I made a background noise website and app https://asoftmurmur.com There are a lot of improvements I want to make, but due to life commitments it has been stuck in maintenance mode for far longer than I'm comfortable with

I use this all the time, and I tell everyone else to as well.

We're making about $600/mo right now working on Oku, which we're building as a social book tracker (and more) and hoping to replace Goodreads with.

Things have tapered off quite a bit since 2021, but it's still over the threshold: https://virtualpostersession.org

It's a platform for virtual scientific and research-oriented poster session hosting. Pretty simple but desperately needed when all the conferences were cancelled!

I built an email forwarding service - not for your own domains, a lot of those exist already - instead you can choose an email at any of our 150+ domains and we forward it to your existing account, no migration required. You can even send from this address with many providers.

I created Video Hub App - browse, search, and organize your videos - "like YouTube for videos on your computer".

It's a commercial project / charityware that is turning 4 years old next month. I sell it for $5 per copy and give $3.50 to a cost-effective charity. If you go to the blog you'll see the history of sales. As of now I donated almost $13,000 to charity thanks to this project. It's averaging around 100 sales per month for over a year now.

Also open source MIT: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

I've been making a pretty consistent amount off my open-source side-project Pterodactyl through company sponsorships.
