Mine is OnlineOrNot: <a href="https://onlineornot.com" rel="nofollow">https://onlineornot.com</a><p>What started as a week long project to experiment with uptime checking with Next.js and AWS Lambda turned into a multi-year project (approaching 4 years now).<p>It now covers a much wider use case (status pages, uptime monitoring for websites, APIs and cron jobs).<p>I'm thinking of hiring folks to grow it more, but the workload is still under two hours a day, before work.<p>I wrote about the journey to get here, if you're curious:<p>2018: <a href="https://maxrozen.com/2018/12/31/2018-review-starting-an-internet-business" rel="nofollow">https://maxrozen.com/2018/12/31/2018-review-starting-an-inte...</a><p>2019:

I’ve got two!<p>The first is CodeApprove (<a href="https://codeapprove.com" rel="nofollow">https://codeapprove.com</a>) which is my attempt to bring the best code review experience to teams on GitHub. It’s heavily inspired by the excellent tooling I saw within Google (Critique, for Googlers out there). Been running this solo for 4+ years and I have a very modest base of paying customers.<p>The second is GitGuard (<a href="https://gitguard.dev" rel="nofollow">https://gitguard.dev</a>) which is a flexible rules engine for GitHub PRs. Basically a supercharged version of GitHub’s branch protections and code owners tools that uses a super simple “language” (basically a Boolean logic builder) to let you define your team’s approval policies in a very flexible way. Ex: “if the PR contains over 10 files or 200 lines and doesn’t contain any test files, require approval from someone in the tech-lead group”
I have two:<p>- CodeRev.app (<a href="https://coderev.app" rel="nofollow">https://coderev.app</a>): a free, open source tool to help teams that want to organize code reviews as part of the interview process.<p>- Turas.app (<a href="https://turas.app" rel="nofollow">https://turas.app</a>): A PWA and Chrome Extension[0] that helps well-organized travelers plan their trips using Google Maps<p>Both have been works of passion (the latter used personally to plan all of my own trips).<p>[0] <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turasapp/lpfijfdbgohlblnadiokliolkkeeblpo" rel="nofollow">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turasapp/lpfijfdbgo...</a>
Here's my long-term project:<p><a href="https://www.codelantis.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.codelantis.com</a><p>It's a code review application that helps you understand/review/discuss GitHub pull requests (or GitLab merge requests).<p>It's not a simple AI wrapper, but focuses on the humans in the process ;)
I am building website analytics. I wouldn't call it "SaaS", because it's not a service, but a product:<p>- UXWizz (<a href="https://www.uxwizz.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.uxwizz.com</a>) - Self-hosted analytics with heatmaps, session recordings and A/B tests<p>- WPLytic (<a href="https://www.wplytic.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.wplytic.com</a>) - Self-hosted WordPress Analaytics plugin
It's not a saas but a tool to create, manage and share wireguard configs.<p>You define networks, add devices, label them, and create access rules based on those labels so that working with addressess and allowed ips is more user friendly.<p>Then you can create invites so that sharing the configs with the right people or machines also becomes much easier.<p><a href="https://wirehub.org" rel="nofollow">https://wirehub.org</a>
I have been running this by myself for 15 years, <a href="https://freeperiod.co.uk" rel="nofollow">https://freeperiod.co.uk</a>, while working fulltime (with my employer's knowledge).<p>September is busy as there is a bit of work to do for the new school year.<p>The key learning for me is that people will pay you to solve a problem and that problem does not need to be rocket science.
I run a browser extension that crawls websites for SEO problems:<p><a href="https://www.checkbot.io/" rel="nofollow">https://www.checkbot.io/</a><p>I'm working on an MVP for a tool for creating WCAG accessible color palettes as well:<p><a href="https://www.inclusivecolors.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.inclusivecolors.com/</a>
I’m building Streamrun, a platform for live streamers to do things that are not possible directly on their devices, like switching RTMP input mid-stream, adding HTML overlays to GoPro streams, or ensuring uninterrupted stream out in poor network conditions.<p><a href="https://streamrun.com" rel="nofollow">https://streamrun.com</a>
Universal form, checklist, or evaluation. The app is mostly ready at an MVP level, so need to think about what the server side looks like.<p><a href="https://offthebricks.com/Apps/FormX/index.htm" rel="nofollow">https://offthebricks.com/Apps/FormX/index.htm</a>
<a href="https://hanzimatic.com" rel="nofollow">https://hanzimatic.com</a><p>It is a website that helps you learn Chinese vocabulary in context. You can upload articles, novels, etc. and it will generate flashcards with full audio based on your current level of knowledge.

After realizing I spent 10% of my work week in agile meetings, I built <a href="https://teaminal.com" rel="nofollow">https://teaminal.com</a> to let us do those rituals asynchronously.
<a href="https://meetingglass.com" rel="nofollow">https://meetingglass.com</a> - Easy long video meetings with the ability to hide behind virtual frosted glass.
Kurivei (<a href="https://kurivei.com" rel="nofollow">https://kurivei.com</a>) a biology test preparation site for Indian students. At MVP level as of now.
I have a few:<p>- a personal ad blocker<p>- an LLM UI design copilot<p>- a salary transparency tool<p>Next one isn’t a SaaS, but working on a single player web game
