Dollero - https://dollero.app/ Dollero is a personal budgeting web app which doesn't store any of your budgeting data in the cloud. Instead your budget data is stored locally in your browser with IndexedDB and is synced peer to peer with your other devices using WebRTC. It's currently is free and makes no money although I would like to eventually charge a small monthly fee for syncing your budget between devices.

I’m planning to create a privacy focused budgeting app as well. My idea is to have the user data backed up to their personal google drive instead.

https://www.twitch.tv/watchmeforever - AI-generated (aside from the artwork) parody of '90s sitcoms, running forever (24/7/365). We worked on this w/ a very small team for the past four years, in-between our day jobs. When started, OpenAI didn't have an API, and Stable Diffusion definitely wasn't a thing, so we had to come up with novel methods to thread cohesive content together. Most of the "creative" details e.g.,…

Saw some articles about this and see you have 10k viewers right now - any clue where this burst of attention is coming from, or did this comment do it?

I have a newborn.

Ah yes. Those types of projects can be expensive but - with care and attention - will reap tremendous reward in your lifetime (and beyond). Congrats! :-)

thank you! i sometimes forget that the internet has nice people, too... hope you're doing great

Zen Note, the self-organizing notebook https://zen-note.com/about

Zen Note is an automatic second brain. Put any kind of notes into it that you want, and it automatically:

* Suggests very similar notes to append a new note to while you're typing the new note and let you append to a similar note with one click/tap * Moves new notes into their correct place in your folder structure based on the folder names and content of existing notes in your folders (and you can use nested folders) * Tags your notes with topics and keywords

It's evolving rapidly based on feedback from a handful of friends I have using it. I plan to open it up to everyone on my waitlist within the coming weeks (need to fix up mobile web experience first since a giant redesign broke it). Then will iterate on user feedback more while creating native apps.

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.

Yeah making money from such website can be dangerous. You would get lawsuit from Valve

Valve is probably one of the least likely of companies to sue someone for doing something cool with their stuff.
