Promise

What it does

A social accountability app where you commit to goals with friends, stake real money, and build streaks together.

Stake $5–$100 . Hit your goal, get it back. Miss, your friends collect. The commitment device with real teeth. There's no random outcome, no house edge, no draw.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
