Thinking about what am I building on this Sunday

Today is Sunday morning and a time for reflection.

As an indie maker, you often think: am I making enough progress? Am I on the right track?

It's quite easy to fall into the trap of "not doing enough".
That's a horrible space, it makes you overwork and seem like no matter what you do, you're not moving fast enough.
That in turn likely leads to burnout or worse. 

So I was sitting now and thinking, I wish I had written down a post every where with my status. With what I'm working on.
Right about now I can open those up and see how far I came.

## 2024 Summary
Things are good today, but I always want more.
Quite a few of my products are growing, making a (relatively) ok revenue.

So every year I'll write this short summary and list all my (active) projects. Next time when I feel it's to slow, I can compare with where I was. Hope this works 😬

## Current projects
So let's get into it. I'll just list my stuff and see how it feels. Will probably have to iterate on the format but better to start somewhere.

Last year around this time I had 2 projects: Clobbr and Crontap. This year, I have...

Well, well, well, what do we have here?
