I sell cheap but high-quality Anki decks for language learning: https://deckmill.com Created using a mix of automation (TTS, machine translation, etc.) and human reviews. Built it with a friend, making around $500 a month, very stable over the last couple of years. Spend 1 or 2 hours a month on it, mostly customer support.
LPT: use "affordable" instead of cheap, it basically means the same thing but has a totally different connotation
I built a screenshot app for macOS and made ~$3k/mo from it :) https://xnapper.com People like the app for its ability to turn a normal boring screenshot into a beautiful one that they can share on social media instantly.
I really like the design of your website. If you don't mind me asking, any tips on how did you create it?

I love this app and use it daily. (I think I got it through setapp). Awesome work.

Mexicos overall internet presence is literally stuck in the early 2000s. Most business' official website are a Facebook page. In a country of 150M people and growing expat presence, there is a TON of opportunities for software businesses to enter the market. For example: Riviera Maya has no MLS style real estate tracker/listing platform. The entire real estate industry operates on word of mouth, WhatsApp and Facebook…
I keep running into this in the US in large cities. Really well regarded restaurants or music venues do everything through FB and insta. I don't have either of those apps, and I don't remember my passwords from a decade ago. Isn't there a service somewhere, where you give someone some pictures of your food, and restaurant, and you get a container and credentials for a webpage that handles reservations, takes pickup o…
https://FreeSolitaire.win brings around $500/mo (advertising revenue). I started making this PWA in 2016 and I’ve been slowly adding to it over time. I intend it to stay minimal & lightweight. No framework, etc. Fun fact: because it is so lightweight, it was included in the Moya app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya ), a popular messaging app in South Africa that is “data-free” for users (it…
Nice work. Is there a way to share games? Like "I just finished #3181 in 96 moves, can you do better?"
Well yes, the very feature you described does exist! Sharing your result is available on game over, assuming you didn’t “cheat” (use hints) too much. It looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/kMouvTL.png That uses the navigator.share() API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/s...
It started as an useful app for myself. Releasing it publicly was an afterthought, and it has been six months since I introduced a subscription model.
I learned about marketing and working on this project contradicted my assumptions as a software engineer - making it educational.
I started selling NSFW stickers on Etsy. Originally it was a way for me to have a creative outlet but turns out a lot of people want this kind of product. Making just about $500 a month from it now. It’s great because all I have to do is draw the original art once and then I can just repeatedly print it and cut it out. It’s also a very relaxing hobby for me. I enjoy sending out envelopes with hand written notes. It’s…
Are you printing & shipping them yourself? I considered selling stickers at one point but print costs under 500 was too high, plus the hourly requirements of doing my own pick& pack. I thought about hiring the neighbor kid, but casual hiring seems to get messy/illegal fast.
During COVID I was in Mexico. At some point I wanted to go horseback riding. I was researching places to go horseback riding and I was not at all surprised to see I would have to make some calls to book. Fast-forward a few weeks, I become pretty good friends with the owner at the ranch I went to. We grab tacos one night and he shares his concerns: They're not doing so well financially and are worried about whether or…
> I get to say I am a co-owner in a Mexican horse ranc You must get business cards made and start distributing them to friends and family whenever you get the chance. Not for marketing - to brag and to be able to be mildly annoying.

An absolutely amazing story. I’ve wondered for a while how powerful bringing skilled software engineers (let’s be honest, people don’t give us credit for the amount of actual business skill is required to effectively do this job) into small businesses would work. Most people who don’t work in tech or advertising don’t think so much about tracking everything . It presents a pretty big opportunity for both small busine…
One of the things I wanted to do was understand who our customer was. They had really no idea. Waivers are all digitalized and ask for the basics: name, date of birth, where you're from, emergency contact. I use a "gender API" to get the gender of the rider the best we can, and from there we have learned a lot about who our typical customer is. Some fun factoids: * typical rider is 35-44. Less than 10% of riders are…
Built a simple analytics tool to show dozens of correlations & analytics between a wide variety of financial data points, and bootstrapped it to $120k/month! We grew from 0 to 54k users in two years, all organic. Has completely changed my life.
