Impatient to learn about the accomplishments of the community.
Bear in mind that the team is based in India, so our salary and other expenses cannot be compared to Silicon Valley, but in India we pay market rates.
The self-publishing route for authors is a very interesting development. I believe it is going to be one of the more interesting strategies for monetizing content on the web. Take the best of modern web technology (version control, bug reports, quick iterations) and apply it to producing books---meaningful information products that can be sold at 60%--95% margins. What's not to like?

I made FiveStar [0], which was covered on TechCrunch [1] and it made ~$600 last month. Doesn't cost any money to run, so it just sits there. Not a fabulous success story, and traffic is decreasing, but $10 a day as passive income isn't awful. [0] http://fivestar.io [1] http://techcrunch.com/2014/06/03/fivestar-finds-the-best-pro...
