Okay, let's say I can put in 10-15 hours a week. As I said earlier, I don't want to make a living out of this. I want to make useful things, useful enough for a person to pay me to do it. I don't have a revenue target in mind

Enterprise support I guess. If you are a big enterprise, and not in favor of dealing with Oracle/IBM support, this is a pretty good alternative.

Nice visualization, but could've been better. My major gripe is those small round icons. If they had conveyed something useful, say a brand name (L for lenovo, T for Toshiba and so on) that would've been useful. Second, there&#x27
