Day 576 - Projects that looks totally useless but are actually useful - https://golifelog.com/posts/projects-that-looks-totally-useless-but-are-actually-useful-1659139234842

Single-feature, whimsical projects like Random cat API inspires me more than complex apps that make millions.

It’s strange, but there’s an elegance to the simplicity and clarity of the product. Just an API to grab a random cat photo on the internet. People love cat pics, and this just makes it easier for developers who want to add some random fun to their websites and apps.

I LOVE IT.

Creative. Random. Fun. Funny. Looks totally useless but actually super useful.

All elements that check off the list of what I would deem as the kind of product I would love to make and be known for.

Because while other entrepreneurs are trying to make money and be famous, I just want a lifestyle that’s optimized for freedom. Freedom to do creative shit like that. Freedom to not worry about next month’s groceries.

Maybe I should make something like that a random dog API. Or random delicious burger API. The robots API that I use for Lifelog is another good example that I love.

Or a writing prompt a day API?

What other good instances of single feature but whimsical micro-SaaS projects you know?
