#44Electronic lead screw for metal lathe - https://kachurovskiy.com/ - started about a week ago and sold 4 kits so far. Unit cost today is 61€ so margin is rather slim too.

I work in robotics, so I always find clean front-end implementations pretty neat. Can you tell me how you got this to work? How do you host all of it? What is the back end you use? I apologize if this seems too basic, but I'd appreciate any details you have for me. My goal for this summer is to work a bit on front end tech, so that I can present better visualizations, and build simple CRUD apps to showcase my data.
Thanks!

Made as a hobby during the pandemic -- it scrapes eBay listings for laptops, and provides a parametric search (RAM, SSD etc) inspired by the likes of Digikey and Mouser, and sorts on total value. I like to buy used electronics, but this kind of search is still shockingly bad on typical marketplaces (Amazon etc)
An example search to get you started: https://www.bytebucket.co/?mincpu=800&minram=12&minssd=500#t
pretty quickly finds for example an 11th gen Intel, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD laptop for ~$200. That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The really good deals get swiped up within a day or two though.

#47What's the definition of a side project? If it's not "something that you like to do", then doing a 2nd job will earn you much more than $2k/month (I think at least $10k/month).

#49https://masala-joy.vercel.app/ I scraped ~100k recipes from across the internet, and made this site to focus on south asian recipes (~2k). I will soon add features to better sort and filter these recipes by various diets, ingredients, and regions in South Asia. I just launched a few days ago, and no revenue yet.
Have fun going down the rabbit whole of parsing structured data from ingredient phrases. Had a fun few weeks with that!
