seeing how far 1 person project can go with Zigpoll: https://www.zigpoll.com

Crossed over 100K MRR and I'm shooting for 2M ARR by the end of the year. Growing something in this stage is totally different from making it go from zero to one so it's an interesting learning curve. AI has also changed the calculus as well where it seems less crazy to try and do this sort of thing. Time will tell!

I've been thinking a lot about soul cultivation as a concept, and the general structure of the soul, and doing a bit of writing on the topic. I feel like this topic is surprisingly under-discussed and under-explored relative to how impactful it is. By soul I mean "the part of you that is an observer", in case this isn't clear. I think a lot of discourse gets caught up with metaphysical speculation instead of focusing on what is there and what is knowable.

Most recently I was also probing people about how they conceptualize of the soul, making my own drawings, and asking others for drawings. If you have a few minutes I would also be interested in seeing how you would draw a soul, given pen and paper or equivalent materials. It often feels like for a lot of people the concept of the soul gets comingled with very confusing definitions.

There's a general problem where certain concepts become so overloaded that just disambiguating and clarifying what is meant becomes a challenge. I will note that if your first thought or question is whether the soul is even real, you might be confused about the definition or we might be referring to different concepts.

Been building a file manager for almost four years that combines the best of Notion and Obsidian while remaining a competent file manager in the process. It's called Phials.

Not technically released even though the site is live, but close enough to a beta at this point.

I am building on a publishing platform that aims to go against some of the tide.

Strictly human content, pagination instead of endless feeds, one-off payments instead of subscriptions, linear feed by default, public profile scoring instead of secretive algorithms.

Hope to share it soon around here, too.

Mainly https://www.vaava.app/ is a baby tracking/logging app I originally built for myself, now available on both app stores. All the user generated data is stored only on device and is transferred in local network to users who you have paired the app with. There is 0 behavioural analytics, even the crashlytics are 100% optional.

There is a couple of semi-unique features; you can use your voice to dictate and generate events (feeding, sleep etc), you can also scan documents for growth measurements.

You don't need user account to use it, there is no subscription, the paid features are available behind a single purchase for lifetime. Still, like 90% of the features are available for free.

Also https://www.athilio.com/ privacy focused, highly customisable personal data analytics for your Oura, Garmin, Polar and Apple Health (ios port coming soon). Of course there is couple of AI features (with a single switch to turn all off), originally those were built just so I would learn how to embed agents in sw products myself. The whole app was originally built for personal use to fix missing features in the manufacturers own platforms: - Period over period comparisons (this month vs this month last year) - Comparing different metrics - Customizable graphs and other widgets - And of course combining the manufacturers metrics (oura for sleep, garmin for training etc etc) Existing solutions for this kind of software seem to have focus on social (strava), or coaching (training peaks), or they are just straight up crazy expensive with their paid tier (both tp and strava for example).

https://www.asnotes.io - a Foam / Dendron / Obsidian / Logseq alternative with tasks, kanban board, static site publishing for VS Code https://www.agentkanban.io - Github Copilot / Claude Code integrated Kanban board with context management https://www.asmusictheory.com - Music Theory lessons, tools, including piano roll with midi in the web browser

awesome, your notes and music theory apps are very close to two of my hobby projects as well, the main difference is that my music app is guitar-centric

unfortunately, I did not have the time to pursue them. good luck to you!
