I built an interactive Music Theory course 8 years ago over a winter break and it continues to bring in enough to pay my rent each month. I just thought there had to be a more intuitive way to learn music theory than the very boring and jargon-heavy alternatives. It uses Tone.js to include little interactive pianos, guitars, and other demos. I've done no marketing, it hit the HN front page for a day, and after that i…
Available on IOS and Android.
Gets me around $250 per month. I've not done much marketing either. Started as a hobby project after Covid and continued after.
I also built an Indian Version of Neighborhood app (like Nextdoor). But I am not making any money from it. https://neighar.com
PS: I am planning to scale up and also planning to spend some money on marketing. Investors are welcome!
I built Filestash ( https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash ), an open source Dropbox like frontend for any cloud storage / protocols (S3, SFTP, FTP, SMB, NFS, etc...). This was made as a reflection of the Dropbox launch top comment with the infamous FTP guy as I was wondering what was missing from the FTP specs to be able to make a great interface to a protocol like FTP. The money come from customisation and en…
I created it in 2008 and have maintained and improved it over the years. I am trying to figure out how to monetize it more. I currently make around $2k a month. I just use adsense and have a paid membership feature through buymeacoffee. I get massive traffic and I'm pretty much the #1 result for anything related to best/greatest books.
It's built with Rails and Postgresql and hosted on 3 linode servers. I get around 250k page visits a day.

> I built…over a winter break This site is extremely well done. You built it, and all of its content, in a couple weeks ? That’s amazing.
Ah, yeah that is misleading. Let me clarify. The landing page is what I built over the winter break, including those first 7 lessons. Since then that page has remained largely unchanged. However, when it started getting a lot of traffic I added a pre-order form for a full course. THAT took me 6 months to code up all the additional lessons. Building all the interactive pieces (drum synths for rhythm lessons, an ear tr…

Can this be gifted? Or will the purchase be tied to my email only?
But every year around the holidays a bunch of folks request this. I tell them to buy the course, and then email me who they'd like to gift it to. Then I just manually create a new account and send an email saying so-and-so bought you this course with the login! nathan [at] lightnote.co
I built https://vpzen.io - dedicated VPN servers that are pay as you go. 79c per day and 10c per Gb. Great if you only need a VPN occasionally. Plus there's no VPN client to download... it works with the native VPN client on Windows, iOS, macOS and Android.

Tried it on my lunch hour (WFH FTW!) and wow that is disorienting. Going to take some getting used to after 30+ years without it!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it - I recommend turning the sensitivity down to start with, also bind “toggle” in OpenTrack to turn it off when you don’t need it.
