Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
Over Covid, I got really into solving the Rubik’s cube. I couldn’t find any minimalistic apps to help me time myself and learn algorithms. So, I ended up writing an app for myself, which I later showed off on Reddit.
People really seemed to like the design, so I cleaned it up a bit and made it available to everyone. The site (https://cubedesk.io) has been free to use for 3 years and has 50k users.
Most recently, I've been working on an email marketing platform to help me email those 50k users. I noticed that emailing all those people was expensive and tedious, so created and launched https://cc.dev

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Idk if this counts but I built myself a Rubik's cube timer and eventually made it public:
https://cubedesk.io
It was a weekend project which I used for several weeks before sharing it on Reddit. The feedback was so good I decided to make it public.

Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
https://cubedesk.io - the chess.com of Rubik’s cubes
I started this as a side project about two years ago and now it has about 1k daily active users. Users time themselves solving the Rubik’s cube, practice on the trainer, and 1v1 others.
Technically, it’s generating some money from the Pro feature, but not enough to run the servers. So I pay out of pocket every month. It has a lot of fans and supporters so I’d never shut it down, but it’d be nice to at least break even.

Ask HN: How many of you are self employed?
Started 10 years ago as an open-source project, building an algorithm for audio fingerprinting. Added a commercial offering, selling storage built specifically for audio fingerprints, targeting enterprise customers. Since the offering was too technical (it's hard to sell solutions to problems that are too narrow and domain-specific), pivoted to more "business-oriented problems". This last year's pivot is a chance to finally grow. Running a business in single-player mode is, at times, too stressful. Aside from the technical part, which I very much enjoy, I need to wear marketing, sales, and customer support hats.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
The OP said elsewhere they are using this[1] library, which allows you to specify minimum seconds to match, so you'd presumably set it to match 20 seconds or whatever minimum length podcast commercials usually are.
Most other audio fingerprinting libraries I've seen allow you to specify min/max time, as well.
HTH.

- [P] Is it feasible to find a mapping between two non-synthesized audio signals of the same audio sequence?

HN: == Happy New Year HN == (What is your “plans” for the new year?)
My goal for the next year is just to work fewer hours. Covid pushed my work habit to the extreme, and I need to rebalance.
1. Read more books, less social media/news.
2. Spend more time with my friends. I haven't seen some of them IRL for more than a year.
3. Exercise more, play tennis with my daughter, spend quality time with my kids.
4. Spend more time with my parents. They've become visibly older in the last years, an observation that scares me.
5. Focus more on marketing for the businesses that I've bootstrapped. All the shiny new features that are developed are not as important as getting more people to use your product.
6. Promote open-source project to 1k GitHub stars[1]. I know it isn't very meaningful, but it's just nice to receive a bit of recognition from the community.
7. Enjoy life, don't stress about all the little things that happen along the way.
Happy new year!
