#302I've launched a couple months ago https://linkz.ai Linkz.ai is hyperlink auto-previews that keep visitors on your website. It's heavily inspired by Wikipedia & Google Docs link preview popups with special extras. For example, when you click on a YouTube hyperlink, it does not take you to Youtube website, instead it opens lightbox with Youtube video on your website. All with just one line of code. $500+/m in a first m…
This has some neat use cases but I dearly hope it doesn't become the norm...
Technically rich link previews save visitors from the tab-overload.

#304I built an iOS sex tracking app, Nice. https://nicetracker.app/ There were no sex tracking apps on the App Store that weren't focused the menstrual cycle, so I built my own. It now includes cool features such as syncing across iCloud devices, location recording, STD/STI tests, and most importantly, stats!
I thought it was cute, then saw the number of reviews which blew my mind! Is monthly revenue as low (<$5k) as SensorTower suggests?

#305I made ~$1000 in earnings in a weekend selling algorithmically generated posters of my art: https://spacefiller.space/prints This was a test run that went surprisingly well. I paused sales so that I can focus on reworking my process (it was very manual, hoping to make it completely automated) and design more posters.
Might I ask what you built it with?

That's pretty cool. Love to see a hardware project. What's the profit margin like? E-ink displays are expensive. That price point seems not enough to generate decent income.

I was curious... from what I can find online the wholesale price of an e-ink display is not that much cheaper (if any) than buying an equivalently sized Kindle. What is the viability of a business model that involves rooting a Kindle, loading whatever calendar display software you need, and shipping it inside a pretty wooden frame?

#310I launched www.rtljobs.com in October and had my first month of $500 in revenue in December. It's a job board that caters to a very specific subset of electrical engineers - specifically, ones that work with FPGAs and logic design for chips. Need help hiring FPGA or RTL engineers? Let's talk. fpga.rtl.jobs@gmail.com
