Show HN: Unclutter – Reader mode, but better
Hey everyone!<p>In the last months I've been working on Unclutter, a modern reader mode browser extension. In contrast to all existing approaches, it unclutters articles by modifying their CSS instead of extracting the text content.<p>This results in a more visually pleasing result that reuses the original article style. The idea is to remove friction so you use the reader mode more often.
There are a few more features around saving articles automatically and taking highlights -- more details are on the website.<p>The extension has about 400 active weekly users right now, mostly from organic web store traffic. Monetisation has proven to be hard and for freemium there would need to be much higher numbers anyways.
Do you think I should keep working on the project?

Show HN: I made a pretty relaxing puzzle game
I had the concept in my head for some time and firstly just prototyped it using only HTML & CSS. Sent it to a few friends and they liked it so I made it into its own website and added few 'competitive' features like click counter and share button.

Show HN: A color picker for named web colors
I had this idea kicking around in my head for quite a while. Took an evening to make this, and a short morning to polish it a bit. So here it is!

Show HN: Haxophone
I built this during Covid. When I released it, some of the parts went out of stock or skyrocketed in price, no longer making this an economic DIY project. Now that things are getting back to almost normal, I thought I'd share it here and request feedback. This is a very niche project for people who like the same things I do: saxophones, Rust, mechanical keyboards and the Raspberry Pi.

Hi HN!
This is my pet project, written from scratch because there is so much to discover and learn in the process. The focus is on simplicity and incremental updates.
Progress is slow because I do not have much spare time to work on this, but I would love to hear some feedback.
Regards

Show HN: Open-source alternative to Retool
Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.
Hey HN,<p>Over the past two years, I've been building Upbase, an all-in-one PM tool.<p>I've tried so many project management tools over the years (Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Teamwork, Wrike, Monday, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are overly complicated and painful to use. Some others, like Trello, are too limited for my needs.<p>Most importantly, most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity.<p>They are useful for organizing my work, but not great at helping me stay focused to get things done.<p>That's why I decided to build Upbase.<p>I try to make it clean and simple, without all the bells and whistles. Apart from team collaboration, I added many personal productivity features, including Weekly/Daily planner, Time blocking, Pomodoro Timer, Daily Journal, etc. so I don't need another to-do list app.<p>Now I can use Upbase to collaborate with my team AND manage your personal stuff at the same time, without all the bloat.<p>If these resonate with you, then give Upbase a try. It has a Free Forever plan though.<p>Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
