I made an app to help track/visualize multi projects dependencies.

It solve more or less the same problem as GitLab multi-project pipeline which was recently released.

#142https://zonewatcher.com After having multiple clients change their DNS settings without warning and then email us when shit hits the fan I knew I needed some type of warning system. This checks every X minutes and saves each version so you can see the revision history for all your DNS zones across many providers. I make ~$50 a month right now with it, which is enough to cover the hosting. I haven't really marketed it…
You don't charge enough.

#143I made Word Nazi, which is essentially just a dirty version of Taboo (in the same way that Cards Against Humanity is a dirty version of Apples to Apples) in app form. Lessons learned: * I should've paid someone to do some decent graphics, turns out "minimalist aesthetic" is not the same as "no effort put in to design" * Making it a free demo, with the full game available as an in-app-purchase, sounds like a good deal…
That site is one of the funniest things I've read in a while. Thank you!

> Then my registrar asked me to leave because they found "adult pics" on my site. Your domain registrar? Would any of them do this?
Sorry, I meant hosting. In hindsight, the domain was actually my best asset (it’s a PR 4 domain), so I should’ve kept that :( )
what was the name?

#146In 2011 at a hackathon I built rsvp.io (now points to a silly game of mine) to allow wedding couples to easily create a custom wedding invitation rsvp page. A unique code could be added to a paper invite, or the page used on its own. After the hackathon I spent another month or so refining the site. I never took it far enough, but might have made a little money had I tried. Some ideas that I never took forward were partnering with printing agencies for paper invites, and affiliate income for gift registry.
It did get used once however, for my wedding in 2013 :)

#147I made an Android Wear game. I did not think my first game would make money, but I thought if I learned how to do it I could make other games that could generate revenue.
In my opinion the install base is too small and the price point for games is too low for it to be a good business for me. I spent $300 on a watch, everything else was free. I learned a lot and it was fun, so I will continue to update the program.

You're probably right. What would you see as fair pricing for say the large plan which is currently $10/mo?

#149A web bookmarking app: http://newsconomy.com/
I built it many years ago. Some people use it. Never made a cent from it.

#150I started a web app some years ago called UppIMG where you could upload images. Basically it was a competitor to the predecessors of Imgur at the time. Too much porn led me to taking it offline.
