I like making websites.

[Nathan @nathwhit]

Over the past 10 or so years I built a bunch of websites in my spare time that didn't go anywhere. The only thing I got really right was to learn how to build these things in NodeJS/Express, rather than LAMP.

I love making websites maybe a little too much because I got lost making shit for fun that I kind of knew would go nowhere.

It took me about 9 years to start thinking about making something useful that makes money.

Also, duplicate something that is working and put your own spin on it and make it faster, better or different. You are most likely not a genius who is going to come up with something new (I'm not and didn't.)

Below is a list of the sites I built that never really went anywhere.

Rondevu (anonymous facebook)
Note Follower (social network for following bank notes using their serial numbers)
My Coin Push (for sending notifications of changes in crypto prices)
Free Waste (ewaste processing)
Notizon (note taking website, hard lesson: don't do note taking)
Autograph Lab (for generating signatures)
JSON Bason (send in JSON and it turns it into a table)
Best Image Resizer (relatively successful, don't do image resizers as it is impossible to build brand loyalty)
Taskstax (Kanban board)
Medi (some AI medical advice thing)
EmojiAI (text to emoji and was DOA)

@skirano i dunno why but i find this really cool and sad at the same time, its like the era of the lone legendary human programmer is gone but at the same time anyone can create something awesome without much skill at all. suppose it frees us up to be more human

@romero including the null modem/network functionality in the shareware version was a great move and is one of the reasons I got into tech as a young kid in the mid 90s. I have bought id games as an adult because of the og shareware doom, piracy isnt always zero sum

@ID_AA_Carmack I went to school in north western Sydney, at the time it was one of the only schools to have a local network of Pentium PCs and a shareware version of Quake on a drive on their Netware server. After school Quake dm is one of my fondest memories. Thanks id for making the PC magic.
