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.
