If no one links to your good product, it's not in the webgraph.
If your product makes money that is irrelevant.

Re: Six Months of Tiny Projects
#122From the author's description of the One Item Store: > Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the final product, I think its actually really cool. But building it.. it was just a bit boring. There were lots of bugs, and I started to get a bit burnt out thinking about the endless list of things required for a good online store builder. https://tinyprojects.dev/projects/one_item_store This is a fascinating observation.

My guess is that he had to deal with payment APIs (like Stripe) and it's really not fun to integrate with external APIs that take a lot of doc reading and understanding of a different field.

#123Really inspiring, I feel like your projects grew in complexity over time, which is all the more consistent with the tiny philosophy.

#124Just opened up a one item store for my surfing shower product!! Super cool concept.

Took 10min to setup including payments. Could be an alternative to ebay at this pace!

It's good that he built some side projects and seems like he learned a lot. And the process and write ups are entertaining, but I understand some of the negativity. He comes off as peak tech bro, instead of talking about how he's making the projects for fun or for learning everything is about monetizing or getting views on (admittedly!) poor quality hackathon projects. Dialing down some of the tech bro and the focus…
What is your definition of “tech bro”? The post comes off to me as someone who is humble, introspective, interested in technology, interested in testing out new ideas, and interested in getting better. Not sure what’s “tech bro” about any of that, but maybe that means I’m a tech bro, bro! /joke
“Nobody thinks they’re a techbro, it’s always someone else who’s the problem.”

> I don't understand why the other comments are being so negative, this is awesome . This is the contrarian dynamic at work: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... The first posts in a thread are usually negative because negative reactions are the easiest to feel and fastest to write. Also, most internet comments are objections to something, and when the thread is blank, the only thing there…
In one comment you said that the contrarian dynamic works on HN threads and to internet comments in general. I just went and opened 10 random Reddit threads on the front page to read the top comments, and found only 2 where this was true, and 8 where this was totally false, most notably [1]. The main reason for negative comments here on HN (IMO) is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People have learned that usually the #1 c…
We should start referring to dang as Head of Growth - The Growthhead for short. Sort of like a Fountainhead but with more growth than fountain.

> There isn't really something like that for tiny software projects IndieHackers seems close enough to me
Yeah I was going to suggest IndieHackers, plenty of tiny projects going on there.
IndieHackers is great for business ideas, but I don't get a lot of value searching for projects there. Seems like a lot of their content is either plain old consulting (writing Wordpress plugins/themes, coaching, etc) or newsletters. Great profitable businesses, but not really intellectually enlightening projects like Tiny Projects.

#130> Earlyname helps you claim rare usernames (like @ben or @alice) on new, emerging social platforms. Currently it is generating $200/month.
Very unethical. This should have never been automated.
