An iOS App that provides a visualization of how often you hit your daily exercise goals and compete with friends (using data transferred through gamekit) I initially launched the app at $2 and hit the brick wall that is paid app user acquisition. I lowered the price to free for a bit to see if it catches on at all.

#632Bitcoin Cash is what Bitcoin should have been if they had let the block size increase as Satoshi intended. Bitcoin should have gained dominance with this increase and people would have been freer for it.
I take no profits. Unclaimed tips go back to sender after 7 days.

#633Keep Close Friends: https://keepclosefriends.com One day I noticed I was slowly losing touch with old friends - I moved, we all have busy lives and don't hang out just by chance any more. Those people used to be loved ones and now I wasn't sure. It felt like grief. So I built a simple website where I can list relationships and ideal meeting frequency (say, 2-3 times a year), then get a few relationship stats and a re…

#635This should be a regular feature on HN, somewhat akin to "Who's hiring?" and "Who wants to be hired?". Maybe not on a monthly basis, but it would be cool to see periodically on some cadence. There's a lot I could say on this topic, but TBH, I don't want to go into most of it in detail Right Now for various reasons. The main reason being simply that the side project stuff I might want to call attention to is largely n…

#637Sheetmailer: https://sheetmailer.io/ It allows users to create personalized emails from the data in an Excel sheet. They write a template like Hello {Name} Your grade of todays exam was {Grade}. Best regards Prof. X The mailer automatically fills out the gaps with the corresponding column of the Excel sheet. Since it's been running, I got a single one-time payment (about four years ago). I'm using it a lot myself tho…

#638Earlier quoted context omitted.
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…

#640Music Tonight: https://musictonightapp.com/ Makes a Spotify playlist of artists playing near you, tonight. No revenue. I really just made it for me; make the playlist in the am, listen during the day, and maybe see something that night.
At any rate, I've shared it with some friends that do use Spotify and they all love it.
