service :)
A lot of these projects make for terrible games, but really fun side projects. I've been putting up the more playable ones on https://neonarcade.games
Convert your existing e-commerce store into an Augmented Reality ready store.
Been working on this for 2 years and just about to launch a new integration with WooCommerce.
Learn a new language by creating a mind palace. It used to be a flashcard app with dictionary and English only, but now it's for more languages and has different learning approach.
I'm working on it for 4+ years, trying to build a good product people use before placing a price tag.
Blogging platform I built as New Year hacking project, it doesn't have registration and all interaction happens through the email. You can email markdown and get it converted to the website.
I built it to address my own wish for such tool but failed to find any potential customers. I plan to use it though, to host blogs for all my other projects.
