I built an interactive Music Theory course 8 years ago over a winter break and it continues to bring in enough to pay my rent each month. 8 年前的一个寒假,我开设了一门互动式音乐理论课程,每月的收入足以支付我的房租。
I just thought there had to be a more intuitive way to learn music theory than the very boring and jargon-heavy alternatives. 我只是觉得,比起那些枯燥乏味、术语繁多的学习方法,应该有一种更直观的方法来学习音乐理论。
It uses Tone.js to include little interactive pianos, guitars, and other demos. 它使用 Tone.js 加入了交互式小钢琴、吉他和其他演示。↳
I've done no marketing, it hit the HN front page for a day, and after that initial spike in traffic has been fairly consistent over the past 8 years. 我没有做任何营销,它在 HN 的头版登了一天,在那之后的 8 年里,流量一直相当稳定。↳
It uses Stripe for payments and for the first few years it was only Stripe. 3 years in I decided to add PayPal support... revenue doubled overnight, mostly from international customers. 它使用 Stripe 进行支付,最初几年只使用 Stripe。三年后,我决定添加 PayPal 支持......收入一夜之间翻了一番,其中大部分来自国际客户。↳
Over the years I have run a few A/B tests on the landing page. I tried some variations I thought MUST improve the conversion rate. However, this one, which is basically the original one, is still the best performer. 多年来,我在着陆页上进行了一些 A/B 测试。我尝试了一些我认为可以提高转化率的变体。然而,这个基本上是原版的页面仍然是表现最好的。
Another plus for your landing page. It’s amazing how many landing pages vomit features the developer is excited about but never explain why I need their product. 着陆页的另一个优点。令人惊讶的是,有多少登陆页面吐露了开发人员兴奋不已的功能,却从未解释过我为什么需要他们的产品。
I clicked through to the website after your comment. Landing pages are too often a wall of text, this one is a great example of how they can be done correctly. 在您发表评论后,我点击进入了网站。着陆页通常都是一堵文字墙,这个着陆页就是一个很好的例子,说明了如何正确地完成着陆页。
Yeah, this is one of the most compelling landing pages I've ever clicked on. Actually dropping me straight into the first lesson before I hit the paywall is very effective. 是的,这是我点击过的最引人注目的登陆页面之一。在我点击付费墙之前就直接进入第一课,这非常有效。
I'm impressed! Every couple of years I come across a different music theory website and I try to follow along, but inevitably after a few sentences I'm completely lost and the rest becomes incomprehensible. 我印象深刻!每隔几年,我都会浏览一个不同的音乐理论网站,并试着跟读,但不可避免的是,读了几句之后,我就完全迷失了方向,剩下的内容也变得难以理解。
I got really far along in yours, which was great, until I got to 6 (Keys): "When a song says that it is in the key of C Major or D Minor this is simply telling you which of the 12 notes are used in this song." You then give examples of Major and Minor keys, each of which contains seven notes. This threw me for a loop. Are you saying every song consists of exactly seven notes (some repeated, obviously) from only one key? Or are you saying every song uses at least some notes from a key? Also, don't some songs switch keys in the middle? 我在你的课程里学了很久,这很棒,直到我学到第 6 课(调式):"当一首歌说它是 C 大调或 D 小调时,这只是告诉你这首歌使用了 12 个音符中的哪一个。然后您举例说明了大调和小调,每个调都包含 7 个音符。这让我大吃一惊。你是说每首歌都只包含一个调的七个音符(有些显然是重复的)?还是说每首歌都至少使用了一个调的某些音符?另外,有些歌曲不是会在中间切换调性吗?↳
Not looking for answers here, just wanted to point out where I got stuck so maybe you can add some clarity to that section. 我不想在这里寻求答案,只是想指出我在哪里卡住了,也许你能在这一部分补充一些说明。
You have to understand that music theory is not a set of rules to follow, its a set of ideas that sound good to western ears and therefore are very commonly found in most music. 你必须明白,音乐理论并不是一套需要遵循的规则,而是一套西方人听起来很好的理念,因此在大多数音乐中都很常见。
Not every song, but much western music, especially pop music and nursary rhymes, will stick to the same major or minor scale of notes for the whole song. Going outside of this scale is quite normal too and changing the scale/key multiple times in a song is also quite common. 并非每首歌都是如此,但许多西方音乐,尤其是流行音乐和童谣,整首歌都会坚持使用相同的大调或小调音阶。超出这个音阶也很正常,在一首歌中多次改变音阶/调也很常见。
The point of learning music theory is to give you a toolbox so that you can both recognise patterns in music you are listening to, as well as give you some ideas of what sounds good when you compose or improvise. 学习乐理的意义在于为你提供一个工具箱,让你在聆听音乐时既能识别其中的规律,又能让你在作曲或即兴创作时有一些听起来不错的想法。↳
This is quite similar to mathematics where in school we dogmatically teach students how to do arithmetic in the base-10 euclidean system, because having deep fluency in one system is more useful than having a little understanding of many systems. 这与数学很相似,在学校里,我们教条地教学生如何用基数为 10 的欧几里得系统进行运算,因为熟练掌握一种系统比对多种系统略有了解更有用。↳
I certainly understand that in any system (not just music), some rules can be broken at certain times for various reasons (safety, aesthetics, etc.). To combine what you're saying with what I was saying, I would like to see, at least in this case, a better explanation of what exceptions are commonly made to these rules (e.g. using non-standard chords) and when they are made (e.g. in music from region XYZ). 我当然明白,在任何系统中(不仅仅是音乐),出于各种原因(安全、美观等),某些规则在某些时候是可以被打破的。把你说的和我说的结合起来,我希望看到,至少在这种情况下,更好地解释这些规则通常会有哪些例外(例如使用非标准和弦),以及何时会有例外(例如在 XYZ 地区的音乐中)。
In fact, I'd argue that such explanations are critical even when you're learning any kind of theory since it tells you when the theory breaks down, whether that's because it simply doesn't fit the task, because people like to get creative, etc. 事实上,我认为即使是在学习任何一种理论时,这种解释也是至关重要的,因为它能告诉你理论何时崩溃,是因为它根本不适合任务,还是因为人们喜欢发挥创造力,等等。
