Lots of inspiring stories here! I am working on https://mockoon.com https://mockoon.com for 3 years now. It's an open-source API mocking application. It got a decent amount of users, including some big companies. While it doesn't bring any revenue yet, I believe I am at a turning point, and I should double down on this project by working full time on it. But it's a tough decision!

  Thanks :) I worked a lot on this and tried to craft a good product. More cool things are coming, mainly a CLI (in the coming months)

I built an on-demand remote browser product[0], and safe link opener[1], that hasn't generated any revenue. It took lots of time to create and I made it open source[2] but paid license and no one paid. I know people are using it because of the binary, npm CLI downloads, and use of the demos, and I had some inbound interest but mainly people who seemed to want to not pay, or were just prospecting tools for future possible features. I think an issue is that these products are mostly for enterprise and big orgs, who mostly want to buy from established brands or connected people. I tried posting on gum-road and using my linked in premium trial to message possible customers, as well as cold email, but I guess this "product" is not meant to be. That's OK since I was only releasing it to fund me as a layer of a larger product I'm building.
