I try to limit how much I work on it now to mostly just maintenance work

… I try to limit how much I work on it now to mostly just maintenance work. I'd rather work on other stuff. If I started making money that'd just be a number to obsess over, and, honestly, it's never going to make enough money to replace my salary as a software engineer.

Not sure about anyone else, but I enjoy seeing the posts on side projects making money. Often while reading all of the comments I find new products or services I want, so I buy them and contribute further to that hustle's success. But for every hacker making $100 or more per month with their idea, there are hundreds more working hard, making nothing, struggling to get started. Does that describe you? Maybe the community just needs to hear about what you're offering, what you've been working on. If you've got something cool that has not yet gained traction, maybe it just needs to be seen by a gaggle of like-minded hackers and geeks. So share!

This is cool, really dig the text look. Reminds me of https://wttr.in/ . I would love to see more of these text-based sites.

In similar spirite, when the world cup was going on I used https://worldcup.cole.ws/ a lot to check on it. Much better than all other sites.

I use it every MLB season and love it! Thank you for your work. Baseball is the perfect sport to go plain text, it already works really well over the radio etc.

I've been using your site daily during the MLB season, the design is perfect. If you displayed a plain text advertisement I wouldn't even mind.

Really love the site. Is there a way to view multiple football/soccer leagues (i.e. Premier League (PL) and Champions League (CL)) at once? I know you said you're just maintaining the website, but if there were a simple way to follow a team, that would be a really nice QOL addition. That way I could follow a PL team and see their CL matches as well without having to switch between pages on the website to make sure I don't miss a match. Perhaps adding the team as an URL parameter could keep the design simple? If you want to take it to the next logical step, there are more leagues that a football club can compete in such as the FA Cup and Europa League. This of course is Europe-centric.