You've missed my first point. It's not rules. There are no rules to break. The "broken rules" simply describes systems within music that you haven't been introduced to yet. For example, major and minor are also called "ionean" and "aeolean" "modes" respectively, and these sit within a set of 8 modes. There are also blues and jazz scales, names for music that break out of standard tuning. There is a style called "12 tone" (of which an example is Also Sprach Zarathustra) which uses deliberate dissonance. 你忽略了我的第一点。这不是规则。没有规则可以打破。打破的规则 "只是描述了你尚未了解的音乐系统。例如,大调和小调也分别被称为 "ionean "和 "aeolean "调式,它们属于 8 个调式中的一个。此外,还有蓝调音阶和爵士乐音阶,它们是打破标准调式的音乐名称。有一种风格被称为 "12 音调"(《查拉图斯特拉如是说》就是其中一例),这种风格故意使用不和谐音调。
You simply aren't up to that part yet, because classical western music training teaches the more common ideas which are in music that the punters listen to first. (Mainly because people generally need a few years playing music before they develope a taste for these things anyway) 因为西方古典音乐培训首先教授的是音乐中更常见的理念,而这些理念正是听众最先聆听的。(主要原因是,人们一般需要玩上几年音乐后才会对这些东西产生兴趣)。
I am aware you didn't specifically ask for answer, but I was not satisfied with the answers you got :-), so I'll add my two cents.. I have 3 points to make.
(1) The first is about 'when does it make sense for a song to use more than 7 notes?'
WHEN we do this, we will often say "this song uses a key change".
Some keys have partial overlap - note-sequences they share, and ranges where they differ.
One elegant way to exploit this, is to let the song meander into the common range of the two keys, and then meander OUT of that range into a different key that we used to get IN to that range.
This can produce a cool surprise effect, a bit like looking at those optical illusion pictures that you can look at two ways. A similar trick can be used with rhythms that overlap, instead of frequencies that overlap. 我知道你并没有特别要求我回答你的问题,但我对你的回答并不满意 :-),所以我想补充两点。我有三点看法(1) 第一点是关于 "一首歌曲何时使用 7 个以上的音符才有意义?当我们这样做时,我们通常会说 "这首歌使用了调性变化"。有些调式有部分重叠--它们共享音符序列,也有不同的音域。利用这一点的一种优雅方法是,让歌曲蜿蜒进入两个调性的共同音域,然后再从该音域蜿蜒进入我们用来进入该音域的不同调性。这可以产生一种很酷的惊喜效果,有点像看那些你可以从两个角度看的光学幻象图片。类似的技巧还可以用在重叠的节奏上,而不是重叠的频率上。
(2) Where does the "rule" of 7 come from, ie what shapes it:
As you know, notes have harmonic friends that they resonate well with.
So when you are picking a 'colour palette' of notes that go well together, you will of course often pick such 'friends'. However, the more notes you already have in your picked pool, the harder it gets to add another note, that will still mesh nicely with all those previous choices. Your remaining choices will be more and more likely to clash; in particular it will be more and more likely to be "close" to one of your existing choices. And close notes clash. So, on a 12-note scale, 7 is about the optimal number of tones you can pick without them clashing too much. It is just a convention however, so some stubborn individual might come up with an 8-note scale. Once you start with 8 notes, you would be tempted to employ extra "OK I have 8 notes, but I try to avoid playing THOSE TWO back to back"-rules. (2) 7 的 "规则 "从何而来,即是什么形成了它:众所周知,音符都有与之共鸣的和声朋友。因此,当你在挑选 "调色板 "上的音符时,你当然会经常挑选这样的 "朋友"。然而,你所挑选的音符越多,就越难再添加一个能与之前所有音符完美搭配的音符。你剩下的选择将越来越有可能发生冲突;特别是,它将越来越有可能与你现有的选择之一 "接近"。而接近的音符就会发生冲突。因此,在 12 个音阶中,7 个音调是你能选择的最佳音调数量,而不会出现太大的冲突。不过,这只是一个惯例,所以有些固执的人可能会选择 8 个音阶。一旦你开始使用 8 个音符,你就会倾向于使用额外的 "好吧,我有 8 个音符,但我尽量避免背靠背演奏这两个音符 "的规则。
Then again, I often hear my 10-year old loudly playing .. sounds(music?) from tiktok and its ilk,
and as an old geezer, I am starting to think that some of our youngsters have given up on scales altogether.. 话说回来,我经常听到我 10 岁的孩子大声演奏......tiktok 及其同类的声音(音乐?),作为一个老顽固,我开始认为我们的一些年轻人已经完全放弃了音阶。
I have no idea what my third point was, at this point. 我现在也不知道我的第三点是什么。
The sentence you quoted is a decent simplification but you probably shouldn’t take it too literally. It’s not really that the melody uses exactly seven notes. It is that these seven notes form the harmonic context that the chords and melody sits in. Normally that also means that the notes in question will be the most common ones in both chords and melody, but you can certainly use other notes as well. 你引用的句子是一个很好的简化,但你可能不应该太照本宣科。这并不是说旋律恰好使用了七个音符。而是这七个音符构成了和弦和旋律的和声背景。通常情况下,这也意味着和弦和旋律中最常用的音符,但您当然也可以使用其他音符。
A key is really an “I know it when I hear it” thing. The notes used are just one of many clues working together. 音调实际上是一种 "我一听就知道 "的东西。所使用的音符只是众多线索中的一个。
Cool project. I have a dream to make something like this for drawing spatially. 很酷的项目。我有一个梦想,就是做一个这样的东西来绘制空间图。
Came to the parent to share my current project which spell checks websites. It found a few small typos on your site. https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=www.lightnote.co&uui... 来与各位家长分享我目前正在进行的网站拼写检查项目。它在您的网站上发现了几个小错别字。https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=www.lightnote.co&uui...
