#27.49EUR interest payments from my Bank account (pre tax).
Does that count as passive income? At least I am not doing anything to get it.

#3Inspired by previous "passive income" posts, I decided to ship something small [0] after quitting my job earlier this year.
It only makes me ~$100/mo, which is enough to cover my PC gaming addiction. Super fun experience, amazing how much you learn from building such a small piece of software.

I think so, anything that you invest zero time to obtain.
Good catch

#5negative a few grand. I supplement my mother's retirement income a bit, and give a regular-but-small amount to charity.
It's pretty easy to set up - just contact your bank and get an automatic monthly transfer going. I did it online, and haven't had to worry since!

#6The more I explore this concept of 'passive income' the more it seems like a unicorn not unlike the Facebooks and Instagrams of the world.
Sure, it's possible to generate truly passive income, without any ongoing work to sustain it, but such projects are so rare that it's impractical to pursue them. It's like saying you're going to create the next unicorn...good luck with that.
99.9% of endeavors worth doing pursuing require some level of constant work to continue capturing the value they generate.
I say this as someone who made his first few 'passive' dollars LAST NIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING. But I put 'passive' in quotes because this was after 5 months of working for nothing, and the grueling work required to keep my offering attractive continues.

Although it's been priceless in terms of the things its taught me about shipping a product, and market demand.

wow that's a cool and simple idea. I work on a cocoa app so I will find that valueable for meeting accessibility standards. Do you have a windows version?

That's remarkably useful actually, cool project! Funny release notes too:
> # What's New in Version 1.0.3
> "Hey Jordan, this app looks great but unfortunately crashes when I mouse over to my second monitor while selecting a color"
> "That's impossible, I fixed that! Are you sure you're using the latest version?"
> "Yes I'm positive. Just put your primary display on the right and mouse over to the left screen"
> "Hmm... works on my machine."
> "Your other right"
> "...Oh."
> · This version fixes a bug with the color picker when your primary display is to the right of another display.

Looks like your cert is invalid, it doesn't work if you drop the www subdomain.
Edit: I checked out https://www.oppslist.com which works, and had to come back and say that's a nifty site, well done!
