Unfortunately, demand for silly little side projects is at an all-time low.

I'm debating whether to share the one I'm working on at all. I made it for myself so maybe it should stay that way.

 help



i really want to see the silly little side projects that everybody is making!

not because i think i'll actually use any of them, but because they could inspire me to do something different in my silly little side projects

the goal isn't "product release", it's elementary school "show and tell"


Usually online communities have dedicated days for such things. Like a "side project Sunday" or such, with one large thread.

HN has that every day, and a dedicated section for it: Show HN. Link in the top bar :)

Yeah, but that's not the same, as most readers will just skip over that. What I said is more similar to HN's monthly "who's hiring" threads or "what are you working on" threads. Like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46937696. I find those much more interesting.

Me too! Maybe it should be called "Slop HN:" :)
