A word game I made last holidays that's fully free: https://wordmaze.click.
Similar to wordle. Thinking of putting this in App Store. Do you think it's worth it?

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.
Valve should just acquire you to be honest.

#744I’m building https://polyglatte.com a language learning website (and app) for learning with real content like YouTube videos, subtitles, and text articles. Ideal for intermediate and advanced learners. Some neat features are that we fully parse the text and part of speech tag it, we have a system to prepare for difficult articles/videos with clips from easier ones, and the core idea scales really well to more types o…
Wow! This is really cool, will definitely be using this for learning french. Thank you!
Just one question, is there a way to make words by default known? I’m at an intermediate level, and don’t really want to tell the program that I know all the rather simple words.. or does that not really matter?

#745Keep 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…
do you really not have any subscribers? seems like this is making more than $0 :)

#747https://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.
> Also https://frt.rip, a whoopie cushion with spatial audio
This may be the most magnificent phrase I have ever read on the internet.
But when I visit in Firefox (mostly vanilla, on Pop!OS), a scary warning pops up that the site is trying to do something to my machine, with no context of what. I presume that "spatial audio" requires some support beyond just whatever my browser already knows how to do, but.... what?
Hey, it works with no warnings on my phone! Oh, and that audio is glorious. Juicy. Extravagant.
This is going on my smallest most concealable Bluetooth speaker...

Does steam have some sort of affiliate link program? If they don't they should.

#749During covid I wanted to take a 'digital vacation', so I thought: why not an online chess lesson with grand master Ben Finegold? But arranging a time (across busy schedules and time zones) and price was too much effort for a once-off catch up, so I made a tool that would have let me google him and book (and pay for) a time in under 1 minute (with trivial effort from both parties). Of course, it works for anyone, not…
Surprising you don't make money off this. Works well with Humble Bundle style pricing, with a tip or portion given to charity.

#750I have a wildly unprofitable side hustle as a cattle rancher. Whatever, it’s fun.
How did you get started on this side hustle?
