This sure seems very interesting. Have you written the GraphQL
layer by hand? Have you tried https://github.com/tailcallhq/tailcall
With tailcall, you can quickly bootstrap a GraphQL service on top of existing APIs. I would love to collaborate on this and help you on board.

This looks very interesting. Would you be interested in adding Retable.io support as well?

#214I'm building a Zillow for Europe ( https://homestra.com ) which is focused primarily on expats and remote workers. Growth is steady and revenue slowly going up (sales cycles on this are brutal). My other side project ( https://webtastic.ai ) has become my main work now since it has grown quickly since the last time I posted on HN
How do you generate traffic for it?

#215I train LoRAs for diffusion models using collab. I've automated a good portion of it so I only have to deal with the customer saying yay or nay to a commission. The notebook I run takes a shared drive folder of pictures, or if a public figure... runs a crawler that grabs images from instagram and X. Run a face-scoring script that tosses out pictures with no faces, multiple faces, or non-target faces. Run the images t…
Can you share url? I'm interested in testing it out.
Soz, I don't like to cross link my accounts, especially with all this TSWift shenanigans going around. But, if you look at https://civitai.com/ plenty of people have links to their ko-fi accounts where you can commission them (heck you may even find me somewhere on there).

#216Is there anyone here with a revenue stream that is mostly from ads or premium accounts? I'm working on a side project that is essentially IMDB, but for music. As I'm reaching the MVP, I'm starting to think more about monetization, and I'm trying to gather as much experience as I can, but it seems like most successful side projects here sell a product or service, not exactly what I have going on here.

#217I got annoyed that my MacBook case would slightly buzz when plugged in, so I worked with a factory to make these grounded Apple adapters: https://www.amazon.com/Grounded-Duckhead-Apple-Mac-Adapter/d... They've been selling consistently to others annoyed by the problem or who want to ground their MacBook for other reasons.
Can you share more info about the creation? Did you register a patent? What was the MOQ? Have you sold out? Did you have to comply to any electrical regulation?
Kudos!

#218I couldn't find a good way to visualise road trips, so decided to build this: https://www.myholidaymap.com/
It's fully automated, all traffic is organic. Sales are quite consistent, normally peaking during holiday periods.

Could you add a bit about how you made the game? I’ve been interested in making .io games for some time.
I used Phaser + uWebSockets. Source code is public, feel free to take a look: https://github.com/codergautam/swordbattle.io
