I really like what you've done here! Is it enough to live off? I think your product pages (Booklet, Postcard) are great. Booklet in particular is intriguing...

  Thanks! Yes, Booklet is where I spend most of my time. I think it's a big opportunity to have more of a hosted Discourse alternative. I'll work on some comparison pages - thanks for the suggestion. > Is it enough to live off of? I do a little bit of consulting [1] , which bridges the gap. That way, I'm not losing money building the company. Though, all of my products make revenue, and things are doing well in relative growth (+60% MoM last month) even if the absolute numbers aren't big. I did some consulting to bootstrap Moonlight [2] to profitability, and it worked. I find the consulting is motivating, because I get to work directly with founders on high-growth businesses. It maintains a sense of urgency, and makes sure I am building a business instead of an art project. I strongly believe that fractional work is the future, which is why one of the Contraption Co. projects is a community for fractional workers called FRCTNL [3]. Affiliate links on it have surprised me as a non-trivial revenue source.
