My other "I don't care if it succeeds project" is an uptime checker I've been building extremely iteratively: https://onlineornot.com/
Mainly started building it because I wanted to learn more about running a business, marketing, and SEO (all the technical parts of the business are relatively easy in comparison).
I started with literally just a Lambda function that checks if static websites were still online, added an email alert if it's offline, wrapped authentication around it, integrated Stripe, and shipped it.
I launched it into 200 competitors providing the "same" service and still managed to get customers.
Mainly from working two hours a day, every weekday, for almost a year now. Each feature I ship has to be shipped within a two hour block and iterated upon later (so I use feature flags - the other service I built), and I only build features actual customers ask for and can explain how that new feature would fit into their business processes.
