I’ve made it a kind of New Years Resolution to build little silly, niche apps in 2017 and onwards. And doing what I said I would do, I have built something silly for January.

My first app is a band name generator called namemyband.net.

The premise is simple, you get a random band name. If you’re not happy with it, you click the blue link to get another. It’s not perfect, but it was a quick app built using Aurelia (did you expect anything less).

The name I just got for my next band was: Vigilante Dentist and you know what, it’s not that bad. I think it sounds awesome, for a metal band or something perhaps.

Who knows, maybe someone will actually get a band name from this thing and go on to be famous and rich.

My planned side project for February is going to be a way more ambitious project that’ll be more than a band name generator.
