Hello. I built wwwww.today after experiencing mild curiosity about Google autocomplete results: Does anything weird ever show up? What are the most popular results? Can I make a page that gives a swift overview of "what's going on today" (with various significant caveats, of course...)?

I also wanted to pick a side project with an achievable scope so I could actually finish something in the context of work, parenting etc.

The tech stack is Laravel / MySQL (I'd like to have used certain alternatives, but I am quite productive with Laravel so in the interest of getting something finished I decided to stick with what I know) and Puppeteer which runs as an AWS Lambda function. I stuck with a very simple approach to front-end, using PHP templates and lots of really bad practise CSS. So fun though! I didn't want to sink days of dev time into JS dependencies and build chains.

I am vaguely aware this could be productised (it would be trivial to swap out the five Ws for other search terms) but I have no idea if there is a market and am not currently motivated to pursue that avenue.
