Filestash [1] was born from the infamous top comment of the Dropbox launch [2] as it got me wondered if we could make a Dropbox like UI that is based on this interface: type IBackend interface { Ls(path string) ([]os.FileInfo, error) Cat(path string) (io.ReadCloser, error) Mkdir(path string) error Rm(path string) error Mv(from string, to string) error Save(path string, file io.Reader) error Touch(path string) error }…
how long did it take you until this point ?

#82Earlier quoted context omitted.
Cool! It's been super useful personally and hard to describe without sounding scammy because people don't believe there's free money just sitting out there. Need to put some more work into it, but there's so many sites that could be added and the bonuses really tally up if you collect from all of them (I have a running list and right now it's around $20/day in bonuses if you collect from every site on the list).
So how do you withdraw the funds? Or do they sit in the online casino's site for you to put a bet on or something?

#84Serious question but does anyone get any value out of these threads? Most of the time it just devolves into hundreds of comments with links to random projects hoping to get traffic. I think to make it more worthwhile people posting here please write a little about your tech stack, why you made it, what are your struggles, and tips for other founders, etc.

#85https://gifmemes.io/ Made 240 USD in December. About 9k visitors and 27k page views tracked through plausible. Spent maybe 5 hours working on the codebase in 2023, which makes a solid ((240 * 12) / 10) = 288 USD / hour. All of the money are from the watermark removal sales (10 USD). A lot of people say I could be making much more with some subscription model, but so far I'm resisting. (And the codebase is a mess :D )

#89I built https://www.CheckYourList.app originally for myself for spontanous checklists that I go through regularly. Happy to say it just passed $500 a month recently :)
I've been thinking about doing an iOS app for awhile now.
Does this have a backend of some kind? What's your tech stack? All SwiftUI, or Expo/React Native?

#90Marketing is challenging, and have only really had some minor success using ppc. Also, I have a fairly high churn rate (like 30%). From talking with users, it's mostly from individuals or small business owners that convert their statements from the year and then are done. Book keepers and CPAs tend to keep their subscriptions, which makes sense.
