I built a fun project to help build a morning journal habit. It works for me because I stay on top of my email inbox. The service emails me a journal prompt every morning and I save my entries by replying to the message, filling out the questions in line. If this sounds interesting there's a free trial available at https://mymomentjournal.com . I had a lot of fun building this and thinking through the user-flows whil…
I've written one fiction novel and I'm working on another one, and have ideas for the early stages of two others. While I would like to be published one day I don't think it would hurt me too badly if I wasn't. I love writing and the process of breathing life into a story and characters from nothing. I've got my manuscripts listed here in case anyone is interested https://writing.martin-brennan.com/works/#manuscripts
Built a daily word game in two dimensions, with a 5x5 wordsquare to uncover using valid word guesses. https://squareword.org It's been such a joy to work on it and add features and improvements. No way of making money, but seeing the game evolve and getting positive feedback from players has made it worth it already. :) I love small projects like that where there are no expectations or real targets, just the pure fun…
Still in progress, but you can see my existing playthroughs at https://relentlessoptimizer.com/KR/maps.
I used I for fun, then some supplemental income, and now as a test-bed for my software driven plugins for Eurorack.
it's been an amazing amount of fun and most of the ones I gave away for free were released with a very permissive license.
You can play the test version using Chrome, however beware as it needs to download over 2GB of game resources, and still has a few glitches with audio. That said it runs at a stable 60fps on most systems I've tested so far. We have two test servers, one in AU and EU. Auto-account creation is on so just type in a username/password to get started.
The server the client connects to is another project myself and a few others are working on. It's a ground-up rewrite of an early 2000s custom server for UO called Zuluhotel.

HN hug of death. And well deserved, I had a great time with this one.
I was SO CLOSE to finishing the tale about the Officer Spider who ended up free his former employee of his biggest constraint, TIME, but... then it crashed. I really want to finish that story!
https://bytebucket.co I'm the kind of person that always buys electronics used on eBay, where you can get really powerful but 2-3 years old devices for a few hundred $. And, I find shopping for used electronics elsewhere is still terrible (how good is a 1yo i5 vs a 3yo i7?). So, I made this site to help me in that -- I started scraping eBay listings for laptops, picked out the specs and cross-referenced them to bench…
