Impressive 25-week shipping streak, though the site itself is just a project directory.

Strengths

  • •Retro brutalist design creates a cohesive, nostalgic identity across all linked experiments.
  • •Projects like Begbot and WTF 2012 show deeper technical experimentation underneath.
Weaknesses
  • •The landing page adds no new utility beyond linking to previous experiments.
  • •Most individual projects are novelties with limited long-term use cases for visitors.

Post Description

I ran an experiement the past ~6 months. I challenged myself to build and ship 25 projects in 25 weeks.

I just launched my 25th project, which is a simple site to encourage others to do their own 25-week challenges.

I aimed for the Moon and my goals were:

- Grow my newsletter to 10k subscribers - Get 10 million unique page views across all 25 projects - Make at least $2k a month after the challenge

What were the results?

- ~550,000 unique page views - ~1,0000 subscribers to the newsletter - I've only made a whooping ~$1,1000 total (ooof) - A lot of press for my big project channelsurfer.tv - I guess I'm kind of slightly more known as a guy who creates weird stuff

Overall, it was a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. I'm a senior engineer already, but I learned more this past 6 months than probably the last 3 years on the job.
