  2. Magny is a navigation, universal search and helper for apps in order to help users understand app features better and onboard faster, with a focus on increasing user experience.
    Pricing:
    I am working on Magny [1] for the last 5 months. It is a universal search service, like a command palette. For those who don't know what a command palette and how SaaS companies use it, refer to [2]. Basically, you sign up for the service, integrate in your SaaS app, add commands and your users will be able to reach to actions/documentation/menus easily with Cmd-K. The biggest hurdle is that there are several command palette libraries [3] but not many (even not a handful) services, hence we are trying to build something which is fairly new to others. The platform is based on PostgreSQL, Nodejs, GraphQL and React Native, running on AWS. We were supposed to announce it on December but decided to build a few more (required) features after talking to several product managers.

  4. DevCycle helps modern product engineering teams release code faster and safer.
    Last year we set out to create an ultra fast and extremely cheap Feature Flagging solution -- https://devcycle.com We pulled it off, and it has been growing and working great for those using it. This year I personally want to expand the tool to be beyond just feature flagging/management, but potentially make it a deeper part of the development lifecycle with realtime quick glance statuses of features (is it actually live in prod or just 'on' in prod for a few users?), or having a deep integration with datadog. Depends on what devs are looking for really, but we have a base direction to start with!

  5. Backend code generator for backend API services - create your next backend in seconds
    I plan to work more on API Bakery [0], my project generator service. The thing works but looks and feels barebones, and I also need to focus more on marketing (which, as a techie, is a thing I avoid the most). I also plan to get more hands-on experience with the current state of the art AI - probably more prompt-engineering level than pytorch level, but I do like to dive in so who knows.

    I'm continuing with my domain parking tool Newsy https://newsy.co It's a modern take on domain parking (I know I know) that I'm using for my own ~50 domains. I will most likely also be re-working on SideProjectors - a marketplace for buying and selling side projects. https://www.sideprojectors.com I am also about to launch HN+ (Create your own HN!) https://hn.plus.
