Personally, I've been working on OnlineOrNot ( https://onlineornot.com/ ) for over two years - it's a set of uptime monitoring tools, with a hosted status page. There's an open source CLI ( https://github.com/onlineornot/onlineornot ), and a public API under active development.

Very nice! Took all of a minute to setup basic status checking for my personal web and mail servers. I'll definitely be recommending it to folks.

Thanks!

My side project is mainly just complaining about working for "the man" while not doing much about it. It's a crowded space, but it definitely makes less than $2k/mo!

Money isn't everything. It's good to pick something you can be passionate about.

We should team up, this is my side project, although it's also drooling over new ai developments.

The 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 :)

I assume they all are, but thankfully for the fisher(people), most hn users with products have large enough egos to not care about new competition, and thankfully for them most people fishing for ideas will probably have 10 new ones by next week and never implement any of them.. (I sure have done that a lot myself, haha).

I run two projects, both with zero income.

The first one is Fluent[0], to learn vocabulary by placing words on a canvas. Third iteration over the last several years.

Second is blogging platform nofuss[1], where you do all the publishing through the email.

WeCode NI (https://wecodeni.com) a job board for developer in Northern Ireland. It has paid me several thousand pounds over the last few years. This past few months have been quiet.

I’d be interested in a partner to help grow it and replicate for other cities.
