I built https://dependabot.com to be passive, but ended up going full time on it (the startup I was working on feel through). Generates $9k/month passively, but I put my full-time energy into growing it (adding new languages / improving support for existing ones).

(In France, you can use a company to rent your apartments and avoid paying taxes, so I do that)

I built https://alchemist.camp . It started as a screencast YouTube channel focused 100% on the Elixir language and after a some initial positive feedback, I created the site and added some premium content for paying subscribers.
