Everything on the teenage engineering website, every product, everything is too creative. Loved it!


Same! loved the design and minimalism of the product.


We also launched a similar service in the past like 3-4 years back and trust me it doesn't work as you think. The problem is with the product-market fit. It is very hard to find the right people for your service and the fierce competition from all the major players makes it even harder. If you are truly involved in the service then don't wait for the people to find and reach out to you, instead try to find the right audience and reach out to them. I know it is tougher than saying. We've tried it but unfortunately, it didn't work as we planned and that's why we shut it down after just 6 months. Nevertheless, at least try it first. All the best.


Good to know that you had a try at this. Thanks for the insights. True, I agree on the part that finding PMF is the biggest challenge and on the other hand the distribution part. Unless, we find and do better than the other players in atleast one aspect such as quality or pricing, it would not be straightforward.


He can do what ever he wants, after-all he owns the platform. If you own the game, you always will get the first-turn to play.


I want to play something else.


Themes For App : https://themesfor.app It is a site where you can download free bootstrap templates for your side-projects. I've been running it for over 5 years now and earned zero out of it. First thing that I want to mention is that in the first place, it was not my primary intension to earn from it but from the start of this year I have started looking forward to monetizing it. At the moment it costs me $0 to run except the standard domain cost. But in starting it costs me $500+ for the ESP.


I'm currently curating Initiator Creator, https://initiatorcreator.com which is a newsletter for all the professionals like us. Also, exploring React-Next-Firebase based projects.


It's only me or someone also noticed that the logo looks similar to terra's logo


Do you mean Terraform? If so, then I suppose yes... both resemble a T :)

This should be an original logo though - not made by me, but made explicitly for this project by someone.


If you are not utilizing your skills to make something that can earn for you, like some tools or app anything.


Great collection! But there is one thing that I noticed. The loading of images on the landing page is slow. Also, it taking some hiccups while scrolling. Are you using some sort of sheet to site solutions like Pory or sheet2site?


Thanks! and yes I'm using Pory to convert the list I made in Airtable to this site. I've contacted Pory about the glitch so hope it's fixed soon. I'm amazed how no-code services actually works. I didn't write a single line of code for this project.
