About Side projects on FireLaunch
Things built on nights and weekends, shipped to see if anyone cares. The side-projects category is wide on purpose — pixel-art tools, retro game engines, indie utilities, hobby APIs, personal websites with a real angle, the entire weird middle of the maker internet.
What gets submitted
- ·Indie utilities and small free tools
- ·Hobbyist game-dev tools and assets
- ·Niche directories ('every $X under $Y, sorted by Z')
- ·Open-source projects with a real maintainer behind them
- ·Personal websites that double as products
- ·Browser extensions and small CLI tools
What makes a good side projects listing
- ◆Be honest that it's a side project. 'Built on weekends, shipped on Tuesdays' lands warmer than 'The next-generation X platform'.
- ◆Roadmap matters less than current state. What works now, today?
- ◆Free or pay-what-you-want pricing usually outperforms 'free for 14 days then $X/mo' for side-project audiences.
