What solo builders actually shipped
Every project here was built by one person. Each page carries the part the launch sites leave out: why they built it, what it cost, what they used, and whether anyone is paying.
We re-check every link each week and mark the ones that died. Most directories never look back.

Deploying to Vercel: the parts that catch people out

Programmatic SEO for side projects
Generating thousands of pages is the easy part and the part that gets you ignored. How to decide what deserves a page, and what to put on it.
