I'm pretty sure that https://bazqux.com/ is a one man project.

I built a service to check if websites, APIs and web apps are online, or not: https://onlineornot.com

I write about German bureaucracy for immigrants. I started in 2017, and went full time in 2020.

When it gets boring I take time off and work on something else, or build software that supports the content.

I feel like this is the future I want as well. So I guess I'll just start building something and see if it sticks.

I heard about https://tiiny.host from a podcast episode. A boring pdf hosting site that grew to offer more services. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2dZUDBsZW9EOo2G61ZaTpM?si=W...

I run one: https://notionbackups.com

Arose from the problem I and others had previously. Have been building it on the side, while doing consulting; finally went full-time last month.

I think http://projectionlab.com/ is a one man show, love this for my finances.

Even supports self hosting and data exfiltration, so if he ever gets bored I can use it where he left off

Hi. It's me. I'm the problem.

Thanks Taylor.
