I launched an app for Shopify about a year ago called Custom Fields: https://customfields.bonify.io Currently it's making about $5,000 / month. It's been a very interesting process dealing with building the app, marketing it, and dealing with support. The app is $19/mo for regular Shopify stores, and we have about 700+ total customers (only some are paying). We get A LOT of support requests for misc things and have b…

I think it's the easiest way. Creating your own app or service from scratch, marketing it, and retaining users long-term is nearly impossible (seems like). All of those problems are solved by integrating with a 3rd party.. Granted, that has it's own risks and limitations, but seems worth it for small side projects.
Exactly. Just wondering are there any other third party platforms you are excited about? Recently I was checking - https://www.cloudflare.com/apps/ but can't find how revenue works on there.
http://livereacting.com/ - SaaS app launched about 8 months ago. Currently $3k/mo. I automated everything. Last 3-4 months it works almost on autopilot I just do customer support
I screen scrape camping reservations and send out notifications when a campsite becomes available. http://reserve.wanderinglabs.com/ Currently working on integrating the new CA reserve website. It is a shit show.
Interesting premium payment options. Can you share a rough breakdown of what people have paid? Do you think if you made the low end $5/$15 it would change revenue much?
I've been working on https://doorbell.io since 2013, and although it had a slow start in terms of revenue it is making just shy of $2,800/month at the moment, still as a side project.
You might want to consider redirecting requests for your IP address to go to your domain name.
Something like:
server {
listen 443 default_server ssl http2 reuseport;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 reuseport;
server_name doorbell.io;
# redirect IP address requests to https domain
if ($host = '192.241.177.143') {
return 301 https://doorbell.io$request_uri;
# you might want to use code 307 in place of 301 if you care about POST requests etc
}
}
Currently doing about $1k/month

Can you talk a bit more about the fulfillment company. How exactly does it work with your setup, and pros/cons you've noticed?
Often the pros and cons are two sides of the same coin. For example - we have a 10k sqft warehouse - which is fairly expensive, and required a 5-year lease commitment. On the other hand, it's awesome to have so much customizable space completely to ourselves. The lease commitment also helps me keep focused on long-term success - which is especially nice during a rough month. Our focus now is on growing our Shopify e-…
Working on https://apibot.co , a testing and monitoring tool for REST APIs. Many of our customers come from word of mouth plus talking to people. Its been very interesting to see the kind of tests that people built with our tool. We're still technically in BETA although sales are going slow but smoothly. Send me a message if you are interested (fernandohur at apibot.co).

ICO, we raised more than $15M in 9 minutes, we only built a website with homepage, lol
Really? Looking at your Twitter, you work at toptalkedbooks.com which according to your associate that posted in this exact thread a few posts below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15149593 ) isn't even making any money. Hmmmm?
