24 alternatives to Ad network for side projects has launched
I'm excited to have launched Tiny Ads. https://tinyads.io A privacy respecting ad network for side projects. It's an old idea (web rings) lifted for a niche. Tiny Ads wants to become a network of smaller projects by linking each other on their respected landing page. The ad will provide a standardized way to display projects across the web. Like a feed layer on top your web page. New users will find your project by hopping from page to the next. I hope to create a positive sum game here. 3 weeks ago I posted a here and got positive feedback. So, thank you. I took it from demo to…

Hey HN, manyminiapps is the world first massively multiplayer online mini app builder (MMOMA) *Here’s what it does:* You load the page.

Each mini app comes with it’s own database and backend, so you can build shareable apps that save data. *What’s different* There are a lot of app builders that promise you’ll build production software for others. But we think true production software can take a long time to get right. Even if you don’t need to program…
