I make about $50k/mo on https://www.closingcredits.com I found that most teaching platforms for voice actors out there are run by a bunch of celebrities who are pushing edutainment, not education. So I wanted to make something specific for voice actors. I will try to branch it out to other creators later.

The discussion around this thread got my attention, and you've gotten a fan. Looking forward to reading through your blog posts.

Thank you. :)

I made a background noise website and app https://asoftmurmur.com There are a lot of improvements I want to make, but due to life commitments it has been stuck in maintenance mode for far longer than I'm comfortable with

I'm curious about how much work goes into recording high-quality, looping sounds like this?

I've launched a couple months ago https://linkz.ai Linkz.ai is hyperlink auto-previews that keep visitors on your website. It's heavily inspired by Wikipedia & Google Docs link preview popups with special extras. For example, when you click on a YouTube hyperlink, it does not take you to Youtube website, instead it opens lightbox with Youtube video on your website. All with just one line of code. $500+/m in a first m…

how do you get your users?

I made ~$1000 in earnings in a weekend selling algorithmically generated posters of my art: https://spacefiller.space/prints This was a test run that went surprisingly well. I paused sales so that I can focus on reworking my process (it was very manual, hoping to make it completely automated) and design more posters.

Curious what the rough process is to generate art algorithmically... I've heard of ML that attempts to generate art based on its training pool. What concepts does this sort of art use?

Thanks for your question! I began writing a technical explanation of the art here: https://notes.spacefiller.space/living-wall/

It's a very early draft, but hopefully provides a glimpse into the techniques I use.

(tl;dr: it's way more low-tech than ML generated art.)

I make this e-paper calendar: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... It syncs with Google Calendar. To be fair, I currently does > 500$/month in revenue not earnings . If it doesn't count let me know and I will delete my comment. EDIT: I am currently out of stock sadly. If you want to be notified when I am back in stock, you can leave your email here: https://forms.gle/tNcCcYrNBu5nWKgJ9

Hi man, beautiful product, if this were an external monitor, or at least a website kiosk, I would buy it in a heartbeat. :D
