#892I 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…
I've been using your site daily during the MLB season, the design is perfect. If you displayed a plain text advertisement I wouldn't even mind.

#893canSnippet: cansnippet.com
It's a snippet/clipboard manager for macOS. I worked on that project a few years ago and sold a dozen copies. I still use it every day and I feel like it could be helpful to many other users. That's why I decided to have a look at it again, start by updating a bit the code and also providing a Linux and Windows version, let's see how much time I can dedicate to it. What makes canSnippet really useful is the powerful keyboard shortcuts to create from and use a snippet in any app.

#894My side project is my cloud jukebox music player. I first started on it in Python about 7 years ago. About a year ago I started a C++ implementation of it and that's where my focus has been. I store my music collection in an S3-compliant object store (Wasabi, about $6/month) and I have it available to me wherever I go. I listen to my music (typically on random play) while I'm working. I have no expectation of ever making any money from it, it's something I do for my own benefit.

#896https://tnxfr.com/ - to send texts/links or maybe files to any device.
I built this 6 years ago when I needed to send a long URL to my smart TVs browser and got frustrated by existing options out there. It's OSS and still sees some usage[1] to this day.

#897AppHunt https://apphunt.org
It’s a newsletter that sends out posts about interesting iOS apps every week. I bought the newsletter on microns.io in December 2022.
It’s a ghost blog / newsletter hosted on a VPS which isn’t expensive. However I’m using mail gun and that part is pricey. I’m thinking about switching to something else soon but mailgun integrates pretty easily with ghost.
I write software at work so I figured a newsletter would take me out of my comfort zone. I have to do things I don’t think I’m great at like writing and marketing. I find the deadline of putting out an issue every Monday keeps me honest.
Also I love these posts it’s fun scrolling through all the different projects!

#898https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. SVGs are usually the way to go, but sometimes you need a PNG. A previous tool that did the same went away, so I built my own. Also https://frt.rip , a whoopie cushion with spatial audio, because I had the domain lying around. Both don't make money, but they also have no users besides myself so they can run on my cheap server for free basically.
> https://font2png.com to create PNGs from icon fonts like Font Awesome. Would you consider an extra slider for the corner radius? That would allow to download icons with a background which is not completely square, but also a squircle or circle (maximum corder radius).
Alright, the background can now have rounded corners with smoothing / squircles like in iOS, using Figmas algorithm. Thanks for the suggestion! → https://font2png.com

#899RoadCaptain: https://roadcaptain.nl/ It’s an add-on to Zwift that lets you create your own custom routes and not be limited to the fixed ones offered by Zwift. I’ve been working on this for a little over a year and I’ve had some good reactions from folks using it. Even so, apart from one person sponsoring me on GitHub with a one-off that’s it money wise. I’ve been toying with the idea of a paid version but no clue if…
Really impressive work, love the runner app and looking forward to going through the code.
I had an idea for using a 3 button keybow for use with the Zwift app for navigation/power-up features.

#900Wishlist Page: https://wishlistpage.com/
Running it for almost 3 months, but didn't get enough traction yet. I pay $12 per month for the Heroku dyno and another $15 per month for the BTCPay server. Also investing many hours to make people sign up. The catch is that I only start making money when they make money because I take a percentage of each sale/gift.
