Release early, release often. Don't worry, be crappy. Fail fast. Iterate.
Show us your half baked, not really ready for prime time projects.

#3I'll start with a project by my friends:
FXcursion is an STM32-based guitar processor prototype. It has 3 stereo inputs and outputs, builtin effects chain, looper and recording. It lacks proper user interface (we've found a designer last week, so it's in the works now!), and the hardware still needs a lot of changes, but I've been impressed with the progress so far.

#4I am participating in a competition of a wannabe IT guys when some mentor is searching for one such a student. I have summed exactly his proposal which he has published in Russian and all my work and I have ended up with a 19-page whitepaper 6 pages of which describes my original tradebot idea, in English of course. If you know how real tradebots work feel free to help me to enrich my understanding. Current status of my participation is waiting for the day when the winner will be defined.

#6I'm working on an LLM-based tool to assist with fiction writing. The goal is to help writers get unstuck in case of writer's block, not to do autonomous writing.
One has to enter some abstract of what they want to write, and some text they have so far, and the tool generates possible continuations.
It requires quite a bit of editing, maybe 3-4 attempts for each completion if one wants to generate decent text. Feedback was mostly positive from a dozen or so professional writers who tried it out for a day.
I feel that it generates more naturally looking text than ChatGPT with the typical prompts.
See my profile if you want to try it out. You can use the demo without registration.

Nice project!
Demo doesn't work for me in Firefox for some reason – I can't type anything into the “Start typing...” field.

#8I want to create an intelligent CRM that gets users from your database automatically, and categorizes each user with behaviors. Do you think it is a good idea? I talked with some users but they are choosing traditional CRMs over mine. Is this a wrong positioning or just the idea doesn't solve any problems? Thanks!

You know, in some countries, people are using Whatsapp a lot to do b2b. I don't know any CRM integration with it that could segment/classify customers using the app.
