When I was first starting my game development career back in 2014, I read a very impactful article by Rami Ismail about the value of creating one game a week -- the idea being that by finishing a large number of small projects, you gain valuable experience that you might not get by working for a year on a single larger game and potentially never finishing it.

I started building one game a week in April 2014 and did this for about 6-8 weeks. It was the most enjoyable, creatively satisfying project I've ever worked on -- brainstorming a new idea each week and witnessing very tangible progress from an essentially blank project on Monday to an actual playable game on the following Sunday was a magical feeling.

So after releasing my first commercial game this past summer, I decided that as soon as I could fit it into my schedule I was going to spend some time working on a new one game a week project.

I'm going to be starting it in February and I'm so incredibly beyond excited!! I will be posting about it closer to the start date, but if this kind of thing interests you, please feel free to reach out -- I'm hoping some other people might join in and make games during the same time period. I'll be starting work on my week 1 game on Monday, Feb. 11th.

This year I'm going to release a SaaS. I've already create many website and saas, but the last one was 5 years ago, and all of them have mitigate results. Actually I'm working on it since August 2018, reading many many article and youtube videos on how to launch a SaaS product. So maybe this project will be ok.

I'm working on a service to identify underperforming releases of applications (by monitoring their speed and behaviors). It's an issue that is encountered in my current job when IT teams deliver many releases every day. I guess those reports will sound bad for some IT guys so I've call it PepperReport(.io)

Currently finishing my retrospective slack bot, it's my first product, so I am pretty excited to see what people say about it.

Also working on some startup in the cybersecurity industry. The vision we have is really cool, there is a lot of new stuff to learn for me and I feel that contributing to this project will make me a better web dev in general, but especially in understanding web security problems that big companies face. Working along with a somewhat veteran in that field feels really cool. Think when you last worked with a guy that was very passionate about the subject you worked on. Now, this is the type of my guy. A great story is about to unfold: )

I'm quite dissatisfied with my retro slack bot at the moment. I'd be very interested in an alternative! Reach out if you need a tester or just want a new user. My username at Gmail will get you to me.

I’m working on an algorithm to ingest utility RFPs, transmission line capacity, fossil generation capacity, land prices, and load center demand information, and solve for ideal locations for solar plants and their required size. This could have handed off to solar developers and their tax partners to best target renewable installations.

Is there enough accurate data to actually make this?

I haven't had any trouble yet finding volunteers at utilities or ISOs to confirm ground truth when in question. For-profit, investor driven utilities are a bit of a pickle but I can still get around that with EIA data.

I'm starting to develop whitepaper for a new blockchain project. It is identity proof system based on six degrees of separation idea.

I'm excited because I believe it can bring us to a more peaceful world.

Would be happy to hear your thoughts!

To start off; we have launched http://draftss.com last year. Using draftss we are launching more products and the latest one is GetFeedback where we are providing FREE constructive landing page UI/UX feedback.

Here are some of the things we are already working on:

1. Start providing free App feedback in Getfeedback (http://draftss.com/getfeedback)

2. Open-source SVG illustrations that founders can use for their landing pages.

3. Blog to ebook converter that exports any blog into a downloadable ebook.

Cool stuff!

I am launching my first SaaS in February. I started working on it last April. Its a simple but effective app in commercial real estate market. I am very excited to get the first 100 paid users, which I am very confident I can obtain in the first 6 months. Yet, I remind myself daily to not get emotionally attached to this app service, so if I need to pivot or shutter it, I will do that and not lose time by April 2019 (so it will be a 1 year develop, launch, grow, evaluate cycle).

Do you work in the industry? How did you manage to reach out and get your first interested users / customers?

I am working on an simple podcast app for Android. The main goal is to play and experiment with latest Android technologies, eg.: Kotlin, Architecture Components.

PocketCasts is kinda awesome, so - differentiate from PocketCasts right from the start. Be the anti-PocketCasts.

The next Facebook, but with privacy by design. Excited to reach all the Facebook users that want a seamless transition from FB account to the new service

I'd look forward to using it! I think Facebook has lost a lot of what made it fun too. It was a place to be mischievous. Now it's full of people using it for branding, whether professionally or personal.

Coding? Add billing and invoice generation to https://pepahana.com - a simple activity reporting tool I started last year. If I get motivated enough, maybe start on team and organization tools for it.

Non-coding? I want to write more. Lots more. Maybe finish a novel this year. That would be nice.

I am working on a nifty little app that shows you the top posts on indiehackers.com in your menubar.

We just recently launched an open source security key (https://solokeys.com), so this year I’ll focus on growing the e-commerce, getting better at rust, and learn more about hw manufacturing.

I'd like to launch Highlightify (https://highlightify.com) - a simple way to highlight and annotate web pages.

I'm trying to just really optimize productivity. See how much I can condense it. Be faster, cheaper, higher quality.

Release average 1 app/site a month, but get paid to build most of them.
