SteamDB: 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.
https://typeracelive.com/ I wasn't satisfied with other type racing sites because they were not real time enough for me. I wanted to be able to see exactly where the other racers' cursors were and where they made errors. I don't expect to make money any off of this, but it was fun to build and I find it fun to play with my friends every once in a while. The stack is React and ChartJS in the FE (that's it), and Rust w…

Nothing special really, the app gained little traction but I use it personally.
As a person who has often wandering thoughts, I found the best way to capture them is to write them down.
So I have basically 30 project ideas (mostly mobile and web apps) and I don't know which one to start and keep track of them, so I decided to help myself and built the app.
I can rate my own ideas on some parameters, label them, and sort them by their status. It helps with having a clear mind.
Currently "videos" is pretty well flushed out. Still some work to do with web archives. Maps has been a huge headache simply because maps are so large. Got PDFs and EPUBs searchable recently.
An abbreviated list of the technologies I've used to built it: Python, ReactJS, Open Street Map, yt-dlp (videos), SingleFile (web archives).

initiative.sh[0], a web-based text interface for creative D&D play. After a promising response on HN[1], I had hoped that I might be able to monetize the project, but traffic has since crashed to almost nothing. I would say that after six months of full-time development it is about halfway to being complete as a freemium product, so instead I've opted to open-source it.[2] It turns out that the challenge with launchi…
Nice work! Saw your previous post about jumping to doing your own thing full time in 2021, kudos on shipping.
I've been building a procedural music generation engine for the last 2 years. It's been a passion project. There are a handful of videos on youtube that showcase it. It can generate pretty good songs and transitions based on established rules. I'm hoping to make it more generally accessible soon, but so far I've just been using it to help me make my music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3Xtq9IlfA0l3dNPe3lhGAY
The idea has emerged from my personal frustration with having to carry an umbrella (large or small). Large umbrellas are heavy and cumbersome to carry, and are often lost at events, while small umbrellas provide insufficient protection and are prone to breaking. The conclusion is that there is a need to minimize interactions with umbrellas as much as possible, and therefore we need a simple yes/no answer before leaving our premises.
