I'm developing Wallpunch, a censorship resistant VPN for people in China, Iran, and Russia. Userbase is pretty small as I'm still polishing things up, but I hope to expand my marketing efforts a lot in 2026! https://wallpunch.net/
How are you going to accept payments for this without outing yourself and becoming a target to authorities in those countries?
kitecourier.com - the end-to-end certified mail platform that makes sending legal notices as easy as sending email. Revenue is very spiky. Some months ~$10k, some ~$100. Inspired by this Patrick McKenzie thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7135833 Certified mail is weirdly powerful leverage. I decided to productize that.

I run OnlineOrNot - https://OnlineOrNot.com It started as just an uptime checker for websites, eventually I added support for APIs and cron jobs, and automated status pages (you may have seen this one yesterday: https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/ ) I started it in 2021, I give it two hours a day before work every workday, and I cut scope on most features to ensure they're shippable in two hours. Then I iterate. It w…
This interests me because I recently started building my own monitoring service but stopped because of the existing / entrenched competitors. While it was fun to build the PoC I got to a point where it was becoming "work" and I questioned the ROI. How did you decide to persevere despite this?
https://www.condoally.com/ and https://www.hoaally.org/ - Simple yet powerful tools for running small/self-managed HOAs. The site is 15 years old now and pretty solid. I dreamed much more for it, but I still can't figure out the marketing. The front-end is open-source: https://github.com/CommunityAlly/CommunityAllyWebApp

I run a dead-simple, one-time, online fax service called JustFax Online[0]. While I don't have a recurring revenue as I operate one one-time payment, for the past months I have been consistently grossing over €500/mo. This also brings tears to my eyes, as I remember[1] browsing these threads and being amazed (still am) by all the people who make side projects and make money from them, and at the same time thinking th…
Here’s my own side project that’s been earning a bit on the side: I built DedupX, a macOS app for finding duplicate and visually similar files fast - especially useful for photographers and anyone with big local storage collections. What it does - Exact duplicate detection using incremental hashing so it doesn’t have to fully load huge files. - Perceptual image matching finds similar images even if they’re resized or…

Why would you ever admit to such a thing? Don’t you have any shame? It’s odd you admit looking at NSFW content all day messes with your mental health but I guess it’s ok since you make 50k and the women in your life aren’t having AI porn generated of them.
I am looking at the content for moderation purposes and customer support. Not sure why saying that this affects me mentally should be a bad thing. Also maybe you missunderstood what AliveAi.app is. It is strictly a on-platform AI generation. We do not allow editing of user uploaded content (i.e. deepfake) for obvious reasons.
“We do not allow editing of user uploaded content” Wait until you find out how these models are trained!

Loved the design, looks better then the most tools I've tried. I'm using Prisma + Supabase in one of my side projects and having constant db issues. Can I integrate DB Pro? Will it replace Prisma or what?
So DB Pro is a local desktop database client for managing your databases and data. Prisma ORM it won't replace, but Prisma's browser-based data browser, yes it will absolutely replace that. It's not a replacement for Supabase, it works alongside it, if that answers your question? I'm planning to extend DB Pro into much more than a database manager though, letting you build dashboards, workflows and workbooks.
What’s actually broken
DB Pro:
Enforces strict TLS verification
Uses its own certificate trust bundle
Does not:
read macOS System Keychain reliably
allow custom CA injection
allow “require but don’t verify”
Supabase pooler requires either:
trusting Supabase’s CA, or
allowing non-verified SSL
DB Pro supports neither.
So it fails with:
self signed certificate in certificate chain
This is a product limitation / bug in DB Pro.
