I’ve also been playing with Bun and I have a business idea that would be a good fit, and huge potential but I just don’t have enough time to start something new anymore.
I only get PO from larger companies, and I only do it if they’re buying a lot of seats, or if it’s a strategy customer
I built an interactive explorer for Kubernetes resources specA few things included:- Tree view with schema, type and description of all native resources - History changes since version X (properties added/removed/modified) - Examples of some resources that you can easily copy as a starting point - Supports all versions since X, including the newly released 1.32 - I also want to add support for...
Then I started sharing the progress on LinkedIn/X, my co-workers shared on their network too which also helped.
After 4 months I put a price on it and sold it with a 50% discount for early adopters. A lot of people bought it, which to me was a signal that I was into something that could become bigger if I invested more time on it.

Quora has been ranking really high on Google search recently, and I dislike the content and UX of their site so much that I actively avoid clicking on any Quora link.So I built this extension that removes their links (and any other domain you want - it's configurable!) from Google search results.It's free and open source. Install it and enjoy a cleaner Google experience :)
