I started basically when I stumbled upon a problem myself. https://thehorcrux.com/why-i-built-horcrux-app/ TL;DR: Google disabled my account. So, built an email backup app to not get into this situation again. I started building the app 4 years ago. I put it on Hacker News and it blew up a tiny bit. That was enough to keep it going until now. There is still a lot of work I can put into it marketing or coding wise. So…

How does it make money?
I started Hacker Paradise as a side project in 2014, and now we're a full-time team of 3. We organize trips around the world for developers, designers, and entrepreneurs who want to work remotely while traveling. People pay us to organize housing, accommodations, and community events wherever we go (past speakers have been CIO of Estonia in Tallin, Matz in Tokyo, etc.). Happy; to answer questions about running more o…
See this page from a Heli ski operator which specifically markets trips to doctors: http://www.canadianmountainholidays.com/heli-skiing/special-...
Basically throw in some education or networking and your trip is all the sudden 50% off!
I have a project making $200/month, 100% passively (I just renew the domain every couple of years). But I think it would be so dumb to just tell what it is here. Why would you invite more competition to your niche?
For smaller SaaS companies I think this approach is best. If you have a stable passive income, whether you rely on or not. Why post about in an arena where people have the ability to copy and undercut you easily and threaten your income. I sometimes find posts like these slightly disingenuous.
Me? I just wrap Amazon's route53 DNS with some git-magic, so you can host your DNS records in a git repository and make changes via `git push`. It's a simple idea, and yet it is surprisingly popular. https://dns-api.com/
I run https://uimovement.com/ and it makes just over $1,000 a month from sponsorships and ads most months. The majority of that is from sponsorships for the weekly newsletter, which has almost 13,000 subscribers now. Currently doing cust dev and what not to see if there are income opportunities that don't involve ads.
How did you get those sponsors?
I created Meteor Toys, available at http://meteor.toys It's been very good to me, but also trending down as people seem to be diversifying from Meteor. Certainly not what I expected when I got into it. The story for it is a simple one: I solved some of the annoyances during development for myself with by making a devtool, and then open sourced it. The reaction was very positive and encouraging. Between the opportunit…

Good job. How does it make money?
Curious if they've tried other pricing models. Beyond, say, 10 or 20 users the value proposition shifts against that pricing model IMO.

53.0.2785.143 on OSX 10.11.3 is fine. Perhaps an extension is throwing it off?