Taking a look. For the past two years I've been thinking about drawing. Why it's difficult, how its possible for people like Kim Jung Gi to draw from their imagination. My theory is that it's a learned thing (as opposed to innate ability), but that it's not taught from primitives well. For example, rotating a cube is something that you cannot really find an explanation for. I think the actual difficulty in drawing (representational-ly) boils down to preserving the identity of objects through rotation. This difficulty is preserved in the presence of perspective or not (orthographic projection). 看一看在过去的两年里,我一直在思考绘画。为什么画画很难,像 Kim Jung Gi 这样的人怎么可能凭想象力画画。我的理论是,绘画是一种学习(而不是与生俱来的能力),但它并不是从最原始的东西开始学习的。举例来说,旋转立方体是一件无法解释的事情。我认为,绘画的实际困难(从表象上来说)可以归结为通过旋转来保持物体的特性。无论是否存在透视(正投影),这种困难都会存在。
Drawabox is based on doing exercises to improve your mark making (the accuracy of the marks you draw on the page) and eventually leads to you drawing hundreds of boxes in perspective as a consistent exercise. A lot of people swear by it. I enjoyed the first week of it but decided that drawing is not a priority right now. Drawabox 的基础是通过练习来提高你的标记能力(你在页面上所画标记的准确性),并最终让你以透视的方式画出数以百计的方框作为一种持续的练习。很多人都对它赞不绝口。我很喜欢第一周的练习,但我觉得现在画画不是首要任务。
It is a good resource. Drawabox doesn't actually teach you how to rotate cubes. That was pretty frustrating to me. 这是一个很好的资源。Drawabox 实际上并不教你如何旋转立方体。这让我非常沮丧。
I created a little game which doesn't explain it, but allows you to practice and get feedback:
https://cdsb.itch.io/draw-cube 我制作了一个小游戏,虽然没有解释,但可以让你练习并获得反馈: https://cdsb.itch.io/draw-cube
Forget it. There's very little that can be taught about drawing. 算了吧。关于绘画,能教的东西很少。
Drawing from model is about being the kind of character that enjoys spending hours tweaking at tiny details and measuring measuring measuring. Anybody willing to sit 3 hours in front of the model every day can learn it, if he understands that he must measure. 根据模型作画就是要成为那种喜欢花几个小时来调整微小细节和测量测量的人。任何愿意每天在模型前坐 3 个小时的人都可以学会,只要他明白必须测量。
Drawing from imagination like Kim Jung Gi on the other hand is about doing that every day most of the day since you were a little kid, and you probably need an innate ability to boot (and that might be some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder / autism...). 另一方面,像 Kim Jung Gi 这样凭想象作画,则是从小到大每天都要做的事,你可能需要一种与生俱来的能力(可能是某种形式的强迫症或自闭症......)。
Yeah, I'm not referring to drawing which is copying. 是的,我指的不是绘画,绘画是复制。
> There's very little that can be taught about drawing. > 关于绘画,能教的东西很少。
While drawing from the imagination is largely about using the intuition. The intuition can be trained just like the more analytical side of the brain. I can teach you a few properties of rotation/space, etc, and then give you the right exercises, and then you won't need to use construction to draw. 想象力在很大程度上就是直觉。直觉是可以训练的,就像大脑的分析能力一样。我可以教你一些旋转/空间等方面的属性,然后给你正确的练习,这样你就不需要用构造来画画了。
KJG does have some innate ability, and he was clearly obsessed, but it's not actually the bulk of his method. He has a video about drawing scissors. He can articulate nearly everything he is drawing, specifically the function which guides the design. There are others who can draw like him. Look up Tom Fox. KJG 确实有一些与生俱来的能力,而且他显然很痴迷,但这并不是他的主要方法。他有一个关于画剪刀的视频。他几乎能清楚地表达出他所画的一切,特别是指导设计的功能。还有其他人能像他一样画画。查找汤姆-福克斯。
I've been building something in a similar space over at https://muted.io/. It's been just about paying out my rent and food in the past year. 我一直在 https://muted.io/ 上建立一个类似的空间。在过去的一年里,我一直在支付房租和伙食费。
I've been pretty impressed at Lightnote and how its executed and actually tried to reach out to the creator a couple of times for potential collaborations. Not sure if my messages made it through. Lightnote给我留下了深刻印象,它的执行方式也给我留下了深刻印象。我不确定我的信息是否能送达。
You site is insane! I clicked the keyboard as a lark and it totally got me intrigued about the entire rest of the site. I was smiling as I read the explainations. 你们的网站太疯狂了!我无意中点击了键盘,结果就对整个网站的其他部分产生了浓厚的兴趣。我边看边笑。
Ah, yeah that is misleading. Let me clarify. 啊,是的,这是误导。让我澄清一下。
The landing page is what I built over the winter break, including those first 7 lessons. Since then that page has remained largely unchanged. 登陆页面是我在寒假期间创建的,包括最初的 7 节课。从那时起,该页面基本保持不变。
However, when it started getting a lot of traffic I added a pre-order form for a full course. THAT took me 6 months to code up all the additional lessons. Building all the interactive pieces (drum synths for rhythm lessons, an ear training game for intervals, a virtual guitar, etc.) was really fun but a lot of work. For example, the interactive guitar uses samples I recorded note-by-note from my acoustic guitar in my bedroom. Afterwards I couldn't look at it for months. And then over the years I've added more. 但是,当它开始获得大量流量时,我增加了一个完整课程的预购表单。我花了 6 个月的时间编写了所有附加课程的代码。编写所有的互动内容(节奏课的鼓合成器、音程的练耳游戏、虚拟吉他等)非常有趣,但也很费事。例如,互动吉他使用的采样是我在卧室里用木吉他逐个音符录制的。之后我好几个月都不敢看它。这些年来,我又添加了更多。
