• A cryptocurrency website in 2013 which contained a lot of articles, at the time I was very invested in cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency mining, I even had about 14 graphics cards mining litecoin at the time.
• A CSGO case opening simulator.
• A website which would compare the prices for every item on the Steam market with that on multiple 3rd party websites, BitSkins, OpSkins etc. And try to find a difference for arbitrage. Integrated with Telegram, so I would get notified whenever there was a possible opportunity to make some money.
