Side Project

Yessir, I use my side project consistently, from turning on my MacBook until it's turned off. - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/funkey-mechanical-keyboard-app/id6469420677

Yes, I am using my keyboard first ChatGPT Toolkit every day.

Have a look: https://schmedu.com/tools/chatGpt 😅

My side-project - https://pomotastic.com/

Pomotastic is a Pomodoro timer online that works right on your desktop or mobile browser. The aim of this web app is to help you focus on your work or study in a more productive way. The Pomodoro Technique is used for that.

I use it almost every day, except Sunday since I don't work on Sundays. It helps me stay focused on my work and have short breaks regularly.

Every day! Tatask is a task management app I designed specifically for my own workflow.

I released it online after building it for a weekend project and others seemed to like it so I kept improving it and turned it into a fully-fledged project.

I use my project pretty frequently

https://mmapickems.com

Fun project that lets ppl make picks for upcoming MMA fights and compete on a leaderboard against friends or the world

I've ran my agency for over a decade using our product [AnyHow] (https://anyhowhq.com). We use it to manage internal and client facing collaboration as well as general business and project (financial and reporting side anyway) management.

Unfortunately the product never took off. We have some customers but no where near enough to make it sustainable. I pay to keep it updated because it's that valuable to us and the company.

I build graphcraft to build apis faster, pretty much use this in every project.

I use my tool to save and timestamp some reddit posts about certain topics. It's save in multiple countries, on multiple computers. That way, if reddit decides to remove my content, it will be saved, and timestamped.

I’m probably the odd one out but I don’t use my product every day. Maybe once a week. I’m also not saying this as a self promo, and I don’t necessarily think using your product frequently means you’ve made a good one. You’ve just made a good enough product for yourself. Which, end of the day may not be what the wider market wants.

yes I use it almost daily, I made a journaling app called memoiri and I made it because of two things: privacy, I want all my data on my device, and because of simplicity. I want an app that I simple open up and can start writing down

Yes I actually created keywrds for myself. It originally was just a collection of Python scripts to automate keyword research.

It turned into what it is today because I realized that there was real demand for something like this.

Yup. I created my app GameButler because I wanted a very specific way of tracking my video games.

My project: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/talli-voice-of-the-public/id6452385622

100% agree OP! I use it daily and truly that’s the only way to get better and iterative improvement especially when you’re trying to bootstrap a consistent user base.

I agree with this and I have reached the point where I literally cannot use my computer without my own product

It's now my main project, but very early on, I installed Wafris (a Web Application Firewall that lives in your framework) - https://wafris.org - on all of my other hobby and business sites.

Every morning, I check the reports and then post the findings to all the usual social networks. It's helped to crystallize the value that it's providing. It's helped to sell the practical real world value of the app (more than just a feature list) and it's almost like each post is a mini case study in how it could help others.

My project: Tweera

I'm planning on using my product myself after I get some customers

I use https://blazorise.com/ in all my project. Be it for personal, in house, or for clients.

I'm using my product NexusRunDB (https://www.nexusrundb.com) in my next product NexusRun API NoCode Tool (https://www.nexusrun.com)

I do! Much more than anyone else. I have a browser extension that simplifies text online.

I read a lot of articles, so I find it really useful

https://simplifyextension.com/

Yes! I build home offices and I work from a home office I built :)

Yes, I built this website to practice English: https://dailydictation.com

I’ve been using it almost daily since 2019, now it has around 150k monthly users :)

So far mine is just a fb page but technically I'm using it because I look at it. I'll comment when I get engagement.
https://www.shecharms.io, but the idea is it will lead to a group that supports each other on github and LinkedIn to work on projects together. I'll participate in it too but mostly I'll be using it to cheerlead others.

My project: Gimli Tailwind - The most popular extension for Tailwind CSS

Yes, a bit. I wish I could use it at work but they don't use tailwind :/

A little bit. My company is too small to need my product but we use it even where we don't need it in order to dogfood it.

Absolutely, I useFlexmonster Pivot Table and Charts all the time. It’s part of our CRM system and it helps us keep track of everything from leads to working hours to salaries. This data helps us monitor sales, revenue, expenses, and other key metrics.

RightJoin.co - its a mock interview app , and Im actively working on it- but i use it as a learning tool to learn about a new technical topic via QA format.

In the Interviews section, i have a 2 way AI loop where AI asks the question and AI can answer the question as well :)

This is possible in ChatGPT but I need to ask the right questions. but what if i don't know enough to ask the right questions?

So in RIghtjoin, i can put in any niche topic and have the 2 AI's interview each other, and I can learn something in the process with 0 prompting

Yes i built this formyself and adding new features and using it everyday https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dquest/chefkapebbalealkmddchbpgeffnjaio

Yep, every hairstyle or beard style (coming soon) I add to aihairstyles.com goes through rigorous testing. Because bald is listed first I have hundreds of images of me as a bald man 😂

Yes! I literally use all of my side projects, that’s why I make them in the first place!

Yep, I journal every day and created KnownWell cause I wanted more insights on what I journal about.

Yep, I definitely am.

I've created a personal page https://onee.page/nick with my product Onee Page. And share it at my socials. And use it quite frequently.

Meanwhile I can't say that it is an axiom, right? There're gazillions of stratupers that do use their own products and they are still not work. Or there're tens of product managers and/or executives that don't use the products they are working on either and they stay successful.

Yes, I primarily built Dial-a-Phone for myself because I got tired of typing phone numbers into my phone every time I wanted to call a place I was looking up on my PC.

Several times a day at work and at home. Mainly to connect to servers via RDP or SSH or to troubleshoot problems in the network.
Using it myself is the best way to find errors and improve it further.

my side project: -> FutureForge
it's a fire calculator webapp

Basically, whenever I get any additional income or get an increment, I check for it. also, whenever I explain fire to anybody, I show them in the webapp

Yep!

I’m a big podcast listener. I often try to find episodes by topic so I can upskill or listen to very specific things, but discovery is terrible.

I’m building https://www.podengine.ai/ to solve that problem.

We transcribe and run ML daily on most the top business and tech podcasts. Continuously expanding our catalogue and improving our recommendations engine.

So now you can choose topics you care about and optionally any keywords you want to track (eg your name, brand name, etc), and you get a free weekly email curating it all for you.

This week alone we’ve had a famous tech founder and a Netflix series host sign up to be alerted when they’re mentioned in podcast episodes.

It’s super fun solving our own problem. Turns out the podcast world is a beast too and I’m learning a lot about the publishing and advertising side daily.

Yes, I definitely use mine very often. I am building an open-source framework for AI in Java, which will rely on jndarray-toolbox, which is another project of mine which I’ve very recently open-sourced

It’s a good question. Sometimes we want to get users so much that we forget to use our product from the user’s view. Recently I became obsessed again with my product and even forget to push the changes to the website;)

I use smry.ai (tool to get past paywalls) pretty much every day. Not so much for some of my other side projects.

As a developer working for a company, and an open source developer, I have to deal with lots of pull requests. So I created a PullBar, an open source macOS app to show github PRs. Later on I created a better version - PullBar Pro. I use it literally every day.

My products are taranify.app & JekyllPad.com and i use them all the time.

Yes for sure. I built a UI component repository platform: UiHub. Building my own collection of UI components for all my projects. haha.

Just recently added AI Agent that allows me to create a library of copy-and-paste friendly tailwindcss ui components. It has been awesome for some of the clients work. Still in the early stage, but working on improvement!

I am building https://contennt.xyz and yes I am gonna use it!
