Ask HN: What’s your side project? (June 2020)

6 points by SomeoneAtHN 6y ago

Please post a link to your project. But more importantly, share a story behind it. I think that’s the more interesting part!

dang mentioned in this thread[1] about a monthly side project thread. But I haven’t seen one for June, so I thought I’d post one. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23170881 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23170881

Contextualise (https://contextualise.dev/ https://contextualise.dev/), a personal and collaborative knowledge management tool. It’s open source: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise. With Contextualise, I am really scratching my own itch. That is, I am developing Contextualise for my own needs: I am using the application to structure and document the development of Contextualise itself but also as a tool to organise and document my other hobbies and research projects. Although, as mentioned, I am developing Contextualise for my own needs, I really do hope that other people find it to be useful for their own purposes.

Fruition (https://fruitionsite.com https://fruitionsite.com) - Build your next website or blog with Notion, for free. Notion has taken over the tech/design industry by a storm, and many people have used it to create web pages. However, Notion doesn’t allow custom domain and the page URL contains a long uuid (for example: https://www.notion.so/The-Beauty-of-Notion-4663b221fd154c07bb6f826b537bfcd4 https://www.notion.so/The-Beauty-of-Notion-4663b221fd154c07b...) I built Fruition to solve exactly that. You can use a custom domain and add pretty URL slugs like https://fruitionsite.com/showcase https://fruitionsite.com/showcase. You can also add custom font and scripts like Google Analytics. It’s all free and open source. I shared this on a couple of Notion communities a month ago, and 30000 people have checked it out since. Hundreds of sites have been built with Notion and Fruition.
