It took 2 years to reach $2k revenue and I lost interest in this project due to a lot of manual work. With the advancements in AI, I'm planning to focus on it again.

Spoiler: nobody ever gets their shit together

There's a quote from Sarah Manguso's _300 Arguments_ that I love: > With great and solemn portent, my teacher announced she would tell us something that her teacher had told her, and that her teacher’s teacher had told him, and so on, back to Yeats: The thing to remember is that no one ever finds out that you don’t know what you’re doing.

That's was the most profound lesson I've heard in a long time.

it touches on some many things.

A friend and I host a monthly dinner club for people interested in ethnic cuisine. We work with a single restaurant each month to create an 8-12 course all inclusive price fixe menu. The food is served family style and is authentic to the region we are hosting. We typically host the dinners on a Tues or Wed when the restaurants in our region aren’t too busy and could use the extra business. So far we’ve hosted 12 din…

How do you monetize it?

I run Afterplay ( https://afterplay.io ). It's a game emulation platform where you bring your own games. It took 18 months from first line of code to 2K. It's now my full time job :)

I read that as afterpay at first. Was thinking why is a billionaire posting in this thread :-)

This made laugh :) Thank you.

I run HTTP Toolkit ( https://httptoolkit.com ) which passed $2k a couple of years back. No longer a side project, as it's made enough money for me to work on it full time for a fair while now, but it certainly started that way, and it's still a one-man show (plus many wonderful open-source contributors). I suspect that'll be a common theme in answers here though: if you have a side project making $2k a month, in most…

Hey, I've used your tool many times to debug SSR applications! It was actually a Google engineer that recommended me it.

Like it a lot. Cheers.

I absolutely love how easy it was to capture requests through ADB with your tool, only solution i could find which just worked out of the box.

Does it work for apps with pinned certs?

Depends on the setup, but for the proper certificate pinning cases where it doesn't work automatically, I have a Frida walkthrough & script you can use to easily do this at https://httptoolkit.com/blog/frida-certificate-pinning/ and I'm working on fully automating that part within HTTP Toolkit too (more details: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/frida-mobile-interception-fundi...).
