#552SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/ I've been running it for over 10 years now, it's a database of Steam games, their updates, price history, charts, and a lot more. In the early days we took monetary donations but stopped a few years in. It costs less than 100$ a month to run. Cloudflare reports 552.2M requests in the past 30 days, and 6.09M unique visitors.
You're a hero to all gamers. Take a bow sir.

#553Bulwark Passkey: https://bulwark.id
It is an open source passkey manager that allows you to export your passkey credentials in an open format. I built it because I think passkeys are much better than passwords, but all the currently proposed solutions (like Apple and Google) lock your login credentials to the device, which is a non-starter for me.
It doesn't make any money, but I personally wanted it to exist, so now it exists. I'm hoping that it will help open source passkeys to take off.

Some feedback (not sure if this is on purpose): I'm using Brave, and I couldn't right-click to "Suggest a Strong Password" in your signup field. I've never had that happen with any other site before. No adblock or Shields up. Also I can't seem to confirm my membership.
Weird, I have never seen that dropdown option but I was able to do it (but I also sometimes get a "Suggest Password" option). We're mostly developer focused so that email/password signup is really for non-github users. I'll check it out.
Mm, okay. I tried signing up (I'm a marketing/community guy) and didn't use the Github sign-up. When I click the verification email link it just hangs on your logo.

#556CoolModFiles: https://coolmodfiles.com/ (just awaiting sponsorships) CoolModFiles is a web player that will introduce you to the most obscure and legendary tracks hosted on the internet's biggest module archive, modarchive.org! The web player works by simply fetching a random module from modarchive.org and playing it. No black magic involved! The idea for CoolModFiles originated among two programmer friends who used…
Nice work, I hope you find that sponsorship!
Feature request: button/key to randomly swap through those awesome backgrounds :)

Wow, you don't make any money on SteamDB? It seems like the sort of thing that should be able to make a lot of money. Even very minimal ads would probably bring in hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars per year, and if you hate the idea of ads it seems like you could probably sell a premium subscription for some of the info you have that would be useful for devs, like imdb pro or crunchbase pro or somethin…
I can, but I have no interest in doing that currently.
Thank you!

#560https://conservationhub.nz/ - Very likely not applicable to anyone here because it's a very specific target market but I've been working on a platform that helps conservation groups in New Zealand record field data and work with local volunteers.
A lot of conservation groups in New Zealand have a similar problem where they need to record their data on-site for bird monitoring, trapping, etc to get funding. Some went and built their own apps to achieve this, but I noticed the groups that did ending up spending tens of thousands building essentially the same thing with minor differences in the data captured. For a while I helped groups get set up on a low budget with existing tools but none were really customizable or intuitive enough for volunteers recording their data and admins managing that, so we ended up creating a web/mobile app for it instead.
