Foundry Virtual Tabletop is software for running tabletop role-playing games online, where a game master hosts the table and players join free through a web browser. It is sold once, with no subscription, by a small Spokane studio whose founder has publicly refused to build generative AI into it.

Moxfield is a deck builder for Magic: The Gathering players who want to build, share and browse decks. It started as a two-person passion project, launched on Reddit in 2019, and remains independent of Wizards of the Coast, paid for by $1-a-month patrons.
City of Punk reviews the AI music and sound generators — Suno, Udio, Stable Audio, ElevenLabs — for people deciding which one to pay for. It runs no sponsorships, and its Stable Audio review opens on a real four-second brief: a rusted service hatch dragged open, for a game build.
TurnOffLocation documents the exact menu path for switching location sharing off in apps like Find My, Life360 and Snapchat. Every path is read off the vendor's own page and archived that day, and each card says who can still see you afterwards instead of promising nobody will know.
Gamma turns a prompt or a rough outline into a finished presentation, website or social post — design work for people who are not designers. The San Francisco company behind it crossed $100M in annual revenue with roughly 50 employees and no sales team.
MagicSchool is an AI platform built for K-12 classrooms — teachers, students and district administrators. Founded by Adeel Khan, a former Denver public high school principal, it keeps the core teacher toolset free rather than behind the district contract.
The Creative Independent publishes interviews and practical wisdom from working artists — musicians, writers, filmmakers — on how they sustain a practice. It is run as an ad-free resource by Kickstarter, which is why nothing on it is trying to sell anything.
Stripe builds payment infrastructure — the checkout, billing and fraud tooling running under millions of online businesses. Its homepage is probably the most imitated piece of SaaS design of the past decade, which makes the original worth studying closely.