Would love it if you could go into more detail about those two weeks. Had you already played around with tone.js beforehand? Did you have an idea or a draft written up for that initial lesson so you knew what was gonna be in it, and was it your initial vision to have a picture of each waveform accompanied by the sound, and buttons for each note in the scale? Did you have to change part of your design (even small details) when you discovered that it was hard to build something a certain way and that another way would be easier? 如果你能更详细地介绍这两周的情况,我会非常高兴。在此之前,你是否已经玩过 tone.js?你是否已经为最初的课程写好了想法或草稿,所以你知道里面会有什么内容?你最初的设想是让每个波形的图片都伴有声音,并为音阶中的每个音符设置按钮吗?当你发现以某种方式制作很难,而另一种方式会更容易时,你是否不得不改变部分设计(即使是小细节)?
I'm curious where you get your traffic from / if it's fairly consistent and if you have any marketing costs. Thanks! 我很好奇你们的流量来自哪里/是否相当稳定,以及你们是否有任何营销成本。谢谢!
Related thought - Is there a good way to search for projects like this? I know there are hundreds of these passion projects that never show up in google. 相关想法 - 有没有搜索类似项目的好方法?我知道有数以百计的激情项目从未在谷歌中出现过。
Ex) This year I want to get better at playing piano. Reddit and google bring up a few consistent big name links. I'd love to support a well-produced course by a creator like this, but have no idea how to find it. 例)今年我想把钢琴弹得更好。Reddit 和谷歌上都能找到一些大名鼎鼎的链接。我很想支持这样的创作者制作的课程,但却不知道如何找到它。
I sent you an email in Feb 2023 about a video that wouldn't load. I'm not sure whether you saw it, as I didn't see a reply: 我在 2023 年 2 月给你发了一封关于视频无法加载的邮件。我不确定你是否看到了,因为我没有看到回复:
One of the embedded videos on the progressions page is no longer available on YouTube. I'm not sure whether you're still maintaining lightnote, but thought I'd let you know anyway :)
I’m a customer and it’s awesome. I think we’ve even exchanged emails about some questions I’ve had. When I paid for the premium version I thought it was super good for what I was getting. You must be getting a ton of traffic for it to still be paying rent after 8 years! Congrats! 我是它的客户,它很棒。我想我们甚至还就我的一些问题交换过邮件。当我付费购买高级版时,我觉得它性价比超高。你一定获得了大量流量,才能在 8 年后还在支付租金!祝贺你
I've wanted to learn Music Theory for about a decade (only learned guitar tabs as a teen and to read sheet music as an adult). Love what you made and just got the premium course. 我想学习乐理已经有十年了(只在青少年时期学过吉他谱,成年后才开始阅读乐谱)。我喜欢你做的东西,刚买了高级课程。
Fantastic site! Well done, beautifully executed, and very inviting. 奇妙的网站!做得好,执行得漂亮,非常吸引人。
I play the guitar (and keys) -- but I'm a bit light on the theory part of it -- and this looks very much like I could use a refresher. 我弹吉他(和键盘)--但我对吉他的理论部分不太熟悉--这看起来非常像我需要的复习资料。
But every year around the holidays a bunch of folks request this. I tell them to buy the course, and then email me who they'd like to gift it to. Then I just manually create a new account and send an email saying so-and-so bought you this course with the login! nathan [at] lightnote.co 但每年节假日前后,都会有很多人提出这样的要求。我告诉他们购买课程,然后给我发电子邮件告诉我他们想把课程送给谁。然后,我就手动创建一个新账户,并发送一封电子邮件,说某某某给你买了这门课程,并附上登录名 Nathan [at] lightnote.co
> I have not implemented this (yet). > 我还没有实现这一点(尚未)。
> But every year around the holidays a bunch of folks request this. I tell them to buy the course, and then email me who they'd like to gift it to. > 但每年节假日前后,都有很多人要求这样做。我让他们先买课程,然后给我发电子邮件,告诉我他们想把课程送给谁。
You could add an MVP by having a "Gift a subscription" link that leads to a page saying "buy a subscription and then click this link to email me who you want to gift it to". That at least means you don't have to keep answering the question for people. 您可以通过 "赠送订阅 "链接增加一个 MVP,该链接会跳转到一个页面,上面写着 "购买订阅,然后点击此链接给我发电子邮件,告诉我您想把它赠送给谁"。这至少意味着你不必一直回答别人的问题。
On Firefox Android, in step four, I managed to get into a situation where one of the notes kept playing. It occurred when pressing too many keys on the keyboard demonstrating the chromatic scale. Pressing each key again for not "unstuck" it. 在火狐安卓系统上,在第四步中,我遇到了一个音符不停播放的情况。这是在演示半音阶时按下键盘上太多键时发生的。再次按下每个键也无法 "解锁"。
And if I'm already providing feedback, then a nice improvement for the end of step two would be an option to hear the two notes of the displayed waves, together. 如果我已经提供了反馈,那么第二步末尾的一个很好的改进就是可以选择同时听到所显示波形的两个音符。
This is great. I started creating something like this almost twenty years ago, but didn't finish. You're living my dream. :) Kudos to you! 这太棒了。我差不多二十年前就开始创作这样的作品,但没有完成。你实现了我的梦想。)为您点赞!
