I work on these three projects to launch them soon: * https://onthesamepage.online/ - a minimalist private whiteboard with no registration; already used in German schools, but working on scaling it and prepare for a more general market. * https://lalatabs.com - a tiny tabulature website for amateur musicians who can't read notes; need to add a few hundred songs and open it to the public. This won't be monitized, and…

Just discovered that the random token generation still needs work for https://onthesamepage.online/. You can easily guess or create (short) board ids, and see what was drawn there by others.

An online version of the dominoes-based game, Mexican Train. I've kept it free, and it's already brought thousands of folks closer together during the pandemic. After some scaling issues, I'm currently rooting out bugs and moving to a new, faster API.

If anyone wants to help, it's React and PHP. I get emails daily thanking me for creating it, so it's a really rewarding project to work on.

Currently grinding on Curabase ( https://www.curabase.com ), my tool for shared team bookmarks. I built it to scratch my own itch. (Apparently I'm the only one with that itch. LOL) I actually hit the front page of HN here a few years ago with it. Maybe it is time for a second go. 2021 will be the year I monetize it and hope to make it pay for its own hosting.

Hey, I used to have that same itch too! Curabase looks almost identical to the app I was building as a side project back in 2017. Column-based bookmarks, easy to categorize and reorganize, though I was using Material UI back then and was consumer focused.

Never launched... it became another unfinished project. I eventually realized that I don't really need to store that many bookmarks.

I made a tool to take my Kindle highlights and import them into a SQLite database wrapped in a Datasette website. https://github.com/rphillips/datasette-kindle-highlights
