I launched a side project in 2015, left it alone for years, and just shipped the biggest update yet

In 2015 I released Flinder, a small iPhone app for the "so… what do you want to do?" moment. It checks your local time and the weather, then shows you things to do one idea at a time. You swipe through, tap one that sounds good, and see places nearby with photos and a map. On a sunny afternoon you get parks and ice cream. On a rainy evening you get things like bowling and karaoke.

痛点：在"现在到底想做什么"的犹豫时刻，用户缺乏一个结合本地时间与天气、一次只给一个建议并附附近地点的决策辅助工具。

目标用户：想要快速做决定的本地居民与出行前的旅行者；以及寻找低维护成本小工具的独立iOS开发者。

证据：The core of the app is free: no account, no ads... 4.0 also adds Flinder Pro, for unlimited cities and saved places. It's available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. More than 8,000 people have used it, which still surprises me for an app I ignored for six years.

变现：免费核心功能 + Pro 订阅（无限城市与收藏）并搭配一次性终身买断，可再扩展城市包或主题包内购。

MVP：两周内做一个iOS小app：读取定位时间与天气API，按天气/时段规则映射活动类型，全屏卡片滑动展示，点击跳转附近地点（接Google/Apple Maps或Yelp API），收藏用本地存储，Pro解锁多城市与无限收藏。

竞品：Google Maps、Yelp、TripAdvisor、TimeOut、各类天气App、Pinterest/TikTok内容推荐

摘要：作者2015年发布的iPhone小应用Flinder，根据本地时间与天气一次推荐一个活动并展示附近地点，2019-2025年被彻底搁置却仍有人在用，累计超8000名用户。v4.0新增加任意城市、按城市分文件夹的收藏、全屏图片与大地图，并首次上线Flinder Pro订阅与终身买断。核心功能免费、无账号无广告，是典型的低维护单人产品案例。
