I also recommend the "app standup" as well - my side projects usually have a Telegram bot that sends me a daily message of performance, users, any cash generated etc... really does help keep the momentum going.

If anyone is curious, the source code of the now shutdown app is available on GitHub ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;PigCI&#x2F;App" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;PigCI&#x2F;App</a> ).

Roger, one consideration that could otherwise seem trivial or irrelevant is that the word “pig” is not free of connotations, and is not often used positively in many respects outside of pig-relevant contexts. It probably would have been OK in a farming or ore processing context, but without grounding for the joke it’s a rough sell.

&quot;however GitHub paused verifying applications in January. This really screwed me as the marketplace guidelines said I was not allowed to be listed on the GitHub marketplace if I offer a paid service outside of GitHub Marketplace.&quot;<p>Anybody knows the background on this screw-up?

Basecamp is pretty good for the stand-up perspective as well. There is a free version for personal accounts.