It's been paying his rent for 8 years, I think fortune's on his side ;) The landing page got me too and I signed up 它已经为他支付了 8 年的房租,我想幸运之神会眷顾他的;)登陆页面也吸引了我,我注册了
Very nice. I'd suggest adding another deluxe bundle for non-Guitarists without the guitar theory. I'd pay extra for the ear training + the base package. 非常好。我建议为没有吉他理论的非吉他手增加一个豪华套餐。我愿意花额外的钱购买视唱练耳和基础套装。
Hey! My son used your site! So, thanks for that. This was a couple of years ago that a music teacher recommended it to him to help boost his progress. I think you continue to sell because your prices are very good for what you are offering, and the site is designed in a way that allows anyone to pick up on things fairly quickly. 嘿!我儿子用过你的网站!谢谢。几年前,一位音乐老师向他推荐了这个网站,以帮助他取得进步。我认为,你们的产品之所以能持续热销,是因为你们的产品价格实惠,而且网站的设计方式让任何人都能很快上手。
Wow. I’m very impressed by the site and even more so by how you did it over a winter break. It’s definitely very intuitive and I’ve been looking for a way to learn music theory as an adult. Thank you! 哇这个网站给我留下了深刻的印象,而你是如何利用寒假时间完成的,更让我印象深刻。这绝对是非常直观的,我一直在寻找一种作为成年人学习乐理的方法。谢谢!
When I was learning guitar a few years ago, I came across your website and really loved it. But after that, I forgot about it. Your website is great, very easy to undersand, and the UI is also great. 几年前我学吉他的时候,看到了你的网站,非常喜欢。但在那之后,我就把它忘了。你们的网站很棒,很容易理解,用户界面也很棒。
Thank you for mentioning the effect of Paypal, that's very interesting. Did you add it as a full-on alternative to Stripe, or just activate the payment method in Stripe ? 谢谢你提到 Paypal 的作用,这非常有趣。你是把它作为 Stripe 的完全替代方案添加进来的,还是只是在 Stripe 中激活了付款方式?
Love it, and I very much understand the level of work that went into making it (beyond your initial landing page). Good way to test the water then build the full product. 我很喜欢它,而且我非常理解制作它(除了你最初的登陆页面)所付出的努力。先试水再打造完整产品的好方法。
It's awesome! It's so accessible, from now on I'm gonna send it to my non-musician friends whenever they show any interest in music. 太棒了!从现在开始,只要我的非音乐家朋友对音乐感兴趣,我就会把它发给他们。
https://FreeSolitaire.win brings around $500/mo in advertising revenue. It’s a Klondike Solitaire PWA (progressive web application). https://FreeSolitaire.win 每月带来约 500 美元的广告收入。这是一个克朗代克接龙 PWA(渐进式网络应用程序)。
I started making it in 2016 and I’ve been slowly iterating on it over time. It has stayed minimal & lightweight, on purpose. No framework, no cruft, no obtrusive ads. 我从 2016 年开始制作它,并随着时间的推移慢慢迭代。它一直保持着极简和轻量级,这也是我的目的。没有框架,没有杂物,没有碍眼的广告。
Fun fact: because it’s so lightweight, it was included in 2020 in Moya (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya), a popular messaging app in South Africa that is “data-free” for users (it does reverse-billing). Now ~40% of players are South Africans! 有趣的事实:因为它非常轻便,所以在 2020 年被纳入南非流行的信息应用程序 Moya ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.bi.moya),该应用程序对用户 "免数据"(反向计费)。现在,约 40% 的玩家是南非人!
Discussed on HN from to time, for instance: 例如,HN 上就时常讨论这个问题:
— https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41971887 (43 days ago, 25 points) “Quick side-note. Thank you for freesolitaire.win. It's such a beautiful implementation of solitaire. Works so well as a PWA, I can enjoy it even without proper internet connection, it's simple, does the basics, but does it perfectly. There's nothing to add to it, but more importantly... nothing to take out.” (!) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41971887 (43 天前,25 点)"快速题外话。感谢 freesolitaire.win。它是纸牌游戏的完美实现。作为一个 PWA,它运行得非常好,即使没有适当的网络连接,我也能享受它的乐趣。它很简单,只做了最基本的工作,但做得非常完美。没有什么可添加的,但更重要的是......没有什么可删除的"。(!)
