#52I’m making ~$4k a month, from a small macOS and iOS app portfolio: - macOS apps: https://fadel.io/ - iOS apps: https://apple.co/3fqcWfO
I bought Batteries For Mac when my mouse died without warning. It's funny how much a simple little widget actually helps out.

#54I 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. If you want to be notified when I am back in stock, you can leave your email here: https://forms.gle/tNcCcYrNBu5nWKgJ9
This is pretty cool, though it would be nice if it worked with caldav instead of just google calendar :)
I think so too :D
It's definitely something I am having in the backlog, but I cannot promise if and when it will be implemented.

#55Earlier quoted context omitted.
The product is an "API to generate images on the fly". How would you create an API with no backend?
Not the API, I meant this functionality of rendering text on image, can this be done in JS only?
Yes its way easier in browser on front-end.
But you need API for the things that happens off browser. Like if you want to create images inside your code.

It can be done, but this is already done, so you can just pay with money instead of dev time.

Sure it can, and I'd say it's much cheaper to do it in JS than using API (with quite small quota, even for paid plans)

#58I launched www.rtljobs.com in October and had my first month of $500 in revenue in December.
It's a job board that caters to a very specific subset of electrical engineers - specifically, ones that work with FPGAs and logic design for chips.

Full disclosure - $500+/month in revenue, but not profit. The majority (95%) goes to the creators I work with.
