A bit of nostalgia. I just randomly stumbled upon this website that seems to be from another era - 1996 - pretty much the year I started to use the Internet and created my first website. Thought I would share :)
Hey HN. Being a solo founder, I decided I would write monthly updates so people can follow my journey, and I can make myself accountable on progress (if any!)
Thanks but I also have my own side projects / products, the goal with this would be to invest in something to get a decent return without all of the risk associated with creating something new!
I know of 1kprojects, Transferslot, flippa, empire flippers and FE international but it's a bit hard to sort through everything to find quality products
The problem is that if it is a really good quality product that ALSO makes some revenue, I doubt people are looking to sell on those sites. You have to go hunt yourself. Once in a while, you may be able to find a Gem on those sites but yea, most are not worth the time/money unfortunately if you are looking for something more than a simple side project.
FWIW I have multiple revenue generating businesses that I'd be open to selling for the right price, but IMO there's nowhere to list them that warrants my attention. I don't want to list my business alongside bunch of $0/MRR side projects asking $10k.
Hi Nadya, thanks a lot for the feedback and taking the time to test and upload screenshots, I appreciate !
About your first comment (words you know not coming back often enough) I think it's because most of the datasets I've added are too large. For Hebrew (which is the language I'm trying to learn at the moment - and why I made this website in the first place) there are smaller libraries with 30-50 words and the experience is much better. One thing I can do in the future is add ways to select smaller subsets of a dataset of just a few dozen words and just "play" with those.
1. I agree, I just implemented that
2. I had not noticed that, thanks, will improve
3. Yeah that's a tough one. It works ok for some nouns and not great for some other words / prepositions / adjectives. I plan to build something on top of it where users can say if pictures are not relevant / not helping, or they can vote on good pictures, perhaps upload or create another mnemonic. Perhaps adding exemples of sentences in context could help as well.
4. Just fixed it!
I leave every app where I have to log in before I can do anything. Please make something available for non-logged in users, it will help you spread your website.
I have just implemented a non-logged in way to use the website. There are a few features that will require a login (choosing its "preferred languages" and being able to see words you already said you don't know well, basically a better algorithm for displaying the next words
I like the idea. Maybe you could leverage Songkick API to support more cities ? (I moved to Tel Aviv recently and it's really hard to spend the time to find out which concerts are worth going to)
Ben from Songkick here and we'd love to work with you on this. If you reach out to me I'd be happy to sort you out with API access. ben[at]songkick[dot]com
It's a shame you decline any apps with monetisation ideas. I think it would be better to offer a paid API service a la Google APIs than to have so many engineers reinvent the wheel. Oh well, I guess the music industry and logical business models never did go hand in hand :/
Yeah, just wanted to ask if you use an API to get events?
I've been working on something in a similar direction for Vienna. Tried to get SongKick API access, but they declined me. I also used BandsInTown on a project, but it's a bit limited. These days I'm just using Facebook Events, which is ok, but not perfect – can't get all the events in a particular city automatically. Managed to manually overcome this though.
But great work! Tried the app out and I really like it. Followed you on Twitter if you want to keep in touch. Would be nice to have some MusicEventsHackers group to discuss these topics :)
