I make $10.000+ on a solitaire website called https://online-solitaire.com/ , that I made a while back.

Neat. I've made an implementation of Solitaire in JS (React/HTML/GSAP) - https://online-solitaire.com/ - but really interesting how it can be done in a low-level language like C.

Just realized that my first answer might not be the most helpful :-P. If you're still interested in becoming better at design, it's all about learning-by-doing. Much like development. I spend a lot of time on https://dr

Thanks a lot :-). Hit me up at contact@online-solitaire.com if you have any suggestions or feedback for the site. After 5 games or so, ads will start to appear. Just normal sidebar ads. I've made it so people won't be blasted with

Sorry for the confusion. They appear after about 5 games. It's just normal sidebar ads.

That's a tough one. One suggestion would be "don't". Most companies want either one or the other. I'm not a brilliant developer or a brilliant designer, which makes it hard for me to find my role in bigger companies

Sorry for the confusion. Forgot to mention they only appear after a while. After you've played 5 games (if I remember correctly) they'll start to appear. I think I spend about $60 a month hosting it. My biggest expense right now i

I'm a designer-turned-developer and created a nice-looking solitaire card game website: https://online-solitaire.com/ . It's making me around $1500 a month. My approach was to find a nice of apps that where already

I've been optimizing an old side-project of mine: https://online-solitaire.com/ . As you can probably guess from the URL, it's a solitaire card game site.

Dane here... we look at Sweden and sigh. The once prosperous and sensible country seems to have lost it. It's all about being "good" for other peoples money and it seems like there's a sort of self-hatred amongst ethnic

I'd love to follow your journey of marketing your product. If you intend to go hard on marketing this app and exploring ways to do that, can you put up an email form, so I know when your next blog post is?!

We've been thinking about that. Think the whole technical side will become very clumsy and cumbersome, very fast, if we add RSS support. Can see where you are coming from with that idea though. We're not going to support PDF'

Because we can would be the simple answer. The reason we have the cap on the percentages, is that we don't want to scare guys who already have a semi-established magazine away. I think even 5% (no cap) would scare a lot of more establi

1. Theoretically yes. This is probably something we should look into in the future by making links that "time out". 2. You can't have non-renewing subscription in a newsstand magazine. Apple doesn't allow that. 4. Can yo

Hmmm. Another way to see it would be that having a few months of issues might be a plus and incentive for a person to subscribe, which he might not have done otherwise. I'm not sure what kind of magazine you are planning to release, bu

Good question. We have looked into that and as long as you provide unique content in the different apps and there is a reason they can't be one app, then it should be ok. Look at what ChowNow is doing for example: https://it

Hi Adrian Thanks for the questions :-). 1. Seems like there's a bit of confusion on the web-functionality. There will be no "main directory" for your magazine, so people won't be able to browse all the content of your ma

What's stopping people from doing it online, is that there is no one place where people can browse and read all of your issues and articles. There is no "directory" for your magazine. The reason we are not implementing a sign

As it is now... no. We think it's too much of a barrier if people have to sign in to read a single article. There won't be a single place where people can find all of your articles though. They will only be visible through people

Code is not written in stone. Let us know what you're needs are and we'll see what we can do. We are still developing the product and we have been thinking about making it optional. Hit me with an email if you want to tell me more

Good question. We haven't looked so much into that yet, but we'd love to hear ideas. All your issues articles, are available online via uninkd as well. So when people share an article on Facebook or Twitter, they'll share a l

Thanks for the feedback. The $99 release fee is a ONE TIME FEE. You pay it once you have a magazine online and want to release it to the app store. You can release as many issues as you wish after that.
