Interesting. Hadn’t heard of any existing that far back. Do you know if they generated revenue at all? What was it called?

More than that. It’s past proof of concept! Now to just build out the bits to get it to pass app review…

I’ll cross that bridge if I get there! That would be a great problem to have if it sees such interest/usage.
Keep in mind I’d only be storing comments and the references to where they’re posted. I don’t need to know the webpages ahead of time at all.

I’ve got a side project going that’s a browser extension (starting with Safari + Sign in with Apple) intended to add a comment layer to the internet as a whole. I’m calling it Chaffiti (https://chaffiti.com).
The idea is to enable a comment section on any webpage, right as you’re browsing. Viewing a Zillow listing? See what people are excited about with the property. Wonder what people think about a tourist attraction? It’ll be right there. Want to leave your referral or promo code on a checkout page for others? Post it.
Not sure what the business model will look like just yet. Just the kind of thing I wish existed compared to needing to venture out to a third party (traditional social media / forums etc) to see others’ thoughts on something I’m viewing online. I welcome any feedback!

I created a no-frills guest list management web app for social get togethers. You rsvp via sms and event hosts can broadcast any updates/reminders as needed. I got a little “dissatisfied” seeing group chats light up with “+1!” when plans were shared. Would be cool to enhance it and make it a business but [excuses here].
Here’s an example event: https://addyourself.to/it/c047e279-f5b4-4de8-9456-3fe71a77aa...

This line of thinking is exactly what got me down the path of building out Passbox fwiw.

That, or variations of it, have come up in discussions and it is interesting. It's not just you being tired, no worries.
Sadly (?) I'm not currently interested in going down that path, potentially against the law. Don't think I'd want to go bat on those grounds.

I like this take - especially relaxing the persona. Thanks!

I agree! That’s what I want to get across with the shareable results page:

I think it could use an additional reward component though...

Here’s an example results page if you’re curious.

Some buddies and I were talking about a similar site (https://whopaid99cents.com) that spawned the idea for this.
I found the original concept so absurd but amusing that I wanted to make my own version!! It’s been a welcome distraction as you can imagine and could be the basis for something more. Tbd...

Deployed on heroku with python/django, postgres and react. Stripe for payments too.

These are interesting to think about. Thanks!

This one's really silly but I got excited to build it out for my own entertainment.
It's called Who Paid More (https://whopaidmore.com) and the idea is pretty frivolous. Every day (EDT) you volunteer an amount you want to pay to see how your amount stacks up against others for that day. Think ranking and relative % across users for that period and the ability to share those results. Not much more to it at the moment.
I feel a little stuck trying to think of what would make it more fun/novel/rewarding besides just being curious about what people put money into.

OP here:
I found the above interesting for my own project but it got me wondering. What steps do you or people you know take today to handle digital inheritance?
