endoflife.date: https://endoflife.date Created it because I was frustrated having to lookup information on multiple sites, and having to dig deep and read through terribly written support policies. No Ads, no tracking, all hosted cheaply on Netlify OSS Plan. Now at 100+ contributors, with 3-5 maintainers on the project. We have a long roadmap for the next year[0]. A contributor wrote a EOL Scanner that is based on a…
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.
I'm not an user myself but since many comments chastise you of not making money with ads, I would like to thank you for your work and for keeping it free from ads
Maybe it is worth paying $0.00000018109 to satisfy someones request? If they are running up the bill to $0.00001642036 per person (90.6751339113 req/user/month) there must be something there worth something for them?
I get that some people are to cheap to purchase fun for others but at these rates it is more like people are against fun in general. One can be cheap but one cant be that cheap?
I've had this discussion before... uhh... a few times.
Them: Why are you doing this????
me: Aren't you having fun?
Them: YEAH, but why????
me: You see little jimmy over there? You think he is enjoying himself too?
Them: uh yes? But why????
me: Well, I don't mind it.
Keep 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 :)
It started out with me wanting to see the Epic Games weekly free games in my RSS feed. And since I also wanted to learn some Python I made a small application out of it.
Well, that escalated a bit, so now the app: - Scrapes offers from Epic, Steam, Amazon, Itch, Gog, Ubisoft - Enriches the offers with info (scores, price etc) from Steam and IGDB - Creates multiple RSS feeds out of that - Also runs a Telegram bot where you can subscribe to offers (or follow them as channels)
It‘s not been a great success in count of users I think, though it‘s hard to know how many use the RSS feeds. The Telegram bot has about 100 subscribers and the project hs about 30 stars on GitHub, so at least some people seem to like it.
Anyways, it has been a fun learning experience and I still enjoy using it myself, so that‘s fine :)
Tech stack: Python + SQLite + Playwright + Docker
It‘s running on my Synology NAS, so the hosting costs are close to 0€.
Do I need an Umbrella Today? https://umbrellatoday.app 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, an…
It looks pretty good, I’ve been looking for something like it. Though in my case I want to know of full days. I.e. I want an alert for “will it rain at all tomorrow”? When checking the current day, it’d be useful to see all hours of the day and if it’s going to rain in any.
Earlier 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…
I can, but I have no interest in doing that currently.
I created it to play something during covid with my friends in video calls. Now it is still online, costs about 4€/m in hosting and is played by some people around the world. I would love to add some features (other player icon) with micro payments but I haven't found something which allows transactions with ~1cent. And I don't want to make it more expensive.
Radiant: https://getradiant.app/ Premise: Takes your Spotify and turns it into a personalised FM-style radio station, complete with a snarky, AI-powered radio presenter called Rad. Rad'll quip, read you the news and weather on the hour, announce what you've just heard and what's coming next, gives you biographical info for bands you might not be too familiar with but most importantly; Rad helps you discover new music…
https://thechillypony.com Allows you to configure a zip code and alert temp, and you'll get an email if the forecast temp falls below that alert temp, so you can know when you need to blanket your horses. Built it to scratch my own need. Makes $0 :)
