I made ~$1000 in earnings in a weekend selling algorithmically generated posters of my art: https://spacefiller.space/prints This was a test run that went surprisingly well. I paused sales so that I can focus on reworking my process (it was very manual, hoping to make it completely automated) and design more posters.
Twitter Archive Eraser https://delete.tweets.app/ , allows users to reliably delete old tweets. Makes around $5k/month now (down from $7k/mo previously), fully passive income as I haven't worked on any new features in the app for the past 1.5 years or so.

This is awesome. I would 100% buy a battery operated version
100% I agree. Makes non-sense the eInk (low consumption) but power cord.

Corded seems a good fit for a static location device.
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

We publish one longform nonfiction feature every quarter, surrounded by a constellation of reactions, asides, and art inspired by the core story.

I make this e-paper calendar: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... It syncs with Google Calendar. To be fair, I currently does > 500$/month in revenue not earnings . If it doesn't count let me know and I will delete my comment. EDIT: I am currently out of stock sadly.

I am curious: as a HW project how did you go through the CE / FCC certification process and production 0-series batch? Did you have some investor or paid from your own pocket? Asking as somebody who thought making some embedded / HW projects, but the initial cost seems to much to be paid by myself.
CE mark isn't actually required in the US, but you'd need it for Europe and other locations. It's more involved, but all-in testing can be done for > Did you have some investor or paid from your own pocket?

Crowdfunding is how it's done for HW products. Investors aren't going to be interested in anything small time (less than $10-100mm potential revenue + recurring subscriptions) unless they're friends and family or something like that.
It's a lot of money, but it's not out of reach for someone with a tech job who uses crowdfunding for the major production push.

Cool. I predict (hope) specialized jobs boards will become more the norm.
This is an interesting thesis. How would HR/People/Recruitment teams work effectively in a world where there are many specialized and actively used job boards? Today, HR teams usually post jobs on LinkedIn and perhaps one or two more platforms. A world of fragmented job boards would be difficult to navigate for non-specialists.
I start tons of projects, and it's always a bother naming them. I didn't find existing domain generators at all useful, and since my background is in AI, I made my own. → https://www.namy.ai It currently has a modest but pretty consistent 200-300 users daily, almost all of it direct traffic (my SEO skills are very lacking). I'm assuming people recommend it to their friends, and that's where the traffic is coming from…
