You're passing on $50k-100k per month of ad revenue from just basic banner ads... at least based on how RPMs were a few years ago. I respect that, definitely not the decision I'd make.
He could sell ads for the Epic and GOG game stores!
Everyone Draw: https://everyonedraw.com I created a little experiment a few years ago to see what would happen if anyone in the world could draw pixel by pixel on an infinite, shared canvas. It has attracted a small community of fans who use it to relax and practice their drawing skills. The community has spawned some breathtaking pieces of collaborative art, including a world map[1], a galaxy[2], and a magic forest[…
It's a little free tool for planning groups with good mixing and various constraints, based on a near-solution to a neat combinatorics problem. Originally designed for teachers planning discussion groups, and I've had folks use it for lunch tables and board game tournaments. Recently I get about 1k uniques per month (but that might be a lot of bots).
It's a privacy-focused dynamic QR code application. Just got my first paying customer this past week, which I'm pretty stoked about!
The costs of running it are very low (~$15 / month), and it's not something I'm planning on ever turning into my main gig, but the fact that someone is willing to pay for an app I built on my own feels really fun
For fun I created a project that merges practicing office doctor data with pubmed. If you need a doctor who is published in Mohs surgery AND want them to have an office near you - this is the place for you! And that is why it's a waste of money to host it lol.

While working at a really cool NYC startup I developed some tools for generating cool photos of people that could be drawn as vector paths.
The website makes it sound like a photo booth, but really its an art project / style / aesthetic I've developed for rendering multilayer pen plotter artwork.
It's been really had to stay focused on it, but over the years I've done maps, repeating pattern artwork and actually did run (slow and inefficient but) LIVE photo booth for four events that were hosted by other people.
Take photo, watch robot draw, walk away with a drawing in your hand. This is the vision.
My career has been in complete freefall the past few years and it's been hard to work on this at times because there has been no real money made. A few years ago I got paid $1000 to be part of a business development program at a local hackerspace and I still feel so shameful that I haven't been able to get this project going. I refuse to give up.
I've since gotten a day job, I'm working to get my professional and personal shit together and re-learning some front-end tools to make presentable looking websites that can serve an e-commerce purpose.
If you want to have me do a commissioned work, please reach out via IG. I want to let people pay me to make artwork through my website eventually.
Repository hosting for Apt and RPM and a couple of other formats. No real customers but I do offer it to a couple notable open-source projects: Helm for their unofficial Apt package (which I personally maintain) which gets 200,000+ downloads/month and Authelia (15k Github stars). The biggest single cost is StackPath CDN's bandwidth (a bit more than $100/mo) so I'm planning to move to BunnyCDN soon.
iOS app Blind Compass https://github.com/mltony/blind-compass I am blind and I developed this auditory compass for blind people that communicates your heading as two tones - musical interval between them encodes your heading. It helps white cane users not to get confused in space or walk straight across large open space by locking heading. It also makes me look like a lunatic, because I put iPhone into phone holder t…
If I keep my phone in a hip holster but get the audio over a Bluetooth earbud, is that likely to be useful? Do you wear it on your hat so you can swivel your neck and "probe" the compass response, or because you get better results up there in some other way?
ArchiSteamFarm: https://github.com/JustArchiNET/ArchiSteamFarm I've been developing ASF for last 8 years with very active attitude, 10k commits with over 7k commits made by me (98.6% of all excluding bots and automation). While I do offer various donation options, the program was always free and open-source, and the overall amount of hours I've put into this would probably make at least several years of senior-level…
