Building for an audience of one: starting and finishing side projects with AI

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.

i really want to see the silly little side projects that everybody is making!

not because i think i'll actually use any of them, but because they could inspire me to do something different in my silly little side projects

the goal isn't "product release", it's elementary school "show and tell"

I’m in agreement with the blog post. I’ve been treating AI more like a tool and less like a science experiment and I’ve gotten some good results when working on my various side projects. In the past much of my time was taken up by research and learning the various little parts of how everything works. What starts as a little python project to play around with APIs ends with me spending 5 hours learning tkinter and barely making any API calls.

LLMs have finally freed me from the shackles of yak shaving. Some dumb inconsequential tooling thing doesn't work? Agent will take care of it in a background session and I can get back to building things I do care about.
