#22Half a year ago i've started http://www.appstoreoptimization.io/ - screenshot generator for app/play stores. For now there are no paid plans as i want to deliver as much useful functionality as possible before charging people
A word of advice from an internet stranger: start charging as soon as you can. This will determine whether you are a running a business or a fun side project.

#23I'm running https://zencastr.com as a solo founder. It isn't profitable because I haven't moved to paid plans yet. I haven't had any time to focus on marketing yet really but I get a steady stream of signups each day. So far around 10,000 hours have been recorded using the service.
If I'm visiting the site without javascript (using noscript) I get a blank page. Please add a error message that javascript is required.

I know people dislike when I comment on this, but your page is empty when visited with disabled Javascript. So please, if you ever consider putting some more work into it deliver a static info page when JS is disabled! And btw, when I enabled it (Noscript) the page loaded forever and again did not show anything - but I guess you may get some more visits now that you've linked it here.

#28Been at it for six months now, kinda slow, but I had some new stuff to learn like SVG and Web Audio API. Experimented a lot with AngularJS and React. Went back to Backbone.js and lost some time there. But good experience.
My hopes are high for this product.

The reason people dislike it is it's a simple question of ROI - how much would it really help his funnel to work on support for users who intentionally break the web vs other aspects of his product?
The fact that simple HTML delivery can be remarketed as "AMP" is a joke.
Additionally, from a designing perspective it's a good thing to render the first page statically so it does not need to talk to a backend when the visitor is most likely going to close the page after looking at the landing page.
