I sell handmade sculptures of influential people and famous monuments on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/jurgenstudio . Revenue is 2-6k USD depending on the season. I hired someone part time who took over production and shipping. it's mostly passive revenue for me apart from growing the business by developing new products when I feel like it. The profit margin is around 50% after all material and labor costs are pai…

I have an idea for rcmd -- if possible, it would be great to be able to assign a right-cmd-key to -- or open one if none is. Likewise for calendar.google.com and probably others. I'd pay an extra few dollars for that feature, as I'm forever opening because my tab hygiene is lacking. I read your piece on window switching -- would AppleScript work? This works: tell application "Safari" tell item 4 of windows set the cu…
Hey that’s a useful feature indeed, and it can already be added by the user with rcmd’s Window Actions which support AppleScript. I actually have done that myself already for Firefox. I could maybe try to implement the main part of the “find and switch to the tab if it exists” so that users can simply assign the URL. Thanks for reminding about this use case!

> I sell cheap but high-quality LPT: use "affordable" instead of cheap, it basically means the same thing but has a totally different connotation
I disagree, "affordable" is newspeak for "you're able to afford it", I don't want something that's merely affordable, I want something that's cheap!
eeeh that's always been the meaning, what's newspeak about it ? What do you think the "afford" part of "affordable" is for ?
> I want something that's cheap!
That's ok, but then you probably don't want something that's "high quality" like the OP mentions, "cheap" is newspeak for "low quality"
Anyways, this is marketing 101
I earn a bit north of $5@@ monthly writing and selling puzzle books on Amazon. (I suppose it’s relevant as, at its core, the books are made via one-off programs I write for each kind of puzzle. In addition to the LaTeX crap that turns the output of the program into a nicely formatted puzzle.)
Hey that's so cool. I have a relative into puzzle books. Are the print or digital?
Cryptograms, wordsearch, fill-a-pix, nonograms, and the like. Sone types (like cryptograms) are simple generate using a program. Others, though, are pretty damn tricky… it’s a puzzle in and of itself figuring out how to make the puzzle. Currently working on some Logic Grid puzzles… the program I’m writing to make them is a real pain-in-the-ass. But, unlike most here, programming is a hobby so I throughly enjoy wasting time in the challenge.
I make $3k-$5k a month from my newsletter - https://www.startups.fyi - have just under 8K subscribers, mostly startup founders and indie hackers. Related - Startups.fyi has hundreds of examples of profitable online businesses and side-projects, how much $$$ they earn and more info.
Started trading back in 2020 and realized how bad I was it, and how much I needed a strict system to eliminate emotions! Had a degree in CS so spent a few months reading up on quant related stuff and realized how negligent I and other retail traders were, and how much data driven insights could help (ran over a million backtests the last 2 years)! Built a simple analytics tool to show dozens of correlations & analyti…

I think it depends on how the work is produced for celebrities. If it’s a mass produced product and not one off artisan creations, OP might run into problems
They look to be making several of each person.
https://getblast.io/ - it is an end-to-end data platform: data ingestion + dbt-like transformations + data quality checks + data catalog, all through a single interface. It is making ~$4k/month currently. Around the beginning of 2022, I was having a conversation with a few friends that are working at small mobile gaming companies, and they were having a lot of trouble building their data pipelines, especially because…
So you're building Snowflake. I love the idea... Lots of room to scale this to a unicorn.
Our vision here is to bring the same set of abilities to the business even if some of their data lives in Snowflake, some in BigQuery, some in S3 and some in an Excel sheet somewhere. We are working to get to a point where working with all of these will become an easy task, without sacrificing governance, quality, speed or cost.
