People consult me for doing performace mods, parts sourcing. The sports bike scene is emerging in my country.
I'm planning to build a dyno from scratch, if it's a success. I'm hoping to recoup the cost from proving it as a service.
https://leetcodewizard.io I released this fairly simple ChatGPT/Claude wrapper a few months ago. Currently it’s doing about 15K/month. It’s an invisible Electron app that can be used to cheat in coding interviews / OA’s.
I love this. I honestly want everyone to cheat on these leetcode style interviews. I want that process to be broken and for the whole system to become completely ineffective, so that companies are forced to go back to actually putting some thought into hiring. I doubt it'll happen and instead surveillance during these interviews will probably just increase instead, but perhaps you've kicked off a game of cat and mous…
System is broken, therefore let's make it 100% obvious that it's broken, so it can be totally rebuilt.
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…
Related thought - Is there a good way to search for projects like this? I know there are hundreds of these passion projects that never show up in google.
Ex) This year I want to get better at playing piano. Reddit and google bring up a few consistent big name links. I'd love to support a well-produced course by a creator like this, but have no idea how to find it.
I built https://explorehere.app to help you learn about the history of the world around you by sending a push notification whenever you pass a new historical marker on your travels! It’s a freemium app with a pro subscription for advanced features; our revenue is just under $1k/month. We’re working towards ExploreHere being a passive adventure guide. As you go about your travels ExploreHere will nudge you about inter…
I'd love to use this but there appears to be no coverage of my country. Any plans to expand coverage to other regions?

Where you guys hiring in the past? I remember reading a pitch for this site and the layout also looks familiar

In the days before global data plans, there was an amazing offline travel companion app called Triposo that was well before its time. One of its best features was to guide you toward nearby places of interest. I remember in ~2012 visiting Paris and being led to a historic but dilapidated building that used to be a notable school, near to where I was staying but not along the walk to the metro station so I never would…
I think these kind of 'passive' trip companions are difficult to sell as they inherently fade into the background and support your trip, rather than trying to take all your attention and 'be the trip'...
But thats the kind of software I like and the kind I think we should try and build more of! Personally, when I'm exploring a new place I just want to 'do me' and have some gentle nudges if I'm near something really cool.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just a few weeks ago I was on a trip through back roads of NC and VA and saw a bunch of historical markers and wondered how to do something with them. And now I know. My thinking was to stop and get a gps coordinate and then what? How do I get them all across the states? And that is about how far my thinking got before a SQUIRREL ran through my brain. Glad to see some of my thoughts aren't to far out there. Now just…
Many are probably already in HMDB. https://www.hmdb.org/
This led me to build https://tapflow.co on the side (been 3 years). It's a simple platform where tech pros-designers, devs, marketers, PMs— turn internal docs, templates and workflows into paid products. I kept it lean since most don't have time to build a full course.
The core idea: many pros have valuable knowledge sitting unused-too busy, unsure of their expertise, or find it too complicated to create full courses. I built a tool to help them quickly pack and sell what they know, creating passive income.
Some friends and early adopters have made over $20k from their products (mainly courses). One French teacher even earned over $7k on the first day with just a promo page https://tapflow.co/p/du-b2-au-c1-4ebMhTxqJi
Since launch, I haven’t done any real marketing—just personal recommendations, Product Hunt and Reddit. Now it’s stable income. The platform takes a small cut and offers a pro tier.
Started selling pasture raised eggs last summer. First we had a flock of 150 but soon we ordered 150 more. We kept them in the Susckovich style chicken tractors[1] and sold directly to customers through Reko-rings (Facebook based farmers market). We gross around 3k€ per month with around 2000 euros profit per month. The chores take 1-2h per day and the deliverys around 3h per week. Our web page is at www.paivarinne.f…
but how much does it cost to feed 300 chickens?
