We're entering the age of personal software. Everyone who is motivated will have a catalog of unreleased custom software to solve their own problems. No need for support, no need for community management. It's often said that LLMs can get you to an 80% prototype very quickly but polishing to a public release is really hard and still takes a ton of time. Well, 80% is good enough for my own use, which means solving problems quickly, for myself.

I’ve taken the viewpoint that a domain is basically a cup of coffee per year in cost and static web hosting is literally free so have been putting a ton of stuff up. None of these have ads or make me any money, just listing here as an example of the ease of sharing;

tfmbot.com - an implementation of my favourite board game complete with ai that plays against you

thedailycheat.com - a save game editor for a game Newstower that was fun but a little grindy ao i asked ai to figure out the save game format and make this online save editor

grandcheaten.com - a guide and save game editor for jagged alliance 3

Basically all personal projects but i find sharing them out rewarding. Occasionally i’ll get abuse or large amounts of downvotes for daring to share ai generated content but, shrug, it’s useful to me and i’ve also had lots of messages of appreciation.

It is partially the result from chilling effects of hosting AI generated code on your public portfolio. Not worth the ire.

Absolutely! And who wants to deal with warts you couldn't even imagine but will likely encounter if project was github hosted, gained traction, and gets the typical commentary/requests/abuse from randoms.
