Show HN: Built a platform where devs/designers make $20k/mo from their work docs
Hey HN,
I noticed senior tech folks have valuable knowledge in their work docs – processes, templates, guides. This is expertise worth thousands, sitting unused. But they rarely share it: too busy for courses, unsure about value, or overwhelmed by setup.
I built Tapflow (https://tapflow.co https://tapflow.co) to fix this:
- Notion-like editor you already know
- Drop your content, set price
- Get instant product page
- Built-in payments
Numbers:
- Some early users made $20k+ from their products
- 1000+ registered pros, mostly word of mouth, Reddit and PH
- Profitable, bootstrapped side-project
Would love feedback:
- What stops you from sharing your expertise?
- How would you price your technical knowledge?
Try it: https://tapflow.co https://tapflow.co
Stack:
Backend: nginx, express.js, Apollo GraphQL, postgreSQL, redis, Stripe
Frontend: next.js, react-query, GraphQL, Material UI, yoopta wysiwyg Hosting: AWS, DigitalOcean, bunny.net
Free to use, 10% fee on sales or Pro tier.
- griciustadas 2y agoHow does this work? I mean what are the use cases for this platform? Do I still have to share my product page somewhere else or is there an organic traffic to your site?
- hewmax 2y agoIt’s not a marketplace (yet), so you’ll share your product page yourself. It’s built for quick publishing, ideal if you already have an audience.
- verdverm 2y agoIf people write for their employer, you cannot simply copy the documents over. They are the legal property of the employer in almost all cases
