https://www.ganttplanner.com - April 2015. A tool to turn your Google Calendar into a Gantt chart. Its currently running on autopilot and making ~$1200/month. Its all running on Heroku and barely requires any maintainance.
I built https://localname.io as an excuse to learn some Swift and node.js. It helps server side development by giving a publicly accessible URL to your computer. I needed it for development and testing of mobile applications together with the backend. Also works well for webhooks. Didn't reach the $500 yet, but it's getting there!
You probably get asked this a lot, but why would anyone use this when ngrok is available for free? Cool homepage btw...

I run the largest web hosting review site. It uses twitter comments as the data source. I wrote nearly the entire thing from scratch in PHP/MySql with a couple libraries for twitter streaming api, templating, WordPress blog.
I did a long interview at IndieHackers if people are really curious with full monthly revenue disclosed (https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses/reviewsignal)
I've cut my expenses and invested the extra in index funds. Currently at a nest egg of around $300k which spews off dividends of around $500/month and is currently appreciating a bit faster than that.
You aren't investing it well then. This year S&P has gone up something like 20% (thank you, Donald). From 300k that would net you 60k which is 5K/mo. All you'd need to do is rebalance into VOO.
having a portfolio that is entirely concentrated in the S&P will have less risk adjusted expected reward than one that allocates a bit in some other buckets as well (e.g. international shares). c.f. the book "random walk down wall street".
https://hostedapachesolr.com - since 2013, started with intention of just hosting my own search indexes (since cheap shared hosting didn't allow java apps to be installed), then ballooned from there. Minimal maintenance, almost every process is automated with Ansible + Jenkins + tiny bits of PHP glue code. https://servercheck.in - since 2012, same as Solr, I started it to do SMS messages for my own site outages... th…
https://turbohiring.co, built a year ago. Database for recruiting IT specialists in Ukraine. After only one year it already generates $3k+ in revenue and growing. Finding a right sales person was a key.
https://swizec.com/reactd3js Classic content with attached sales funnel play. The aim is to help people become better engineers. Been hammering away at the React visualizations niche for a bit over two years now and it’s time to make something new. Product sales make around $20k/year and are slowly trending up, and I’m experimenting with coaching which makes around $1k/month but is hard to scale due to time/focus. Al…