This is neat! First off, the app itself is really nicely diesigned, props. Before the Moya thing, how did you lure people to your site? I assume there are literally hundreds of places where you can play Solitaire in the browser like this? 这款软件很不错!首先,这个应用程序本身的设计非常漂亮,值得称赞。在莫亚事件之前,你是如何吸引人们访问你的网站的?我想有成百上千的地方可以像这样在浏览器中玩纸牌游戏吧?
Wrt attracting visitors: Word of mouth, mainly. Posted it on Reddit back then, things like that. It grew organically from that. And, although it’s far from being on top results on SERP (search engine result pages), some people do find it that way. But yes, the Moya thing was a big boost! 关于吸引游客:主要是口口相传。当时在 Reddit 上发布过,诸如此类。它就这样有机地发展起来了。而且,虽然它还远远没有出现在 SERP(搜索引擎结果页面)的顶部结果中,但确实有人通过这种方式找到了它。是的,莫亚事件是一个很大的推动力!
Just spent the last 10 minutes playing, while having my morning coffee. I can honestly not remember when I last played Solitaire. Decades I think. 刚花了 10 分钟边喝早咖啡边玩。老实说,我都不记得上次玩纸牌是什么时候了。几十年了吧。
Thank you for making this, it brought some joy to my day. 谢谢你做了这个,它给我的一天带来了一些欢乐。
If it brought you joy, then you made my day <3 Indeed Solitaire is, like chess or go, a timeless game. 如果它给你带来了快乐,那么你让我今天过得很开心 <3 的确,纸牌和象棋、围棋一样,是一种永恒的游戏。
It’s also a good way to spend the time, like when you are commuting.
Keep in mind that https://FreeSolitaire.win works offline (after the 1st visit, using a service worker: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Wor...) ;-) 这也是打发时间的好方法,比如在上下班途中。请记住,https://FreeSolitaire.win 可以离线工作(第一次访问后,使用服务工作者:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Wor......);-)
That's cool, even with 40% of players being from ZA, I'm guessing most of your revenue doesn't come from them? (unless the other 60% are even lower RPM countries) Curious what % of revenue they account for 这很酷,即使有 40% 的玩家来自南非,我猜你们的大部分收入也不是来自他们?(除非另外 60% 是 RPM 更低的国家)我很好奇他们占收入的百分比是多少?

- This is the first Solitaire game I've played where I was able to move a card from its suit stack back onto the board (or maybe I just didn't try before). Either way, I like that :) - 我希望能双击一张牌,让它自动移到相应的花色堆里(如果可能的话)--这是我玩过的第一个能把牌从花色堆里移回棋盘上的纸牌接龙游戏(也许是我以前没试过)。不管怎样,我都很喜欢)
> I wish I could double-click a card to automatically move it up to its respective suit stack (if possible) > 我希望能双击一张牌,将它自动移到相应的牌型堆中(如果可能的话)。
Oh but you can! 你可以的
But, as I said recently (in an e-mail to another player): “Someone once told me about how ‘double-click is finicky on Windows/Chrome’. But now you are two encountering the same issue, and not on the same OS/browser combo. So it looks like problem is in the game. Thanks, I shall look into it.” 但是,正如我最近(在给另一位玩家的电子邮件中)所说的那样:"有人曾跟我说过'双击在 Windows/Chrome 系统上很麻烦'。但现在你们两个遇到了同样的问题,而且不是在同一个操作系统/浏览器组合上。看来问题出在游戏上。谢谢,我会调查清楚的。
> able to move a card from its suit stack back onto the board […] Either way, I like that > 能够将一张牌从其花色堆中移回棋盘上[......]无论如何,我都喜欢这样做
That’s on purpose, glad you like it! It can help you get unstuck sometimes. 这是故意的,很高兴你喜欢!有时它能帮你摆脱困境。
Great app, everything seems to work well. The only thing I noticed was that the suit symbols on the cards are a little odd because they're all the same size (almost?) so a 3 looks like it has 5 symbols on it, etc. But that's minor! 很棒的应用程序,一切看起来都很好用。我唯一注意到的是,牌上的花色符号有点奇怪,因为它们的大小都一样(差不多吧),所以 3 看起来像是有 5 个符号,等等。但这只是小问题!
“But that's minor!”: minor maybe, but that’s an issue. Yes, both the central and corner symbols (“pips”, as they are called) are almost the same size. "但这是小事!":也许是小事,但这是个问题。是的,中心符号和角符号(即 "点")的大小几乎一样。
It’s even worse with the court cards (aka “picture cards”: jack, queen, king). Out of laziness and for space-saving, they all share the same design: their suit symbol, in big, in the center (and the two corner pips). Not easy to distinguish between them easily/quickly, especially if your sight isn’t good. 宫廷牌(又称 "图片牌":J、Q、K)的情况更糟。出于懒惰和节省空间的考虑,它们的设计都是一样的:花色符号,大号,在中间(还有两个角上的小点)。不容易区分,尤其是视力不好的人。
I should do something about all that, one of these days. Thank you for your feedback! 总有一天,我应该为这一切做点什么。感谢您的反馈!
