Hey I sell jewelry online as well (mostly Etsy and Shopify), and have been considering selling on fb marketplace. Do you pay for ads, or just make for sale posts? How often do you need to manage the posts? I know there are a ton of people who message sellers and then just waste their time. How do you handle customer support? Feel free to shoot me a message at jack at minardi dot org
Sent you an email with some info.
I got the idea in 2023 as I was solo traveling Florence, Italy and thought it would be much nicer to listen to stories about the monuments around me instead of having to read a guide. There is also so much more to be done: next, my plan is to create personalised itineraries based on your preferences, starting point, etc.
I tried paid marketing but found much more effective the SEO I have done on the website, and users seem to share with their friends and come back, which makes me happy.
Pretty basic 3d printing. Right now I'm focusing on the usual kinds of products (either commercial-compatible CC licenses or models of those I've purchased licenses to), but I'm working towards learning Autodesk Fusion and creating my own products. (Probably focus more on functional items, since I'm definitely not artistic). Netting around $500-1000 a month (eBay, Etsy, Mercari, some FB marketplace)
I believe Amazon has price rules such that you cannot price gouge on Amazon. Do the vendors you list have any rules like that? Or do you just not care?
I built an interactive Music Theory course 8 years ago over a winter break and it continues to bring in enough to pay my rent each month. I just thought there had to be a more intuitive way to learn music theory than the very boring and jargon-heavy alternatives. It uses Tone.js to include little interactive pianos, guitars, and other demos. I've done no marketing, it hit the HN front page for a day, and after that i…
Cool project. I have a dream to make something like this for drawing spatially. Came to the parent to share my current project which spell checks websites. It found a few small typos on your site. https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=www.lightnote.co&uui...
I've built https://cophone.io - your online smartphone, complete with a phone number. It is an Android system running in the cloud that you can access via a browser, even on mobiles. Things like microphone and webcam work nicely, so you can even have meetings on cophone. After iterating on it for a while, customers seem very happy and now growing day by day. No marketing so far, just being out there and posting on va…
I would love a local-run version of this on my windows machine! Same subscription price is fine.
I have built https://audiala.com which creates audioguides for historical and touristic places in cities all over the world. It brings a bit over $500/month in in-app purchases.

I run https://pastmaps.com as a lil' solo bootstrapped labor of love. Think Google Maps, but for OLD maps. It has 185K+ fully georeferenced high-res maps covering all of America, as well as satellite, LiDAR, and 3D layers to enable exploration through space and time. History is cool yo. And apparently lucrative - it currently makes ~$5000/mo and is slowly but surely growing through word of mouth

How is the content created and curated?
It's a board governance and minutes generation tool for fund administrators, trust companies etc. The types of firms that need to have regular meetings with directors and need those minutes formally captured.
But isn't there co-pilot for that? Yes, but no. Copilot can summarize a meeting - this is more regulatory orientated. So the agenda is set out, participants sent a pack before the meeting, and then minutes generated almost in real time to draft level of 80% accuracy. Ultimately means the process for managing and minuting a meeting is reduced from hours to minutes.
If we carry on doing well I suspect this will become more than a side project in 2025...
I was laid off at the start of 2024 and built https://interviewsolver.com which is an AI copilot for helping you with your leetcode interviews. Doing about 6k/month, though the space is becoming fairly crowded.
This is functionally identical to having someone off-screen feeding you the answers. Things like this will only make the interview process worse for applicants with even a shred of integrity. We need a "black book" for unethical developers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Book_(gambling)
