Mine is OnlineOrNot: https://onlineornot.com https://onlineornot.com What started as a week long project to experiment with uptime checking with Next.js and AWS Lambda turned into a multi-year project (approaching 4 years now). It now covers a much wider use case (status pages, uptime monitoring for websites, APIs and cron jobs). I'm thinking of hiring folks to grow it more, but the workload is still under two hours a day, before work. I wrote about the journey to get here, if you're curious: 2018: https://maxrozen.com/2018/12/31/2018-review-starting-an-internet-business https://maxrozen.com/2018/12/31/2018-review-starting-an-inte... 2019: https://maxrozen.com/2019/12/29/2019-further-reflections-trying-to-start-an-internet-business https://maxrozen.com/2019/12/29/2019-further-reflections-try... 2020: https://maxrozen.com/indiehacking-3-year-review https://maxrozen.com/indiehacking-3-year-review 2021: https://maxrozen.com/2021-strangers-paid-my-macbook https://maxrozen.com/2021-strangers-paid-my-macbook 2022: https://maxrozen.com/2022-just-keep-shipping https://maxrozen.com/2022-just-keep-shipping 2023: https://maxrozen.com/2023-focus-single-product-pays-off https://maxrozen.com/2023-focus-single-product-pays-off

Just read all of the posts, great story and very useful to understand the time involved to become actually profitable for indie hackers, it's not an overnight or even one year success like many people might erroneously believe. Somewhat related, would you be able to share rough financials for your products? I had looked into making and selling an uptime monitoring app as well, initially made for my own sites, but I found that even making 10k USD MRR seems very difficult compared to other types of products, probably due to the vast amount of competition in the space.
