#42Honestly everything I do. I used to have such high expectations of every side project I built, blogs I wrote, videos I made.
At the end of the day, I realized that the very fact of caring too much prevented me from creating more. The more I created, the more people would engage and those projects would succeed. Weird how that works.

Re: Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?
#44If I "don't care if this succeeds" it's only ever one or two things: something that 'has to be done' (because of some external pressure/reason) or 'I'm learning so I can succeed elsewhere, elsehow'
Why would I otherwise want to put time and effort into something I don't care about? That's irrational

#45A lot, I don't list them in my resume or attach a title (founder, etc.), I just did it for the fun of it or to teach my son. active & hiatus projects (published in Google Play & Apple App Store) https://ABCDutch.app - Various Dutch learning apps I made for my son https://ChronoBook.app - Muji Chronotebook for iPad https://CloudArchitect.app (see wayback) - AWS/Kubernetes/Google/Azure Cloud Whiteboard Magnets for iPad…
I'd say doing it "for the fun of it" or "to teach my son" are both forms of "succeed" :)

#46Mine is a simulation game that I'm working on in the spirit of having a forever project[0]. I've been working on pieces of it on and off for years and as it stands it's very incomplete. More of a collection of systems and interesting mechanics that I've been trying to figure out how they fit together. For some reason I always find it difficult to make games, I can build complex systems spanning multiple servers that…

#47I created https://plaintweet.com/ primarily for myself. I posted it on HN sometime back and many people visited it. It is completely free and doesn't use any analytics so I don't know how many people use it (if any). It runs on a $5 VM along with some other small projects, so it doesn't cost me much and hence the outcome doesn't matter.
Fantasic idea and implementation. My timeline on here compared to twitter.com looks more sane and inteligent without those recommendations of 'X liked this tweet', and all the news topics. I assume that's because it's getting the raw feed. I also love low-fi websites like this. I think websites shouldn't be a large drain on resources, and should embrace standard HTML as much as possible. This has the opportunity to c…
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you like this. Yes, I was spending way too much time because of the endless feed and scroll. I was seeing more things I didn't subscribe to (follow) than what I subscribed to. So I created this app.
The timestamp idea is great. I will look into implementing it next. It's always nice to have a start and an end. Maybe I will add a setting where the user can specify how frequently they want to fetch new items.

It is a lot like that and I want to find a better resolution for it.
I don't want ideas to stop, I've had times where I've looked at a game system that I've built and had no idea what to do next. That's also horrible.
Having a new idea shouldn't just have me building some new thing from scratch either.
Working out how to navigate that tightrope when you are the client and it's not just solve this problem is one I'm still trying to work out :)...

#49Started TypeBuf https://github.com/shanahanjrs/typebuf a few weeks ago.
It's just a fun little project that I tinker on in my spare time. The code's still not close to feature complete, nor is it very clean ATM but it'll shape up soon :)

#50Not tech related, other than using tech to promote it, but music. I tried a go at making a name for myself 10 years ago and failed. Now, I'm finally ready to write and record an album but I don't care if anyone listens to it. Just want to leave a tiny little piece of something to show I was here and made something.
