The readme says that 'for profit' projects aren't allowed. Side projects can't be created for the purpose of making money? I'm not sure I understand the purpose of that restriction...
Thanks! There's definitely no problem with making a bit of money through a side project. Perhaps I worded it poorly, but that restriction was put in place to prevent companies/established organizations from posting their products on the platform as the site is meant for individuals to post their side projects. I'll rephrase it, thanks for pointing it out.
Working on a side project is something a lot of us share. Whether it’s an open source resource, a blog, etc., all ideas, as crazy as they are, have some sort of potential. Yet one thing I've realized is that there's really no organized service that's designed to allow you to share side projects and to garner feedback on them.
That’s what sideprojects.net is. It’s a platform where you can share your side projects and get feedback, ideas, and even support on them. It’s 100% free to use as well :)
@sakofchit just browsing from my phone but this seems like it's using the Telescope platform (though I believe the name has since changed). Is it? I had plans to use that to launch several side-projects back in college but felt like practicing and working on rolling my own... Been busy with life and work since so I have yet to truly launch anything.. ^.^'
I don't normally suggest things.. but this immediately screamed at me going to the 'video' category..
I'd suggest if there aren't any posts for a given day, don't show it, so only days with posts are displayed.
And also, then populating a page (pagination-wise) with X-amount of posts, rather than X amount of days, just to give a more consistent experience between pages :)
Yep, it's an issue with Firefox unfortunately. It'll work fine on any other browser. I still haven't been able to pinpoint what's causing it since it works perfectly fine on my local environment :(.
Haha, yeah I should probably post sideprojects.net on it as well :P
Great question. This is a platform where users post their side projects. They aren't being pulled from anywhere.
The first few users came from a public test on reddit as I wanted to see if this would be something that people could see themselves using. The responses I got were positive, so I went ahead and posted the website on several different (relevant) subreddits before launching on ProductHunt on September 2nd.
I haven't had much of a spammer problem (yet), but there is a spam filter and a cool-down preventing you from posting too much at once.

I had an issue though, I clicked the top link on:
https://sideprojects.net/posts/7YZPLbcugbCyf94GY/non-vocal-m...
to visit the site and it takes me to
https://sideprojects.net/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.programme...
which is 404. hope it's a quick fix :)
Have you listed this as your own side project on there? ;)
