I'm building a journaling app for couples (iOS): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/twig-journal-for-couples/id145... I originally made it for my long distance girlfriend (now wife) and myself. It averages $450 - $550 monthly.
I built an app to control what my kids watch on Youtube: https://kidstv.family Makes $1500/month
https://cronhub.io (a project I just took over). Makes about 1k/month for now.
I had a similar idea 2 years ago [1] but haven't been pushing it forward because I thought nobody would need something like this, since it's easy to implement a cronjob in a backend server. Maybe I should revisit this! :) [1] https://cronbeats.com/
About the logo – I'll take it as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" ;-)
https://apps.shopify.com/quotify nearing $1k, earnings increase every month without doing any advertising. I also launched https://unlock.sh/ earlier this month.
on the demo app/store... if you click "request quote" it gets a 401 error.

take the shortest path instead of cheapest-to-ISP path I am guessing?
Yes pretty much. Most ISP's just buy access to the cheapest routes which are not always the fastest. I rent servers that are connected to the fastest routes and send the customers game traffic through them. This often results in lowering the latency by a significant amount. The other thing the VPN does is allows people to choose which region they want to play on. For example, in PUBG, when you launch the game it ping…
My JavaScript screencast, letscodejavascript.com, made over $10K net profit per month at its peak. It costs $25/month for unlimited access to over 600 videos. I stopped producing videos in April 2018, but the site is still up, and still gets occasional new subscribers. (There's been an influx lately, in fact, and I have no idea why. Maybe because I have a new book out.) It's still netting more than $500/month, althou…
Recently launched a website where users can design their own Desktop Garden. Only a few sales so far but hoping to slowly scale for some decent side income :) Please check it out http://gardensofkyoto.design and open to any feedback!

Can I ask how you find the fastest links between countries and the servers for them? (Background: during my vacation last month I was playing an MMO from the APAC region but with servers in Germany, and it was crazy high latency. It made the experience quite bad. I wanted to rent my own servers and build a faster link for myself.)
- 308ms from my landline ADSL2+ (not on the NBN yet, hopefully soon),
- 350ms over 0-bar 4G (house in blind spot, yay),
- 300ms from EC2 running in ap-southeast-2, and
- 312ms from Oracle Cloud in ap-sydney-1 (okay the x86-64 one was 309, the ampere one was 314-317)
which sorta highlights the sore-thumb reality of transatlantic cables: I'm 16,267km/10,108mi away, and there's very very little I can do about it.
The only thing I do really wonder about is if Starlink does p2p backhaul between the satellites, or if they're just floating mirrors... but after just clarifying that radio waves can't go faster than light I'm now unsure whether that would actually make a difference. Hm.
