Depends what you consider greenfield. 2 major projects were rewrites from scratch, but already had a user base/design for the old system.
13 other "full" projects on my portfolio, as in functional, pretty UI, designed from requirements with no designer, but not necessarily commercialized.
A bunch more other prototypes, probably more than a dozen. Some were hackathon tier, functional but purposeless. Some took months and were paid but didn't form into a proper product. Some were freelance projects from some hack who decided to step out. If you include dumb ideas that I get excited for 2 weeks, there are plenty of those too.
One active personal project that has 2000 monthly users. It took about 3 years to write the first line of code because I was trying to figure out the correct approach and didn't like the sketches. The first prototype was terrible. V7 was active since 2020 and has its fans.
