Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?
pgredis - A server that talks the redis protocol to clients, and stores all data in a postgres database.
No regrets, I learnt a lot and had fun messing with it for a while.

Show HN: Make better decisions with fewer online meetings
I built something similar. It didn’t really work as a business (or at least I wasn’t able to make it work) so I open sourced it: https://github.com/async-go/asyncgo
If there’s anything useful there feel free to scavenge, or if you’d like to talk about what I learned trying to build it let me know.

Ask HN: Admittedly Useless Side Projects?
I made an async work collaboration app: https://github.com/async-go/asyncgo
I had been working at GitLab, pre-pandemic, for several years and I saw how writing things down was almost like a super power to enable async work. If you start with time zone distributed teams, writing things down in issues/docs just becomes the natural way of working. I also saw that lots of companies didn't really get it - and there was a leap of faith required to try it, because it didn't logically follow that if you write things down more you can have less meetings.
My idea was to build something that provided a really natural place to write things down, and I built and tried to sell AsyncGo as a place for making decisions in a written way. You'd set a topic, a context, and a due date, and then the magic would happen. In theory. The problem I had was that I couldn't find anyone to take the leap and try it. Companies who were interested in async already had some similar process, and the ones who needed it didn't get it and I never found a way to communicate it clearly.
In the end I shut down the hosted version and put an MIT license on it. I don't regret it exactly, I learned a lot making it, but I wish it had helped more people. There's other stuff out there now that's sort of similar, and it seems they are struggling a bit as well, so I don't think the market was really there (yet).
