I cannot say what I'm working on because it will be downvoted. Only pointless gimmicks which do not compete with the tech oligopoly can get any traction nowadays.
If I make a really good AI coding platform which saves people hours compared to existing platforms and provides more security. The chance of success is 0 because it's competing with incumbents.
If I make an app which allows cats to order food and back massages from their owners, this has a high chance of success.
This thread is about people hacking on code that gives them pleasure and maybe some monetary reward. People enjoy discovering others work. Whether your project gets traction is sort of irrelevant.
Personally I found this thread more interesting than the spew of AI or rust posts.
I assume there's a lot of people who might be interested in what you're coding even if it's taking on the incumbents of providing services to cats.
