An agent harness that is kind of like airflow for agent tasks.
I thought open claw was cool but could never use something so insecure.
Each run is in a container. One network bridge out so everything from tool calls to model communication goes over the bridge.
Each run has a capability token and the host checks grants for the tools attempting to be called.
Core super thin and everything from credentials handling to model communication is a package.
Finally got it alpha and have some useful jobs set up like it triggering jobs on an alert channel in slack. Debugging it with tools like GitHub kube and our work mcp and the dropping a comment on every alert with the cause.
Still closed source but hoping to change that after some more testing.

I wanted some changes with my current fitness tracker like making my own custom workout so ended up making my own.

I always make side projects to learn new things and they periodically make me a small amount of money.
From most recent to oldest:
Https://brand-kit.net
Have not made money yet but just launched last month. Basically it is starter business branding at a very affordable price wrapped into a service.
Https://scrape.email
Launched at the beginning of the year and making around 100/month now. I used common crawl to index emails across the web monthly making it easy to find all emails for a given website.
Https://appdoctor.io
My most ambitious project from 2 years ago. Appdoctor is an app monitoring platform with automated tests, status page and a bunch of extra stuff..makes around 150/m now.

Man your telling me. I planned on spending 4 months on https://appdoctor.io and ended up launching it after 1 year and 2 months.

Nice, I like the simplicity around the solution and how easy it is to use.
Along with checklyhq mentioned in the thread if you are looking at comparing SaaS tools in the space check out my tool https://appdoctor.io
Although it does much more then just status checking it may fit someones use case with its advance tests or statuspages.
Re:Ask HN: One-person SaaS apps that are profitable?
on Friday April 19, 2019 @10:34PM (#19704498)
My saas https.appdoctor.io is barely profitable but that is mainly because of how cheap the infrastructure cost is(something I think helps a lot in 1 man/woman projects). I would agree with what others have stated though that I don’t recommend solo founding(looking for a co founder now). They don’t tell you that making an functioning application that is useful is less then half the battle to having a successful saas.

Yes. Here is to hoping it starts slowing down now that the development is done and I can automate some of the sales/marketing process.

As a solo founder of a SaaS launching next month, I tracked my time and am at 1350ish hour in the past 10 months. This is my first startup so I made some mistakes along the way with future creep so deadlines got pushed. I worked around 35 - 40 hours outside of my full-time job a week. Felt really burnt out so skipped one month of work 3 months ago but finally trying to get into the mindset of sales and marketing.
I do think though this is all entirely dependent on the scope of your project.
Re:GitHub launches Actions, its workflow automation tool

It mentions actions need to be private repos. So if I not mistaken free uses will not be able to use it.
