While a thread of 2k+ MRR is going, I thought it'd be cool to hear from folks who aren't quite at 2k yet.

#2Eurotripr.com - a constant work in progress. The goal is as if NomadList and Indiehackers had a baby and that baby wanted to help others travel affordably around Europe.

This is pretty cool! How much manual work is involved keeping the data up to date?

#5https://markwhen.com
Timelines in markdown (gantt, calendar, map, other views)
It's open source (https://github.com/mark-when/markwhen) and there are some paid options for storing markwhen documents in the cloud.
Straddling paid SAAS and open source is a bit tricky and I still haven't figured it out completely yet. I have some sponsors as well as some paid saas clients but it's not quite paying the bills yet... I like working on it though, hopefully I can find the right balance or a different revenue model that works better.
My other problem is not only am I not good at marketing, I don't like doing it. But I also know it's the other half of the equation.

#6https://www.forth.news
The vast majority of Americans get at least some of their news from social media, even though they don't trust it.
Forth is a news feed for news; not quite social media. Everything comes from vetted journalists who adhere to our editorial policy, so you can trust what you read. No spam, no misinfo, no hate speech.
Have a little over 60 journalists in all sorts of beats/locations, and growing.

#7Making an open source CMD epub reader in Rust. I don't want to share the code as I feel a bit self conscious about where it is ATM, but when its done I really hope it will be a solid reader for people using the terminal. Its non-profit because I just want to make a neat tool

A party game my friend and I built over peak COVID, still play with family & friends frequently. People stumble across it on the Apple TV App Store and occasionally purchase some content which is great!

#9The cynic in me always suspects these questions are fishing attempts to see what ideas can be cloned to steal some of the revenue.

Maybe I'm more cynical than you because I think lots of hn posts are fishing attempts :)
