https://bruzu.com API to generate images on the fly. Sample https://img.bruzu.com/?a.text=HN3

> I am a developer, Do I need this API? No, if you can build your own rendering system with all these features and able to make it run this fast. You don't need this API. Your FAQ is great hahaha!

Yes, every developer thinks the same about almost every API/service, that they could build it over weekend.

I'm running a website for people learning Japanese and currently making ~$590/month from Patreon donations: https://jpdb.io/

This is an entirely spare-time project on which I've been working publicly for the past year.

Here's some info about the tech stack I'm using: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26693959

Previously from 26 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29667095 That said, this seems to be the extent of my marketing desire. I screen scrape campground registration websites and alert you when someone cancels on a date you want to go camping. Fabulously successful. Now back to my day-job. https://wanderinglabs.com

This feels like a good balance to me--you're giving people a heads-up that there's an open block that they can book, without doing the "value add" of blocking it off and then scalping the slot. More power to you.

I've been making a pretty consistent amount off my open-source side-project Pterodactyl through company sponsorships. https://pterodactyl.io

I recently got Pterodactyl setup on my home server and I just wanted to say that it's an incredible project and it works great. I run various game servers on a whim and it's been easy to spin them up. Many thanks for your hard work.

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

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy the site.
