The first version of https://indieblog.page/ took about a weekend. My pastebin with line commenting https://commie.io/ was also a weekend project. Heck even the first version of DokuWiki was done on a weekend, but that one still isn't done...

MicroLaunch.net

The very first MVP early version of https://microlaunch.net took me a weekend, then perfected it and put it in the hand of beta testers. The whole idea to launch took a month.

Tournacat

I made an add-on that syncs esports schedules to my Google calendar. The first iteration took me a weekend and the current iteration has over 100 users at https://tournacat.com/.

FindMyArea

Not the OP, but I've actually made something like that to help people figure out where to live in London based on the criteria they care about -- here it is https://findmyarea.co.uk/?search_type=areas Would be great to see similar tools for other cities!

Feedback Fish

With three friends, we built and launched a SaaS product over a weekend and live-streamed ourselves doing it[0]: https://feedback.fish It was a ton of fun, about 1,000 people tuned in over the course of those ~60 hours. The product was acquired about a year later. [0]: https://productweekend.live.

Teeny

I think it took me less than a day to put Teeny (<a href="https://github.com/yakkomajuri/teeny">https://github.com/yakkomajuri/teeny</a>) together, which is the static site generator that's powered my website for almost three years. I never touched the code again after that.
