For me it’s the Zettelkasten/smart notes app I’m working on. I’ve been a frustrated with how I take notes from books, videos, blog posts, etc. I want to build a zero-inbox style workflow around organising my notes consistently so that I can start to blog with a wealth of research and ideas at my fingertips. So I’ve started building Flowtelic. Early (no signup/in browser storage) version is live at https://app.flowtel…
My hacker news comment notifier lol https://hacknotescenter.com/ I need to do an about building blog post but I basically just made it to get better at kubernetes design doc writing, and play around with hasura, next.js, vercel and a bunch of other tech toys.
Neat. I think I just signed up. If your notifier works, then you will know this immediately.
Terrain2STL - http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/ Creates 3D-printable elevation maps of Earth's surface. I originally made it because I couldn't find a tool to make a particular 3D model I wanted, and then decided to open source it. However, to use the code you need to download ~80 GB of elevation data, which I thought would be a stumbling block for a lot of other hobbyists, so I put together a little web interface and…

Nice! What you can do is reuse the structure of your game, and make another one. Basically, just re-skin it. Then, I think a better approach is to just give it away for free. Then, display ads, or sell tokens when they player dies. Only display ads, in non-critical parts of the game, like when the player dies, or when he pauses the game. Or in between levels. But, the biggest money maker, might be to sell tokens. Onc…
Please don't support such dark patterns that are already used everywhere. Your comment honestly reads as if you don't want the game to be enjoyed and this isn't at all in the "I don't care if this project succeeds" idea of the topic.

how the hell would 30k users not be enough to pay for servers? if everyone just pays $0.50 a month you got $15k. Congrats!
Because I launched it as a free app... I didn't have any confidence in it and at that moment, there was no way for me to accept payments internationally. I recently revamped the app, added features like real-time collaboration, chrome-app integration etc., and put that under a subscription. But have no time to market or spread the word around. Moreover, I'm not sure how to get free users to convert over to paid so, t…
Hah. Quite a few: https://www.3cosystem.com -- a simple startup events calendar. I'm surprised it is still up. It scrapes the Meetup API firehose, filters for tech events, and drops indexes on 65 cities world-wide. It never gets updates, and I'm surprised it still works.
This is pretty cool, would be nice if I could somehow subscribe to a city or country for example.

Not sure it will get much attention, but thanks for the input.

It's amazing how we are repeatedly going full circle: we managed to stigmatize a completely natural farting sound (you are in a bathroom so the smell is contained), and then come up with "solutions" to feel free to produce the same sounds. It took me a while, but I've convinced my wife that farting is ok, and that you should only worry about subjecting others to lousy odours, and even that only when you are visiting…
My room was next to said bathroom with rather thin walls, so I always appreciated the sound at least be a bit played down by the music. Another side effect was that you always knew when the bathroom was in use (aside from someone forgetting to turn the light off, which you now had radio playing to remind you off).
But why and how did we become bothered by the _sounds_ of it? Are you bothered by the coo-coos of birds, or morning rooster calls. Cats purring, screeching cat calls or dogs barking? All of these can be similarly annoying, but we are not "solving" them.
It's weird how our association of sounds with smells and dirtiness of taking a dump has made sounds which are rarely that bad in objective sense (loudness, pitch...) so unpleasant.
It's also how it's considered impolite to slurp a soup, and some people are outright disgusted by hearing it being done.

Just an idea.. Try the wikipedia model maybe and ask for some donations if you've been using the app. I did this with an old product and it was helpful.
