#542https://www.hiroapp.com - Note-taking reduced to the core that just works™. Offline first, no signup needed, easily sharable (url, sms, email) and (web)realtime sync between all devices and collaborators. My co-founder and I moved on to a new project a year ago, but this thing is still buzzing along on a cheap DO box and works like a charm with basically zero maintenance. Frontend is vanilla JS, backend in Go and the…

#543It's a simple chrome extension to jump between top-level comments on hacker news using the arrow keys.
I've been meaning to publish it to the extension store, but that process looks like it'll take longer than actually writing it did :)
The reason it's my proudest "achievement" is just because it's so useful to me (solves an actual problem)

#547Earlier quoted context omitted.
So taking your project as an example, and having Carbon Ads, how much $$$ do you get out of them?
I don't pay attention to it and I can't for the life of me figure out how much it earns monthly but there is over $800 in my account. My hunch is $10-$15 a month or so. I just moved it to a cheaper hosting plan so it's actually turning a minuscule profit now.

#548https://izuded.com (i.e., "iz u ded?") I made this because I adopted a puppy and realized that, if I got hit by a bus on a Friday, he could be stuck in his crate for days before anyone realized. Morbid, but useful. It texts you every X days and asks, "u ded?" -- if you don't click "naw" before X days pass, it'll notify your contacts. It's a portfolio project to show what I've learned in the realm of "serverless" arch…
Google has a similar feature to give trusted people access to your data if you've been inactive for a given amount of time (so probably dead): https://www.google.com/settings/account/inactive
Could be an attack vector when you know someone's google usage will be sparse.
