My books on https://datacrayon.com/shop/ fit that description. Although they’re no where near breaking even if I account for even 20% of my time, I’ll continue to work on them because I want to see them finished. I’ve priced them as “early access books” where the price grows as the content does as a way to gain some kind of interest and support the work!

#132I made this iOS game: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/two-birds-one-stone/id15396463... I have wanted to be able to play this game for a long time, and probably thanks to pandemic, I did the work to enable it to be shared with others. It has made a grand total of 3 sales this year, and that isn't really bothering me (the main frustration is the apple developer fee...) There is various info (including a trailer of sorts…
Your score disappears on game over, so I didn't get a chance to see my exact high score. Somewhere in the 1,700s I think.

Why don't you have that video on the app store listing? It would explain the game so much better than the 2 screenshots you have up there?

#136A native GUI library https://github.com/yue/yue . It was a disaster when I announced it on Hacker News, and I got numerous harassments from strangers. But anyway 3 years since then and I'm still working on it. Edit 1: 2 => 3 years Edit 2: If anyone is interested, I wrote a blog on the mistakes I made http://cheng.guru/blog/2018/02/18/lessons-learnt-from-open-s... .
Re: the disaster - had to look it up [1], but it didn't help that you didn't answer any of the (pretty serious) questions raised in response to your announcement. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15218067

#137Built it for fun - mainly to learn puppeteer, how to set up auth, node.js, GSAP and how to write serverless functions.
Biggest highlight so far: got featured in the Google official blog.

Best $1.99 I spent all morning. Your score disappears on game over, so I didn't get a chance to see my exact high score. Somewhere in the 1,700s I think.
Your highest score should be displayed in small black text under your current score. 1700 is a very impressive score.

#139Just web DAW. Upload your records and play it live with cool effects, mix it, record it, loop it, etc.

#140It's quite functional but nothing to download yet. I expect it to be out of alpha by the end of this year. I plan to put it on Steam but I don't think it could be a "success" - it's, mildly put, quirky. Maybe I should add mouse support.
