I'm working on an anonymous bookmark sharing web app. The key to the app is that anyone can keep a bookmark with just the url and the password, without signing up. The main use case is for multiple people. Think of it like Pocket / Instapaper but with the ability to share your collection of bookmarks with password protection for individual collections. One of the reasons for this website is to replace GitHub's "aweso…

Kinda reminds me of del.icio.us long time ago :)

I work on these three projects to launch them soon:

* https://onthesamepage.online/ - a minimalist private whiteboard with no registration; already used in German schools, but working on scaling it and prepare for a more general market.

* https://lalatabs.com - a tiny tabulature website for amateur musicians who can't read notes; need to add a few hundred songs and open it to the public. This won't be monitized, and will remain my little hobby.

* https://nullitics.com/stats/ - a zero-effort web analytics, easy to embed or self-host; much lighter and smaller than the alternatives, and as a result - much cheaper (I plan to charge 1€/month and that would still be profitable).

I'm working on a site that grabs Amazon products from Reddit comments and groups them by subreddit. It's called https://ShopBySub.com

My affiliate link got rejected by Amazon several times for not having enough original content though. So right now it generates no revenue, and they haven't been able to give me any real feedback as to what constitutes original content, or how deals sites can get away without having original content.

A distributed, decentralized social network that I hope can route around the walled gardens.

The idea is everyone post their own writing, with a CC license on it to allow actual reposting. I'm open for suggestions on all fronts, but especially how to deal with replies from outside the system.

Regarding the pricing of the analytics, please reconsider. 1€ sends the signal “I’m the cheap option” and will attract cheap customers. In fact, everything below 19€/mo or 199€ sends that message.

I am building a directory of privacy friendly tools - https://privacylist.net/ I started building it for myself but then thought it could be useful for anyone. It is still work in progress and needs lot of work on details and the list itself. The idea is to show options to average person (not only techies) with enough details to help them choose.

I've spent the last two weeks making an Arduino-based "air" MIDI controller. Kind of like a theremin but with cheap sonar modules (distance sensors like they use on toy cars). It's incredibly fun to play. It's not accurate enough to control a pitch with precision but for a controller, to drive filters, modulators, etc. it's perfect. Also, my kids love to play with it -- not in a "musical" way but to control the music…

that makes me want to put a sonar sensor into my eurorack modular synthesizer. I actually installed a real theremin module today. Eurorack is simpler than midi, each aspect of a sound is a separate DC voltage, the standard for pitch is “1 volt per octive”

An aggregator ala reddit/hackernews/twitter that uses a market mechanism to better incentivise content discovery. One of the biggest issues with existing aggregators is that: - how well content performs is dependant on the attention it gets immediately after posting. - However, readers aren’t incentivised to sift carefully through new content, which is generally of lower quality than "frontpage" content - This means…

Newsconomy [1] was a website with a pretty similar idea. It never gained much traction afaik, but the developer seemed pretty passionate about it [2]. I believe this [3] is the developer's current page, in case you wish to get in contact with him for this project.
