Can you give an example or two of such overestimation, and how low the bar might be sometimes, so as to encourage people more?
If you haven't heard, patio11 is the original creator of Bingo Card Creator [1], which is both an excellent example for your purposes, and as a bonus he's helpfully shared many useful lessons from it on his blog [2]. [1] https://www.bingocardcreator.com/ [2] http://www.kalzumeus.com/greatest-hits/

How did you get that up and running? A friend of mine started this label therhinestonecompany.bigcartel.com as a side project and I joined a year ago. We had (and still do) a lot of interest but we both became busy. But I'm tempted to pick it up again only because I feel it would do well with proper execution. I've been a silent Hacker News reader the past year or so (I'm a journalist turned coder) but your post grab…
I've been meaning to write a blog post about it... We use Shopify with a printing and fulfillment service: http://theprintful.com It's been a decent amount of work, to be honest.

#254You never said net or profit. My side project is now making over $1,000 in revenue. Soon it will actually be profitable. It's an apparel company for women who like to: hunt, fish, and be outdoors. VERY random for a vegetarian software develop, from Portland. https://henoutdoors.com
I only ask because I was considering using printful for our online shirt sales so that I wouldn't have to do much but they ate up all the profits. If you have the cash to pay upfront, screenprinting is the way to go.

#255Created http://encycolorpedia.com a few years ago, kind of neglected it until recently (it's looking very dated), a version implemented in Rust is 90% complete - cheaper to run (more beer money, thanks Rust team!) & more features than the node.js implementation it will hopefully replace in the coming weeks.
> a version implemented in Rust is 90% complete - cheaper to run Is it cheaper to run because of Rust? Why is it so? Could you please explain, don't know anything about Rust though.

#257Digital magazine company. I have thousands of subscribers that pay me $2 / month. I pay royalties to content providers. I work about 10 hours a month on the project.
I'm wondering how you can find good content cheap enough to be profitable at $2/month.
