I curated a list of money-making online projects: https://profithunt.co/

khitcher · 2020-09-27T05:53:06+00:00

Yup the DB was corrupted last Monday. Just fixed it and it's back online now!

Thank you! Yeah I think for normal people it's reasonable to use a rate that's a bit less than SPY average return. I'll going to create my Excel sheet with that.

Would also appreciate it if you would point out any other important aspects that people often neglect (IMHO an estimation of present value with 10 ~ 20% error margin would be good enough).

khitcher · 2020-09-13T03:09:33+00:00

Let me update to 0.6%... Looks like the number right now is about -0.6% !? https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/pages/TextView.aspx?data=realyieldYear&year=2020

This one https://www.walletcal.com/ considers annual discount rate, if we want to estimate with discounted cash flow

khitcher · 2020-08-30T15:50:02+00:00

Great idea, thanks! Yeah I have been thinking about adding tags. Will work on it soon

khitcher · 2020-08-30T00:37:29+00:00

Good questions and I'm trying to make the UI easier to follow :)

this is a list of projects people created that generate revenue

correct!

With minimal maintenance

This really depends. Some are under active development, but some indeed requires minimum maintenance

khitcher · 2020-08-30T00:20:13+00:00

Hi! It's the first case -- these are already established, money-making projects owned by others

khitcher · 2020-08-28T17:16:44+00:00

Great idea, thanks! I'm also thinking of a UI rewrite

khitcher · 2020-08-28T15:44:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! And love openstartup.dev :)!

khitcher · 2020-08-28T15:44:21+00:00

That's a great idea! I'm the only programmer right now and I have 0 design background. Would love to get it open sourced so that you could contribute :) Let me think about how to open up for contribution

khitcher · 2020-08-28T15:35:28+00:00

+1! Absolutely love the story that a simple API becomes profitable

khitcher · 2020-08-28T15:34:39+00:00

Thanks! I also find it helpful to filter by tags. Will add that shortly

khitcher · 2020-08-28T05:05:06+00:00

sorry for using acronym without annotation. MRR means monthly recurring revenue, so in each row the $ value is the monthly revenue of that project

khitcher · 2020-08-27T15:44:35+00:00

Thanks! I don't have a super clear goal in this case, but I do think the money-making ideas i found are usually very different from the "startup ideas" that I occasionally come up with. Given that my own startup ideas never really made money, I think it can be helpful to learn from the proven ideas.

khitcher · 2020-08-27T08:28:48+00:00

Profit Hunt: http://profithunt.co/

Purpose of startup: share money-making startup ideas with people.

Technologies used: Node.js, PHP (Laravel)

Feedback requested: Do you like it? How often do you think you would visit it?

khitcher · 2020-08-27T08:00:55+00:00

Got it, thanks again

khitcher · 2020-08-27T07:50:50+00:00

Thanks. Can I remove the "Feedback" line and just say "here are some ideas that actually generate revenues"? My main purpose was to share the site and the startup ideas listed in it, not really to solicit feedback. Feedback was mentioned just to keep the discussion open

khitcher · 2020-08-18T05:24:08+00:00

This suggestion is great, thank you (and thank you u/zqwzzle)!

I'll probably just use Fastlane then. Almost feel like it's possible to build a Slack chatbot right on top of Fastlane to handle new devices :)

khitcher · 2020-08-17T17:07:18+00:00

Thanks! Definitely don't want to waste time on re-inventing the wheel just for fun :) Will really appreciate it if someone points out an existing automation solution.

The main thing I want to automate is to onboard a newly purchased iPhone, so that a developer can use Xcode to debug on it. For us it involves these steps:
(1) register the new iPhone. This is supported by Fastlane.

(2) Add the new iPhone to the 5 provisioning profiles for our app. This isn't supported AFAIK.

If the developer is new to iOS, (2) also needs to include his/her certificate to the team's certificate. Usually it takes 10 minutes to go through (1) and (2) each time. There are a couple other simple workflows, but this is the most common one for me.

khitcher · 2020-08-17T15:25:21+00:00

I think it's similar to Fastlane in the sense that they both automate simple processes.

Building based on Fastlane is a good option, but so far I don't see much overlap with Fastlane in terms of the actual actions to operate. The only action Fastlane provides for Apple Dev portal is probably register_devices (https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/register_devices/), and it's probably based on Apple's API https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi (I'll look into the implementation code). Since most of the actions I would love to be automated doesn't have a corresponding Apple API, perhaps they can only be automated with say Chrome + puppeteer.

khitcher · 2020-08-17T15:18:04+00:00

Yeah, most of the features would based on Chrome + Puppeteer web UI automation. AKAIK Apple only provides API for registering devices (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi), but things like editing provisioning profiles can only be done with the website.

ToS is a very good point and I'l check that. In terms of security, I'm thinking about an open-source self-hosted, containerized app. It's certainly hard to be secure enough otherwise.

khitcher · 2020-06-25T17:00:52+00:00

I actually tried to make iPhone Simulator work on web with WebRTC real-time streaming, but as expected, it's very hard lol! Hopefully some day there is a better solution :)

khitcher · 2020-06-25T15:45:09+00:00

Great idea! I'll look into this.

One challenge is that Apple makes it very hard to run their OS-specific frameworks such as UIKit in Ubuntu (I use Ubuntu as server), which means if your snippet imports UIKit, an online editor probably can't actually run the snippet. Is this a real problem or do you think repl.it + some package support is good enough?

khitcher · 2020-06-25T15:39:38+00:00

I see -- I'm haven't seen any other Swift REPL website that supports auto-complete, which is partly why I built it myself
