I used to sell extra naughty bikinis online, in addition to being a consultant for distributed real-time machine learning. People had a hard time combining the image of a nerd in the basement with that of a flashy sales guy surrounded by models. So I usually didn't mention the bikinis to allow me to charge full nerd pricing for my coding. This site project brought in roughly €500 monthly with almost no work, because…
Since October 2019 it's made $200 in the form of 1 episode having a sponsor.
As a side topic, I would be very happy to have anyone on who wants to talk about their tech stack for their side projects.
I really don't like talking about my side projects, so I guess they all qualify, but I'm particularly excited about one at the moment. Right now I'm working on a dog treat business - I make a treat mix that you add water to and freeze for a meat-based frozen treat. I feel really good about the product and the packaging design (and this is the first time I've ever worked on any kind of a physical product, so it's real…
I copied an app from the App Store. Their business model was free desktop application but $20 for the iOS client and I really wanted it so I made a 'clean-room' implementation with CloudKit and charged $0.99 for a one-off cross platform sale. Bit brazen, but the idea isn't entirely unique. Edit: P.s email me at adam@adamfallon.com if you would like a promo code to get the app for free :). * https://apps.apple.com/us/…
Simplicity. I love it when < 1MB apps provide utility.

I started building Lanes ( https://lanes.io ) in 2016 as a way to learn how to code. Don't talk about it because it's way overdue for an update. But it plods along, earning enough to cover the bills for my second project, Simplescraper ( https://simplescraper.io ). With Wunderlist shut down this year it was the perfect time to relaunch Lanes 2.0 to try capture some of those task-manager migrants. But if there's a sin…

Unfortunately can't take credit on iOS here - the same app is 1.4mb on iOS - I assume because it isn't statically linking some part of the CloudKit syncing framework on macOS whereas it does on iOS? Or maybe SwiftUI framework is dynamic on macOS due to Catalyst - not really sure.

My web app [3] earned only 50€ since 2016. My other projects (ex: mockrest.com [4]) don’t make me any money at all. I have to use other strategy.. :/
