Past year's personal projects that went viral: hallucinate The Front Page groovemaster textlog Yet I'm poor and can't get an interview :S how do I solve this?
I think you're doing the right thing. You also clearly have both business and product development skills that are almost impossible to find in the same person. I'd try to think of how to monetize some of these and consider YC.
personal projects probably just arent the right knob if you want to get unpoor. if you want my honest advice i would recommend not showing hallucinate to potential employers, its landing page looks one-shot claude and is gpu heavy. but the others look very nice.
Oh no my beloved project! /jk maybe I fix its landing page but yeah you're right maybe it's too childish for the prospect job. I'm doing personal projects because if I'm not building something I go insane, I just *have* to be working continuously and I'm not landing interviews :/
im the same way nowadays, self employed feeling more like unemployed x). i believe putting in work over a long time will always pay off though. hoping the best
The last project, Hallucinate, generated me a trip to Berlin but that's it, after it lost traction. Hope dies last. I'll keep putting in the work and something will turn up I believe as well.
nice to hear though! did you like it? living in berlin for 6 years now
