The HAMNIVERSE: 2024 Review

• High: Shares have been doing remarkably well, growing by ~2x in video (Shares)

• Low: Builds have been interesting but not gaining much traction (Builds)

• Seed: Enjoying my recent builds, more to come. (Builds)

Full Release Notes

Top Builds

• One Million Checkboxes - 1,000,000 checkboxes, shared by the internet.

• CloudCompare - Cloud pricing is confusing, often overpriced, and hard to compare. Fix that.

• Fullstack Projects - Sometimes I want to build smth but I don't know what to build. So I thought aggregating build ideas would help. It didn't. But I did learn how to generate 100k webpages with AI so there's that.

• Options Scanner - Every ~3 months I think I can beat the market by finding great options plays. I built a scanner so I can automate this process and ultimately remind myself I can't faster and with less effort.

• TravelMap - My first forays into HTMX. Glad I built it. Probably needs some improvements to be useful.

• CloudSeed - Continues to chug along. Released several small improvements but nothing big. Still how I start most of my web projects.
