Job well done. If anything, more people should build their tiny projects in public and document their journey like you did. Dribbble used to be this place for designers, where a community came together to show work in progress and get feedback from one an other. (then it turned into a marketing platform). There isn't really something like that for tiny software projects. If there was, I would be checking in on a daily basis.

  Yeah I was going to suggest IndieHackers, plenty of tiny projects going on there.

    IndieHackers is great for business ideas, but I don't get a lot of value searching for projects there. Seems like a lot of their content is either plain old consulting (writing Wordpress plugins/themes, coaching, etc) or newsletters. Great profitable businesses, but not really intellectually enlightening projects like Tiny Projects.

Well your first tiny project could be a HN-alike for people to showcase their tiny projects. :)

  Does HN have a top level category like this? Something like: Show HN. Or must you do a search for it?
  - Jaruzel 6y ago
    Search I guess. 'Show HN' tends to be only commercial projects or really good side projects.

My school has something called devgarden[0] although it is more of a curation of student built project repo than a detailed site like tinyprojects. [0] https://devgarden.macalester.edu https://devgarden.macalester.edu

  This is fantastic! Do you know if there's an open source project/framework powering this site? Seems really valuable for powering inner-source and private developer communities.
