in the age of LLM-built side projects... what's the right venue for sharing these things with other people?

i feel like the expectations for a "Show HN" project are too high for a passing around a silly little toy that I had the robot throw together. product hunt is for things that are actual products/businesses. so maybe you throw it in a targetted subreddit for a niche interest group?

seems like there should be a marketplace for silly little side-projects, but i'm not sure how you keep it from getting overrun

Unfortunately, demand for silly little side projects is at an all-time low.

I'm debating whether to share the one I'm working on at all. I made it for myself so maybe it should stay that way.

Consider Tiny Tool Town? "A place for stupid-delightful tools made with love."

I shared this tool for remembering recurring tasks on LinkedIn: https://github.com/kristiandupont/balls-in-the-air and it got quite a bit of attention.

No login or signup is required so it's very easy to try out and quite fun to play with, which probably helped. I think the time people are willing to invest in something before getting some sort of reward is approaching sub-second territory.

There are places like r/sideprojects but as with all non-niche boards it can get crowded pretty fast.

I’ve often thought about standing up a subreddit specifically for side projects but with the proviso of:

- No sign up

- No ads

- No subscription/payments of any kind

Open-source is welcome but optional.
