I have a simple sex life tracking app that fills a niche many users are willing to pay for. (iOS only) https://nicetracker.app It has a single one time purchase of US$9.99. I loathe subscriptions personally, so all premium purchases just get all and any new features I add.
I started SupeChoiceForm as a passive income project many years ago: https://superchoiceform.com.au/ It started as just a content site, with google Adsense. Making about $1200 per month from ~30k visits. It kept growing in popularity over about 2 years and I finally decided it might be worth some more effort. So I turned it into a web app that took an employee through the process of gathering/generating all the paper…

Ping success/failure is something I've been looking at - I'll add it to the backlog :)
In this case the server would be POSTing a status to you ("I'm not ok!"), not responding to a ping.
Out of all the side projects I’ve tried, the one that’s been the most lucrative consistently is buying boring index funds. I kinda wish I just doubled down on the boring route sooner .
Just a bummer that these index funds are unavailable to expats :(

Is it possible for someone who has no knowledge of ML (but can code) to get into this space? Where would one start?
Yes, that is the perfect spot! If you already have a coding background and want to focus on practical applications, there is surprisingly little to catch up with LLM/ML/ChatGPT. Here is my quickstart on LLM/ChatGPT for developers: https://abdullin.com/llm/faq-chat-gpt-quickstart-for-program... Don't hesitate to ping me with questions, too!

i find it surprising that you can't find people who can do what you suggest at the bottom. it doesn't look like it should take more than a few weeks to learn that.
i sent you a connect request on linkedin.
I've been running OnlineOrNot ( https://onlineornot.com ) since early 2021 now (almost three years). I recently wrote about how last year it grew twice as fast as I expected: https://maxrozen.com/2023-focus-single-product-pays-off It all started because I needed a weekly report for my contracting clients to prove their web host sucked to the point where it was costing them significant money. They were paying for chea…
This is really nice. The front page tells me everything I need to know. For your consideration, I'm really struggling to find a tool like yours that expect a regular ping ("the daily build has not failed") and that support pushing a status ("the last build was green"). I have two matching use cases: one to detect when my static site generator fails to build in production, and the other to detect when my appointment f…
I've been writing an email newsletter on backend dev for the past few years - https://quastor.org/ Basically, I look through all the Big Tech engineering blog posts and look for interesting posts. Then I'll write up an article talking about the tech stack and the main takeaways. I've been learning Adobe Illustrator + After Effects recently and am now starting to add some visualizations + graphics to accompany the art…
I built and recently released a UI kit for Rails - https://zestui.com Built with Phlex, styled with Tailwind with custom built Stimulus controllers. It's got - 25 themes - Dark Mode - Form Builder - Icons - Built in Flash Toast - The components are responsive or have specific mobile views - All the JS needed (Stimulus controllers) is wired up automatically Phlex is a game changer. It is simple, powerful, intuitive an…
Well this looks amazing. How easy is it to drop this into a Jumpstart Pro rails app so I can get the best of both worlds?
- Tailwind
- Stimulus
Installation instructions are here - https://zestui.com/docs/installation
It is right now only tested with Rails 7 and Ruby 3+ but it should work with Rails 6.1+ and Ruby 2.7+

I started working on KTool[0] in 2022. Here was the Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32637996 It recently reached $1K MRR. Not enough for us to pay the bills, so I started 2 other projects: BoltAI[1] & PDF Pals[2] I sell traditional licenses for these app and so it's not "recurring revenue", but it's well over $500/mo and help me going full-time on these products.

You make great products, good job (I’d love to connect offline to discuss things in more detail, let me know) With pdf pals, can your app support time sequenced docs like sec filings? I’d love to easily drop in the last few quarters of a company’s filings and get coherent answers on its performance while not accidentally smashing all the filings together and hallucinating false stuff.
PDF Pals allows you to highlight a section and ask only about that content. I’m not entirely sure but for some advanced questions, it might require a code interpreter similar to ChatGPT and that feature is not available in PDF Pals yet.
Would love to talk more about your use case.