Thanks for sharing. Are the revenue generated based on the ads on the website ? Are they generated per number of clicks on the ads ? How does it work with ad blockers ? Thanks 感谢您的分享。收入是根据网站上的广告产生的吗?是按广告点击次数产生收入吗?如何与广告拦截器配合使用?谢谢
Yes, revenue is ads-based (and a few donations). I use Google AdSense. ~40% of players use an ad-blocker; I let them block ads, I don’t play cat-and-mouse. 是的,收入来自广告(和一些捐赠)。我使用 Google AdSense。~约 40% 的玩家使用广告屏蔽器;我让他们屏蔽广告,我不玩猫捉老鼠的游戏。
Regarding reverse billing: I don’t know much. I am not myself billed by Moya, although they do bill some of their partners. Please see https://datafree.tech (that’s quite specific to Moya / South Africa carriers, I guess) 关于反向计费:我知道的不多。我本人没有被 Moya 收账,尽管他们确实向一些合作伙伴收账。请参阅 https://datafree.tech(我猜这是针对莫亚/南非运营商的)。
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, as mentioned in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382673), I should do something about the cards design, which is currently too rough. 感谢您的反馈!是的,正如在这个主题 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382673) 中提到的,我应该对卡片的设计做点什么,因为它目前太粗糙了。
I run https://pastmaps.com as a lil' solo bootstrapped labor of love. Think Google Maps, but for OLD maps. It has 185K+ fully georeferenced high-res maps covering all of America, as well as satellite, LiDAR, and 3D layers to enable exploration through space and time. 我运行 https://pastmaps.com,这是一个由我独自启动的爱心劳动项目。就像谷歌地图,不过是旧地图。它拥有 18.5 万多张完全地理参照的高分辨率地图,覆盖全美,还有卫星、激光雷达和三维图层,可以在空间和时间上进行探索。
History is cool yo. And apparently lucrative - it currently makes ~$5000/mo and is slowly but surely growing through word of mouth 历史很酷哟。而且显然有利可图--目前它的月收入约为 5000 美元,并通过口口相传缓慢而稳定地增长着。
At a guess, you probably have a very large base of genealogists on there! 据猜测,你可能在那里有大量的家谱学者!
Old maps are incredibly useful for genealogy because it helps you do lots of stuff. Say someone lived on "House #3 Country Road" in (county), but County Road no longer exists, and all that can be found is a brief description of "County Road is now Main Street, Bank Avenue, and Church Road" It would serve as a vital clue as to where their ancestors house used to be (or may still be!) 老地图对家谱非常有用,因为它可以帮助你做很多事情。假设某人住在(县)的 "乡村路 3 号房屋 "上,但乡村路已不复存在,能找到的只是 "乡村路现在是主街、银行大道和教堂路 "的简短描述,这将成为他们祖先的房子过去在哪里(或现在可能还在!)的重要线索。
It also helps to give a better narrative of how the community has expanded and changed over the years. Instead of just, "It was probably all forest land, then farm land, then suburbs or something?" Instead you can see stuff like if there were spikes/declines in populations in response to various events (gold rush, mining, factory work, railroads, war, highways bringing/diverting traffic, and so on). They can also show how the land may have changed from environmental factors (mud slides, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes). Maybe you're from a "Military family" but never knew why, only to find out that a Military Depot opened up 2 minutes from their house just as great-grandpa turned 18. 这也有助于更好地叙述社区多年来是如何扩展和变化的。而不仅仅是 "以前可能都是林地,后来是农田,再后来是郊区什么的"。取而代之的是,你可以看到各种事件(淘金热、采矿、工厂工作、铁路、战争、高速公路带来/分流交通等)导致的人口激增/减少等情况。他们还可以展示土地如何因环境因素(泥石流、地震、龙卷风和飓风)而发生变化。也许你来自一个 "军人世家",但却从不知道为什么,直到你发现,就在曾祖父 18 岁那年,离他们家 2 分钟路程的地方开辟了一个军工厂。
In a real sense, it describes not just the family and where they lived, but the type of place they knew, and community they grew up in. It hints at how they saw and experienced things over the years. "But why did great-great-grandpa insist on moving his entire family? He had lived in that beautiful house his entire life! Ah. They put the railroad 6 inches from his backdoor!" 从真正意义上说,它描述的不仅仅是他们的家庭和居住地,还有他们所熟悉的地方类型以及他们成长的社区。它暗示了这些年来他们是如何看待和体验事物的。"但曾曾祖父为什么坚持要举家搬迁呢?他一辈子都住在那栋漂亮的房子里!啊。他们把铁路建在了离他后门6英寸的地方!"
No but I love that shop! I actually introduced myself to the owner there and told him about how I also run an online map shop and he got immediately super duper weird. Lol. Cut-throat business I guess? 不,但我喜欢那家店!实际上,我向店主介绍了我自己,并告诉他我也经营一家在线地图店,他立刻变得超级古怪。笑死我了。我猜这是一门残酷的生意吧?
