Release early, release often. Don't worry, be crappy. Fail fast. Iterate.

#2https://bashboard.io
Spent 3 months making this metrics dashboard, where you can send any JSON or data and it'll pick out charts from it. Best part is - no 3rd party service is left out and the learning curve is super shallow (just make a request with any data).
The backend is very stable, but UX at the moment is poor, since I didn't manage to reach my target audience and am still thinking how to continue.

#3I'll start with mine: https://pipecontent.com - Right now trying to solve the content consumption problem.
The intention is to build a second brain for knowledge workers. That will help knowledge workers save their best ideas, organize their learning, and expand their creative output.

Looks like a nice idea. Maybe try targeting a niche or a specific industry?
I agree the UX needs a revamp.

Currently can add and remove links (pinboard clone). But the big goal is more ambitious (https://docs.learn-anything.xyz/roadmap)
Hard to do without funding.

I wanted a C++ hierarchical state machine library didn't require massive compile times like boost msm.

#8https://github.com/matiasvc/Toucan
I work in robotics and have for a long time been frustrated with how hard it is to visualize data in C++. I created Toucan to try to solve that. The project is still in a very early stage but has already started to become a useful tool.
The API still needs work but it’s getting there. Toucan can be called from anywhere in your code, and runs in its own thread to always remain interactive and responsive.

#10Voltmeter: an application to quickly provide an overview of service health using simple service status endpoints.
https://github.com/sandermvanvliet/Voltmeter
Pretty much works for what we want at $workplace, I built it so that we can see if our platform services are up and running and healthy.
It uses scraping of a service status endpoint to collect service health and the health of the dependencies of that service.
Using that the app renders a graph with all services and dependencies which helps us quickly find services that are broken in prod.
Recently added inputs from our metrics back-end so that we can have auto-discovery of new services and to support services that don’t have a HTTP endpoint we can scrape
