Some sites have already been approved prior. We generally discourage our users to apply for AdSense initially (most likely it'll get rejected anyway) - so instead we recommend using other ad platforms (there are plenty).

Have you got a side project? :)
It turns your un-used domain into a Reddit-like content aggregator with all sorts of features - membership, voting, comments, newsletters and monetization. The best thing for me is that it is completely automated and all of my domains are hosted on the platform. :) Not Ramen-profitable yet, but pushing it to get there.
Example sites using Newsy
https://www.sideprojectors.com (a marketplace for people to buy and sell side projects)
https://www.newsy.co (a tool to turn your un-used domain into content-aggregator like Reddit)
I launched monetization for both of them early this year and things have been slow but steady - looking forward to developing them more in 2021!
I built a little tool to make use of all of my ~30 un-used domains.
First one was Newsy (https://www.newsy.co) - which allows people to turn their un-used domains into something useful - a tool I built for myself first and slowly let others in. It's been a little slow since I'm not doing much marketing, but getting the first ~10 customers was an awesome experience.
Second was my long-term project - SideProjectors (https://www.sideprojectors.com) - a market place for selling & buying side projects - monetized with some standard elements - ads, pro membership, sponsors - all of them turned out to be great way of getting some side income.
Hopefully, those who are in a similar situtation can also find it useful.
Basically, it turns an un-used domain into a content aggregator (e.g. Reddit). But it does have quite a lot of features to build..
- contents via RSS and keywords - membership, subscribers, automated newsletters - traffic via sharing on twitter, tumblr etc - monetization through ads - SEO with sharing links with other users and building backlinks
The reason I mention is that many no-code people I spoke to found it an interesting way to "test out" the particular interest market and build some traffic (or at least try out) before diving in.
I had lots of un-used domains and wanted to make use of them without having to maintain them. So I decided to make a tool that turns un-used domains into a content-aggregator like Reddit, except, it runs itself. :)
I got tired of many of my un-used domain names and this was the best way for me to make use of them without spending much time on them.
We built a tool to aggregate contents from various sources (e.g. news, videos, reddit posts etc) and then put them on a simple website (something similar to HN or Reddit).
The website then has a newsletter subscription feature and then latest / popular contents will be delivered.
Built on Laravel + Vue + Tailwind.

See if you can make something better. :)
It's something I've been working on to scratch my own itch.
I launched it a month ago. It's a tool that converts your un-used domains into something useful.
By something useful, I mean a self-running automated content aggregator with lots of bells and whistles to keep it running (e.g. membership, newsletters, ads).
I had way too many domain names that are not being used. I wanted to make some use of them without having to maintain them and spending time on it. Now I have all of my 25 un-used domains.

Happy to help and and answer any questions! :)
What I'm more interested in is how project management software like this keeps popping up and I genuinely wonder what the rationale is?
We use JIRA, Trello and Asana at work and between three of them, yeah, things are working. How much more do we want out of them? Not much. Let's just get on with actual work.
But I must be missing something - some market research, some user research where there is a big unmet need or problem that none of these tools are currently solving and not just in "missing a feature" way, but at a fundamental level where it justifies an entrepreneur to jump in and create an entire software from scratch.
I'm not in the domain, so I obviously don't have the data. I know lots of people complain about JIRA (including me), but my complaints don't warrant me to move.
Maybe these companies are targeting "new" users? New companies, new teams, people who are starting projects anew and looking for project management software?

Our pitch is “find a co-founder / collaborator” for your project. We have had a number of matches but as people would know finding a right person to work with is always a challenge even if a platform exists to connect (still necessary!) good luck!
