July 2025 Projects update

I’ve missed the June 2025 update due to work pressure and vacation preparations. I’ve also not spent a lot of time on any of the projects because of similar reasons. This is a good opportunity to see how my projects are doing when not touching them much.

Shibutz

This is the only project I’ve spent a bit of time on, as I wanted to fix some of the issues, and implement a few new requirements that my wife needed, before the new school year starts.

In June I’ve improved responsiveness of the website and improved the generated Excel reports. In July I made some more major improvements – improved landing page and UX of authentication pages. I improved the UX of the free tools. I also made major improvements in order to make it more compliant to various standards – users can now delete assignments, classes and even their whole account. I made some performance improvements, to streamline the workflow. In addition, I made some SEO related changes (tags, formatting, Schemas, etc.). Lastly, I added tracking of user engagement, so that I can better understand my users.

Summary

I’m surprised that 2 of my most promising projects – Calculation Hub and Random Generatr – are not doing as well as I expected. I’ll keep them around because I really like them personally, but I need to decide if I’ll continue to invest in them, unless I find a way to turn their trajectory around.

On the other hand, the 2 mini tools – ASCII Art Generator and Cursive Generation – are doing well, and continue to gather traffic. I need to figure out a way to get more traffic for both, and see what else I can improve to them.

Shibutz continues to grow in traffic, and I’ll invest more in reaching out to potential customers in the next few months. I also need to decide how I want to monetize it – I’m thinking of doign a one-time model (as opposed to the annual/monthly subscription other similar sites offer).
