I run Plain Text Sports ( https://plaintextsports.com/ ). I got sick of waiting for ESPN to load so I made a site with the goal of providing immediate access to what people actually care about: sports scores. It's pretty fully featured at this point, supporting the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, Premier League and Champions League, college basketball and college football, WNBA, NWSL, and the World Cup. And for a lot of lea…
After reading on Hacker News about Universal Paperclips and seeing someone post that their whole team wasted a day playing it, I thought I would try to create an idle game that was devops themed, collaborative, and time-limited. Like other idle games, you basically try to make the big number get really, really big. But, unlike other idle games that I have found, mine mixes in silly devrel trivia questions. Set aside…
https://lilhash.com/ https://github.com/jackbow/lil-hash/ A simple temporary URL shortener that produces easily rememberable and speakable URLs. The links expire after 24 hours so there's always a one word shortening available. Receives approximately 20,000 visits each month. Useful for sharing a link in a presentation, or between devices when you don't want to login to your email, etc. When its easier to remember or…
It's a hyper-local algorithmically generated newsletter about Burlington, VT with about 500 local subscribers (population of Burlington 45,000). I have tried selling t-shirts and sponsorships and although I've sold some t-shirts and had one sponsor, it doesn't cover the MailChimp fees and advertising I've done over the years; which is pretty much okay with me because I see it as a hobby.
We did raise money on Kickstarter - 25K but are purely donations-driven and open source (AGPL3) Most months we just get enough to cover the cost of running the servers. We have around 6000 monthly active users, have hosted several big worldwide championships, have puzzles, and just earlier today released a board editor / broadcast mode for annotating real life games in real time. We also have a top notch bot AI and WASM-based analyzer.
Our stack is Go, Typescript + React, with NATS/PGSQL on the backend.
SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/ I've been running it for over 10 years now, it's a database of Steam games, their updates, price history, charts, and a lot more. In the early days we took monetary donations but stopped a few years in. It costs less than 100$ a month to run. Cloudflare reports 552.2M requests in the past 30 days, and 6.09M unique visitors.
https://typeracelive.com/ I wasn't satisfied with other type racing sites because they were not real time enough for me. I wanted to be able to see exactly where the other racers' cursors were and where they made errors. I don't expect to make money any off of this, but it was fun to build and I find it fun to play with my friends every once in a while. The stack is React and ChartJS in the FE (that's it), and Rust w…
One thing that throws me off quite a lot is the smooth cursor animation, good to see that you already allow to turn that off.

https://www.bootstrapsite.com I've been working on a Bootstrap 5 landing page builder for almost 1 year now (mostly just weekends though). It's like my pet project than any money earning business but it gives me pleasure to work on it so I just keep at it. My plan is to open source it soon so people can create their sites and landing pages for free and host it on their own servers. Initially I made it create my own s…
