#63I run BugMuncher ( http://bugmuncher.com/ ) - a website feedback tool that allows users to submit screenshots direct from their browser, no plugins required. I started BugMuncher as a side project about 4 years ago, but this month I quit freelancing and started on my quest to make it my full time job. Exciting times!
Very nice!

#66I built https://numbers.today . A quantified self platform with an API available for everyone. In the beginning was very hard; it's your new baby and you need to put a lot of effort, passion and discipline to get things done. Now I'm struggling because I don't have much time to work on this, but I hope in the next few weeks I'll be able to ship some features that are already built.
where did you promote your API and site?

#67I built https://info-beamer.com . It started as an open source project to easily build an animated info screen for a conference using a simple Lua API. Since then I ported the software to the Raspberry PI ( https://info-beamer.com/pi ) and built a hosted service ( https://info-beamer.com/hosted ) around it. Today you can either purchase licenses for the PI version and build everything around it yourself. Or you can j…
This is what I call real niche , very impresive.
How do you promote it ?
Do you make a living out of it ?

Promotion is a mix between word of mouth (I run installations at hacker conferences) and being found when people search for a PI based solution. So far it's not enough to make a living, but it's ramping up. Hopefully I'll break even in the next few months.

#69I made Nomad List ( https://nomadlist.com ), which lets you find the best places to live and work. It's a mix between a cost of living index and a community for digital nomads, remote workers and general (modern) travelers.
Re: the question of this thread. I've built it by myself and I think it gives me a big advantage. I see a lot of people partnering with co-founders, and then they have to discuss every little new feature. And ego gets involved. And meetings. I just have a meeting in my head before I sleep every night with what I'm going to make the next day. It means I ship faster.
I have been travelling and using nomadlist for quite some time. Works like a charm to find quick info.

#70http://hackr.io was pretty much a 1-man startup for a long time. It's only recently that we got a couple of more people on it.
I've used this site a few times - good work
