Mine is OnlineOrNot: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onlineornot.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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&#x27;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&#x27;re curious:<p>2018: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;12&#x2F;31&#x2F;2018-review-starting-an-internet-business" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;12&#x2F;31&#x2F;2018-review-starting-an-inte...</a><p>2019: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;12&#x2F;29&#x2F;2019-further-reflections-trying-to-start-an-internet-business" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;12&#x2F;29&#x2F;2019-further-reflections-try...</a><p>2020: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;indiehacking-3-year-review" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;indiehacking-3-year-review</a><p>2021: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2021-strangers-paid-my-macbook" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2021-strangers-paid-my-macbook</a><p>2022: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2022-just-keep-shipping" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2022-just-keep-shipping</a><p>2023: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2023-focus-single-product-pays-off" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;maxrozen.com&#x2F;2023-focus-single-product-pays-off</a>

I’ve got two!<p>The first is CodeApprove (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codeapprove.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;gitguard.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;coderev.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;turas.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;turasapp&#x2F;lpfijfdbgohlblnadiokliolkkeeblpo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chromewebstore.google.com&#x2F;detail&#x2F;turasapp&#x2F;lpfijfdbgo...</a>

Here&#x27;s my long-term project:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codelantis.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.codelantis.com</a><p>It&#x27;s a code review application that helps you understand&#x2F;review&#x2F;discuss GitHub pull requests (or GitLab merge requests).<p>It&#x27;s not a simple AI wrapper, but focuses on the humans in the process ;)

I am building website analytics. I wouldn&#x27;t call it &quot;SaaS&quot;, because it&#x27;s not a service, but a product:<p>- UXWizz (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uxwizz.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.uxwizz.com</a>) - Self-hosted analytics with heatmaps, session recordings and A&#x2F;B tests<p>- WPLytic (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wplytic.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wplytic.com</a>) - Self-hosted WordPress Analaytics plugin

It&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;wirehub.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wirehub.org</a>

I have been running this by myself for 15 years, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;freeperiod.co.uk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;freeperiod.co.uk</a>, while working fulltime (with my employer&#x27;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’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:&#x2F;&#x2F;streamrun.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;offthebricks.com&#x2F;Apps&#x2F;FormX&#x2F;index.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;offthebricks.com&#x2F;Apps&#x2F;FormX&#x2F;index.htm</a>

After realizing I spent 10% of my work week in agile meetings, I built <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teaminal.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;teaminal.com</a> to let us do those rituals asynchronously.
