Add Ordinary Man Trying — building-in-public blog by a non-technical Chinese parent #172

Description

@daligao

Hi, I'd like to suggest adding:

Ordinary Man Trying — A building-in-public blog documenting how a non-technical Chinese IT worker with zero coding background built a suite of 47 free browser tools using AI.

Why it fits this list:

  • No VC funding, no team — pure solo indie
  • Documents the whole journey: what failed, what worked, revenue attempts
  • Tools are free, single HTML files, zero dependencies — genuinely useful products
  • Building in public with transparent AI labeling (SEO posts marked "AI Generated", personal posts not)
  • Has a Ko-fi + Amazon affiliate setup trying to make it sustainable

The tools themselves: https://ordinarymantrying.com/tools/

Happy to add a specific page if a blog URL fits better than the homepage.
