No plans or even ideas how to commercialize it, so it will stay at $-10/month.
I made it just for fun, but noticed that there are some users, so I keep it running.

#582https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug
Offline-first bug tracker (and soon-ish forge) embedded in git.
I keep working on this because the idea makes a lot of sense to me, because I learn a lot from it and it benefits me indirectly.
I'm not especially looking to monetize, but I'm curious about what this community think about it.

#583https://www.adama-platform.com/ is a platform SaaS which is costing me a few hundred a month while I build it up. I'm focusing on polishing up the static web server so it can be competitive and i can reduce my expenses. It's basically a realtime document store with a special language that is a modern Excel.
I'm happy with where I'm at, and this year I'm going to focus on offering a commodity (static websites) with a realtime database upsell.

a browser based mass multiplayer online game with a sci-fi "the expanse" like setting.
remember the old school (2004) games you used to play with your browser. play it again with new technology but old flair.
currently there are 150 players, but no money made so far because I don't like pay to win and without that it's hard to monetize such a game
I recently translated it into english so everyone can play with us :)

#585Theory A: [https://www.theory-a.com](https://www.theory-a.com)
Premise: Plotting market cap rather than price allows fundamentals like earnings & cash flow to be compared against the market valuation on the same Y axis.
The efficient-market "correctly" prices in positive or negative sentiment so this visualizes how much of that sentiment is hyping up or depressing the price.

Very cool, I've daydreamed about building something similar but always convinced myself I'd have to wait until text-to-speech was better to really incorporate all the sources I'd like. Awesome work!
The major advancements in text-to-speech we've since in the last year have me planning on revamping Rad's voice (maybe basing it on Tom Sellek...who knows) but the fact we've come this far has really opened a world of opportunities for audio-first experiences.
You could use unreal speech for this. Not a plug but i found it really cheap to make realistic tts using an api using it.

I couldn't figure out how to link the comment, but it was at least 9 months ago I said this, and someone was already working on it ?? SUPER cool! I feel like AI/ML and some pre-rigged models could be used to build a web-hosted sitcom. It would take a lot of technical work, and a lot of writing chops to make it watchable, but it could be done. Look at Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, a show that was made by reusing old an…
I think you rightfully pointed out the "watchable" criteria. This is where we got to with 4 years of working on-and-off on it. The hard part is continuing to iterate over the structure to make it passable as a sitcom. The easy part is actually the language model stuff... we have an OpenAI integration, I just don't keep it on because it's a lot of $$$. We have lots of ideas about how to expand the show's structure, bu…
How do you generate your dialogue? Is it tuned as "conversation between characters", or was the model fed sitcom scripts?

#588https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. SVGs are usually the way to go, but sometimes you need a PNG. A previous tool that did the same went away, so I built my own.
Also https://frt.rip, a whoopie cushion with spatial audio, because I had the domain lying around.
Both don't make money, but they also have no users besides myself so they can run on my cheap server for free basically.

#589https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font
Being distributed with Debian and downstreams, 11 years old, with 1.5K stars and 60+ forks is, by far, my most popular open source thing. My biggest shame is that it's not software, but a font that mimics the look of IBM's 3278-2 terminals.
And, of course, it's the font I use for terminals on all my machines.
