Built this back during COVID, still chugging along at a few hundred $/month. Sales tend to pick up around the holidays, it makes for a nice xmas gift. https://cadenceprints.com Use your strava / fitness data to create beautiful wall art
I’m building Sink It for Reddit ( https://gosinkit.com ), a Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to make Reddit usable on the web. It’s similar to RES (Reddit enhancement suite) but supports all of Reddit’s designs and is being actively developed with around 300k users, mainly on the Apple platforms. It was built during the Reddit API shenanigans last year and is making four figures a month. 99% of the app’s feature…
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…
Came to the parent to share my current project which spell checks websites. It found a few small typos on your site. https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=www.lightnote.co&uui...
Still running https://hackernewsletter.com/ after 15 years and 60k+ subscribers. It has been hard to put a lot of focus on it the past couple years, but been finally getting some time to spend on some improvements there. Income here has always been simple sponsors which I'm very grateful for.
I remember when you launched this, and I signed up for it right away. I still read it every day. I can't believe it's been 15 years already! Thanks for this awesome service.
Thanks @duck !

Not OP but I have two solutions for this: 1) find an existing site and mimic their design, or 2) hire a designer
Yes, I know, that's very easy to say, but in my experience: 1.) Imitating a good design can take a lot of developer hours. Many landing pages have fancy css effects and support many screen sizes and it can take quite some time to build. 2.) Finding a good designer is not easy. I have tried hiring on most freelancer sites with very poor results. The applicant pool is typically of low quality. So I am wondering if othe…
In any case, I suggest looking into frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind. Of course, there are also high-level solutions that don't require as much coding, e.g. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc. WordPress plugins can make it very easy to apply fancy CSS effects without writing any CSS.
As for finding freelancers, I agree that's also a difficult task. I don't have any magic bullet there, other than to prioritize people with good, timely communication skills, and to avoid people on the low end of the price range since they will usually be less experienced.
I made an AI chatbot for OnlyFans models. Their fans can speak to "them" via a third party messaging app. It's currently pulling ~15k USD MRR. I built my own GPU infra for inference and I run Llama 3 with a fewshot prompting to get the model to respond like a given OF model, typically using their actual DMs with fans. I don't have a website for obvious reasons, but if you're in the biz you've no doubt heard about my…
My 2 Mac Apps bring about $700/mo each: Tubbie [1] is a simple and clean Mac YouTube downloader. Mission Control Plus [2] fixes something stupidly simple: it adds closing, minimizing and quitting apps functionality to macOS' Mission Control.

How is that not a thing is beyond me. I tried to do exactly what your app does multiple times and didn't understood how it's not a thing.
Recently I'm trying to start using an old mac. Never used it before and almost none of my friends and colleagues did.
It's a journey of multiple awe and teeth grinding moments, one after another.

Dark mode is not working on old design. I will keep with RES for now. Looks hella buggy.
I'm probably not explaining what's behind premium correctly though. Happy to send over a free AppStore code and chat about the onboarding experience if you're so inclined. :)

How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm an experienced web developer but without a design to work off of - and especially accounting for mobile and dynamic sizing - I really struggle with this part of the work so I'm wondering what other people's workflows are for it.
