I just finished shipping a weekend project that I really needed:

yt2brave[0], a MacOS app that automatically opens YouTube links in Brave Browser for a better browsing experience on YouTube (no ads). It's compatible for Safari, Google Chrome and Edge. It is magic.

I recently built a quick grammar fixer, leveraging the Alfred[0] MacOS app and OpenAI, if that counts for you. It's open source, and the demo video is cool: https://github.com/alfonmga/grammar-fix-alfred-workflow.

The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto

I have to admit that I fell into a rabbit hole, and I noticed that popular tools like fakerjs or gofakeit[0] did not meet my needs.

I needed to generate realistic-looking identities; the person's photo must match the gender, same for the age, the skin color of the person must correspond with the origin of the surname, the first name should be common in the targeted country, and the residential address must be real, among other things.

You would not use this for test data btw, a common use case for this would be for marketing or spamming operations where you need realistic data. My consciense does not accept the later however ;-)

P.S. Nowadays, these fake data generators are too woke to provide genderized first names..

Discourse[0] is a perfect fit for Windmill, IMO. Maybe I'm biased because I don't like Discord for this kind of project. Let the search engines leverage your project.

> it's significantly easier to sell someone a one-off product

That's true. I recently had more success in two months of working on one-off products than in 2-3 years of working on SaaS projects.


I would pay millions for an uncensored AI if I were super wealthy.


While ignoring the open models you could run yourself to similar or better result?


Seriously, why?


Sometimes you need someone to write really racy fan fiction for you.


you can't write an HBO show with the current one as you'll hit filters around violence and sex.

running your own will allow you to write anything


because you have millions to spare

Ohh, I remember AWStats from 2009 times or so. It's nice, but it doesn't solve what FullAnalytics does. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics [0] as an alternative to AWStats these days (it doesn't require inserting JS too).

If you're concerned about injecting third-party scripts into your website, you can use FullAnalytic's Zero Trust solution [1] to minimize risks.

Hi there! I'm Alfonso the creator of FullAnalytics.

FullAnalytics is a fully managed solution to prevent third-party website scripts like Google Analytics, Segment, Meta Pixel, and others [0] from being blocked by ad blockers. Depending on the industry FullAnalytics can recover up to 40% of previously blocked analytics data [1]. To enable FullAnalytics on your website, you only need to add a JavaScript snippet to your website's HTML code. That's all.

If you have any questions, please let me know here or by email at hello@getfullanalytics.com.

P.S. We don't like ads and annoying popups too. We want to help those who rely on analytics data (e.g., page views) to make decisions.

This seems like an arms race you won't be able to win. The adblockers will just adapt.


Yeah, it's a cat-and-mouse game.

But hopefully, with some of our features like dedicated proxy domains [0], FullAnalytics can prevail for some time :-)
