Ask HN: A Non commercialized project for 2024

2 pointsby karanveerover 1 year ago
Greetings HN members<p>As 2024 is approaching I want to give back to the community of Internet users (HNers included) &amp; anyone who is selling: from products to services. Should I make this project available to the public? -&gt; https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;vlb6fMb<p>---PAST--- Compared to today&#x27;s link aggregation services and limited features hidden behind a paywall, I found the need to create a link aggregator that EXPLAINS my links as well as for selling my freelance services, to properly guide my potential customers. (NOTE: This was not the only reason, as I also wanted to build a fun web dev project of my own for myself.)<p>---PRESENT--- I&#x27;m building a hobby project for myself, it currently features: V1.0 --- - I can list your shop or products or services on one page along with a description of each link. - Since im into B&amp;W and not a color guy, It&#x27;s a dark minimalist layout. - I have a unique username that leads to my page. - A specific page looks like this, in this case, my username is imu4 . [https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;vlb6fMb] - planning a current limit of 50 links per user, or should I increase this? V1.1 - Analytics for: A. # of Clicks on each of my link(s)? B. # of users visited my page?<p>---<p>I wanted to ask, if this is something you would also be interested in and should I make it available to the public. If I do so, I have no intention of making it a commercial product nor forcefully charge anyone to use it.<p>In the event of publicly making it available, It will be limited to 100 people max, although if 10 people also show interest I might just make it public, limited to 100 people for now to understand what&#x27;s what and how things work.<p>If there are people interested, I will have to open a discord for this project to talk with them. I haven&#x27;t thought of a project name, I am open to naming suggestions as well.<p>Would you be interested in something like this or am I gonna waste time making it public?

Something like slashdot where you add a explanation to your post?
