#125I built https://reviewsignal.com which aggregates twitter opinions about web hosting companies. It runs it through spam filtering and sentiment analysis to constantly give an updated view into what people think about these companies.

It updates itself and has for almost a decade now.

#130I created this online graphing tool in 2007 and haven't updated it in years: http://fooplot.com/ It's still generating a small amount of ad revenue every month. It used to generate 5-10X what it does now before the days of mobile apps. Back then it was a very meaningful addition to my grad student salary. I had 250K MAU at one point, many of which seemed to be coming from middle and high schools in lower income place…
