Just launched Story Treasure a way to create illustrated children's books, motivated by the fact that I'm a portuguese dad raising two bilingual girls in Germany... very hard to find portuguese books around here! https://www.storytreasure.ai/
German speaker in Portugal. :-) That's awesome. Just did one.
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…
On Firefox Android, in step four, I managed to get into a situation where one of the notes kept playing. It occurred when pressing too many keys on the keyboard demonstrating the chromatic scale. Pressing each key again for not "unstuck" it.
And if I'm already providing feedback, then a nice improvement for the end of step two would be an option to hear the two notes of the displayed waves, together.

I'm 2 months of polishing away from being HN-publishable, but I decided I'd share at least in comments.

I've built https://cophone.io - your online smartphone, complete with a phone number. It is an Android system running in the cloud that you can access via a browser, even on mobiles. Things like microphone and webcam work nicely, so you can even have meetings on cophone. After iterating on it for a while, customers seem very happy and now growing day by day. No marketing so far, just being out there and posting on va…
Wow, I've been looking for something like this. Can I bring my own esim?

You mention national and international phone calls. Do these virtual devices appear local to the customers region, to where your servers are located or are there options? Could someone use your service to run an Android device that behaves as if in the United States, for example, to use Android apps or web services that are region blocked and restrict use of VPN/Proxy?
The gist I get from this thread is that if you have something on the cards you should just commit to it? How much is just survivorship bias? I have like 4-5 side hustles being worked on at any one time, but I rarely ship for various reasons. Lots of people in this thread seem to have just gone and done it without thinking. How often does that pay off?
It's all pure survivorship bias.
I have two! https://gifmemes.io , haven't touched the code for years, makes between 100-300$ a month, depending on the season. https://vocabuo.com - a side project I hope to turn into a business, so I work on it around two days a week, made around $3.5k in revenue last month but most of it went back into ads.
Wow! So both projects revenue come from ads?
