Ask HN: Solo hackers making $1k+/mo, what are you selling?
- herbst 10y agoMy latest venture is https://ForwardMX.io https://ForwardMX.io but it only makes half that so far. The rest comes from content sites like https://ascii.li https://ascii.li and Adsense
- behnamoh 10y agoOh man, ascii.li is really cool! I wonder if it is based on some open-source project about ASCII, or you built the thing from the ground up?
- herbst 10y agoThanks! Depends, the site is from scratch in Rails, i filled the database with the kamojis by hand, as well as build the generator. Figlet and Cowsay are both based on open source projects (as linked on the bottom of them)
- behnamoh 10y agoThanks! I hope it will grow even more and wish you success!
