#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can this be done in Pure JS solution within browser? Why need backend?
The product is an "API to generate images on the fly". How would you create an API with no backend?
Not the API, I meant this functionality of rendering text on image, can this be done in JS only?

#43I run a robotics newsletter: https://weeklyrobotics.com/
How do you promote a newsletter to become profitable? I have a newsletter, but it's not getting traction.
I’ve been rubbing it for over 3 years now and I’m approaching 3k e-mail subscribers. I feature it quite a lot on LinkedIn and Twitter and sometimes I would share some issues on /r/robotics or HN.
So far the best way I’ve found for growing subscribers is trading shoutouts with other newsletters but I didn’t experiment much with paid ads.

#44Originally a side project two years ago, now I'm full time on it: https://www.interviewquery.com/
We help data scientists land jobs by being the Leetcode for data science.

#45I make this e-paper calendar: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale... It syncs with Google Calendar. To be fair, I currently does > 500$/month in revenue not earnings . If it doesn't count let me know and I will delete my comment. EDIT: I am currently out of stock sadly. If you want to be notified when I am back in stock, you can leave your email here: https://forms.gle/tNcCcYrNBu5nWKgJ9
This is pretty cool, though it would be nice if it worked with caldav instead of just google calendar :)

Be honest, were you inspired by Drawful?

#47I run a robotics newsletter: https://weeklyrobotics.com/
Which is a good read if anyone is interested in robotics/ros/drone stuff
It depends what you are interested in. My latest find from this week is the Introduction to Autonomous Robots open source book: https://github.com/Introduction-to-Autonomous-Robots/Introdu....
If you were looking for news then sUASnews is great for some catching up on drones. For robotics I often find articles on IEEE Spectrum and The Robot Report interesting.

#48I play music in bars. Or busk an accordion. Fun times. Definitely not passive income, but it's work I like.
Hey fellow accordion busker! I find my busking income has diminished vastly with age, despite my skill rising. Everyone wants to toss a coin at the 10 year old playing decent accordion. Not so much the 30 year old playing good accordion.

#49I 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…
Selling perpetual licenses for software that runs on your machine?! How quaint!

#50We built https://tadum.app, an online meeting agenda that rolls forward incomplete agenda items to the next agenda. This ends up creating a low effort paper trail, saves on meeting prep time, and keeps agendas consistently formatted/organized. It's intended for recurring weekly/monthly/quarterly meetings--we built it based on how we run meetings with our clients and are happy to see other teams jump in and have success with it.
