I built an API/IAAS (sort of), https://approximated.app , to make it really easy to connect end user's custom domains to any web app. It offers automatic SSL for unlimited custom domains and subdomains through dedicated reverse proxy clusters. Each comes with a dedicated anycast IP address so that your users can point an apex A record at it and be geo routed to the nearest region of your cluster. You can add virtual…
My side hustle[0] brings ~$600/month. Not a whole lot but it covers the costs and brings a decent profit. [0] https://pdf2qrcode.com .
The game Twenty that I posted on here many years ago as a ShowHN[0] post took off from that very post and is still earning in that ballpark. I keep trying to find more time to work on it and other projects too, but somehow as my kids have gotten older and my spare time in the evenings gets shorter, I haven't managed it.

Tbh, I kind of burned out working on it, because I poured a lot of effort at one point and the end result wasn’t what I was hoping for.
Now I’m just trying to sell all of the remaining inventory and just move on.
Have various sport result apps. Generating roughly 100k dollars a month. No team. Conpletely solo. Started in the very first days of apps. Even had Java apps on windows mobile back in the days. Now only iOS and Android. I also have a non apps company with +25 employees now. Couldn't have started that without the other business
The first reply to almost every post is "how do you advertise"? Where are all the people doing side hustle advertising as a side hustle?
I have one, we got to YC top 10% applicant but didn't get in this batch. Hopefully in the next batch: Travi helps users access information about activities, must go places, and things to do from trusted local residents, and provides automatic scheduling of selected activities in an itinerary format. Yes! I know, we could have picked something non travel related since we launched in the middle of COVID but we have bee…
This is awesome. Any plans for Android app?

In my experience living in a poor country, most of the issues brought up against globalized supply chains are either made up or sensationalized by people in developed countries who lack perspective. Low wages? Actually they are a really good entry-level option for people doing rural-urban migration. Expensive middlemen? They serve a purpose in the marketplace and smooth out logistical inefficiencies. Greedy multinati…
Thanks for your perspective . Just to be clear, are you talking in the general or are you in an environment with coffee plantations? Because the things I’m talking about were presented as issues specific to coffee.
I have two! An app for making wedding place cards that does about $1000/mo https://www.placecard.me/ A boilerplate for making SaaS apps with Python/Django that does $5k/month (highly variable) https://www.saaspegasus.com/ I also have a third that does around $150/mo. It's an app that adds analytics to GroupMe which is a WhatsApp alternative. https://chatstats.co/ I keep complete revenue and effort data here if you're…
Find it very interesting that the boilerplate was leading the pack. "Don't dig for gold, sell shovels." as the quote goes.
I started AppMasker ( https://appmasker.com ) a few months ago. It’s basically a reverse-proxy as a service (using Caddy) and makes adding custom domains to your web app a breeze. Still working on my marketing pitch so feedback is welcome!
