Show your work, and we’ll share our initial feedback!
Please, let’s make it a positive, constructive thread.
Kudos to the people that do though - these kinds of threads are very interesting to read.
Trying to keep it simple and tiny for now, would like to know what others think
+300Gb data updated monthly, for $7 besides what was already at home (internet, hardware).
ETL + Database + API in a raspberry pi 4. Frontend at Stremlit.io
It is available in a very early open-source version, which I will update at some moment if I see someone interested in it.
I would be very grateful if someone gave it a try to setup a project and provided some feedback.
It's a companion website for an upcoming game called The Bazaar, https://playthebazaar.com/
I'm hoping to become the wowhead for this game. Players use my website to theorycraft about the game both as they're playing and when they're idly musing.
It took me about three weeks to build what you see linked above and I get ~12k tracked pageviews per day, trending slightly upward right now. A lot of the effort was being the first mover and marketing aggressively to Reddit/Discord/Twitch until it spread readily by word of mouth. It's not a very defensible moat aside from being a household name, at least at the moment.
Crossing my fingers the traffic triples when the game exits beta, but who knows. I need to start running AdSense on it to recoup the Vercel costs, clean up the mobile UI, and implement some features that lesser known competitors have that I've been too lazy to follow up on.
It's certainly the project I've been least passionate about and yet have had the most success with relative to amount of effort committed. Funny how that works.
It will be completely open source from the start and support many languages other than JS.
It is in the very early stage of development, but it would be nice to know if anyone other than me is interested, and if you have any tips on what bothered you in other similar tools or things you would want on it.
At first, I wanted to build a full-fledged search engine but that endeavor was too ambitious, so for now it's just a simple daily email sent to your inbox every morning :)
