https://wolftickets.ai/ , right now 1600ish MRR, started as a way to really dig into machine learning on a problem I found super interesting. Has evolved into me learning more and more about making products. Lots of work to do still!

do you place bets on your own predictions?

Absolutely! This has taken my 200 initial stake to bit over 5200 now.

I made a service that lets developers take payments in browser extensions. I made it to monetize my own extensions but other devs have used it to make over $69k and counting which feels really cool. The API is open source, really easy to use, works across browsers, and doesn't cost anything until someone pays for the extension: https://extensionpay.com Lib: https://github.com/glench/ExtPay

Thanks for making this, it's awesome!

I'm selling access to my collection of 500+ wallpapers I created over ~20 years. It is not $500/month every month, but sometimes I hit that number. Spent $0 on marketing ever (probably not a good thing, actually). After all these years, it still amazes me some people are ready to pay for pictures :-) https://vlad.studio/

Oh wow I had forgotten about your wallpapers... I loved the blue earth with tiny airplanes so much that I became a paid member back in...2009. And my account still works! Kudos.

Nowadays my monitors are always full of full screen windows so I never get to see the wallpaper.
