oh god...

botrank.pastimes.eu

Parses reddit comments looking for "good bot" or "bad bot" and keeps track of bot score. It's actually quite popular because it spams reddit when you write good/bad bot, where its not banned.

Lessons learned: Gets a few k hits a day, but that drops off if the bot doesn't spam reddit. Very fickle users. How do I monetize this?

stox.dev

A stock screener terminal with auto-complete. you can write things like:

filter profile.industry contains "auto"

filter quote.price < quote.priceAvg50 * 0.9

lowPe = quote.pe < 10 and quote.pe > 0

Lesson learned: No market for this or didn't do enough marketing. It was fun to build a mini grammar parser and learn how to use monaco editor although I wish I built a more formal compiler

chartit.io

Create simple charts in browser with data pasted from excel or csv. Basically typed out and exposed chartsjs and google chart library in UI

Lessons learned: I suck at SEO and marketing. Who actually wants to use this anyway?

deep-chats.com

Transcribe audio or video using aws speech recognition. Charge using credits.

Lessons learned: Again, unable to find customers. Got too far deep into the output editor and should have scrapped or scaled that down