I love this site. I love browsing David Rumsey's map collection and I know that they have a georeferenceing feature, but I haven't used it. 我喜欢这个网站。我喜欢浏览大卫-拉姆齐的地图集,我知道他们有地理参考功能,但我还没用过。
I also love David Rumsey's collection! Check out the rumsey map center at Stanford if you ever find yourself in the area, it's ridiculously cool 我还喜欢大卫-朗姆西的收藏!如果你在斯坦福大学,可以去看看拉姆齐地图中心,那里酷毙了
Pastmaps was really born out of my desire for more advanced features, layers, and tools on rumsey's site and I'm hoping I can eventually deliver on that vision (spoilers: I'm definitely not there yet) Pastmaps 的诞生源于我对 rumsey 网站上更多高级功能、图层和工具的渴望,我希望我最终能实现这一愿景(剧透:我肯定还没做到)。
Nice collection. I'd suggest adding an unsubscribe option to your initial email, particularly if people reflexively login via Google, etc. 不错的收藏。我建议在最初的电子邮件中添加退订选项,尤其是如果人们条件反射地通过谷歌等登录的话。
Vast majority are currently from the USGS, but this is going to wildly shift and diversify soon as I've been working to bring a wider variety of sources. The next wave is coming mainly from public library systems from all across the globe (my background is in search so I literally am running a map crawler) 目前,绝大多数资料都来自美国地质调查局,但由于我一直在努力引入更广泛的资料来源,这种情况很快就会发生巨大转变并变得多样化。下一波主要来自全球各地的公共图书馆系统(我的专业背景是搜索,所以我实际上是在运行一个地图爬虫)。
I stand on the shoulders of these giants that have done amazing work to digitize the paper maps and I mainly am hoping to just aid in the ease of discoverability and exploration of these assets 我站在这些巨人的肩膀上,他们在纸质地图数字化方面做出了令人惊叹的工作,而我主要是希望帮助他们更容易地发现和探索这些资产。
Possible minor bug: I searched for "New York, NY, USA" and it showed 41 maps of only Staten Island. I had to search for "Manhattan, New York, NY, USA" to get the maps I was looking for. 可能存在一个小错误:我搜索 "美国纽约州纽约市",结果显示只有 Staten Island 的 41 幅地图。我不得不搜索 "美国纽约州纽约市曼哈顿区",才能得到我想要的地图。
Thank you! It's actually a bit embarassing but my search uses the central lat,lng returned from Google's places API and then finds all intersecting maps. It's just not the right approach for a broad place based search. I'm in the process of integrating full geometry data globally from https://overturemaps.org/ as I type to fix this across the board and to use the definitive boundary geometry for the under-the-hood map lookups 谢谢!其实这有点令人尴尬,我的搜索使用的是谷歌地点 API 返回的中心纬度,然后找到所有相交的地图。对于基于地点的广泛搜索来说,这种方法并不合适。在我打字的时候,我正在从 https://overturemaps.org/ 整合全球完整的几何数据,以全面解决这个问题,并使用确定的边界几何数据进行底层地图查找。
Thanks for the report and for checking out the site! 感谢您的报告和对网站的访问!
It's currently 60% premium subscriptions to unlock advanced features (LiDAR layers for example) and then 40% for more traditional physical map print sales. I didn't intend to get into the physical ecommerce world with this but customers kept asking over and over again for ways to purchase the maps for display so I finally gave in last year. Figuring out the supply chain, shipping, graphics design process, etc has been a bit of a lift but fun to do. We have 2.2M unique product variants available so that's also been a bit fun to wrangle! 目前,60% 的高级订阅用于解锁高级功能(例如激光雷达层),40% 用于传统的实体地图印刷销售。我本不打算涉足实体电子商务领域,但客户一再要求我提供购买地图用于展示的方式,所以去年我终于妥协了。想办法解决供应链、运输、图形设计流程等问题虽然有点费劲,但做起来却很有趣。我们有 220 万种独特的产品变体可供选择,这也是一个有趣的问题!
I haven't tested, but in addition to map sales there's a subscription option, for more features https://pastmaps.com/plus?src=header 我没有测试过,但除了地图销售外,还有一个订阅选项,可以获得更多功能 https://pastmaps.com/plus?src=header
Soon! I currently only have coverage for the US but I am expanding globally in Q1 2025. Just not enough hours in the day 很快我目前只覆盖美国,但我将在 2025 年第一季度向全球扩展。只是每天的时间不够用
I sell custom jewelry on Etsy and my Shopify website (lulimjewelry.com). I have a background in 3d printing and through that I realized that the sweet spot for 3d printed products is something that is small, high value, and custom. The jewelry industry fits this perfectly, and has already seen a large uptake in 3d printer adoption. 我在 Etsy 和我的 Shopify 网站(lulimjewelry.com)上销售定制珠宝。我有 3d 打印的背景,因此我意识到 3d 打印产品的优势在于小巧、高价值和定制。珠宝行业完全符合这一点,而且 3d 打印机的采用率已经有了很大的提高。
I built a pipeline using fabric.js, flask, and blender that lets me take my customer's customizations (fingerprints, signatures, other engravings) and place them on a ring. I ultimately generate a STL file that I send over to my casting house in LA. They 3d print the STL in wax, and then cast that wax mould with precious metals using the traditional casting process. 我使用 fabric.js、flask 和 blender 构建了一个流水线,可以将客户的定制(指纹、签名和其他雕刻)添加到戒指上。最终,我生成一个 STL 文件,发送给洛杉矶的铸造厂。他们将 STL 用蜡进行 3D 打印,然后用传统的铸造工艺在蜡模上铸造贵金属。
It's a fun side business as I get to tinker with new technologies (recently working on integrating a LLM into the ring design process). I have decent profits (enough to pay my mom and sister to help with customer support and shipping), so the workload I take on myself is relatively small. 这是一项有趣的副业,因为我可以捣鼓一些新技术(最近正在将 LLM 集成到戒指设计流程中)。我的利润还不错(足以支付我妈妈和姐姐的工资,让她们帮忙提供客户支持和运输服务),所以我自己承担的工作量相对较小。
Ornaments? Parents keep asking for my kid's to "create" an ornament. The fun of doing on paper is obviously great, but it'd be neat to convert it into something more durable too. 装饰品?家长们一直要求我的孩子们 "创作 "一个装饰品。在纸上创作的乐趣显然是巨大的,但如果能把它转换成更耐用的东西,那也会很不错。
I've definitely taken kids handwriting/drawings and put them on rings or pendants before. Nothing as large as a standard ornament though. 我以前肯定把孩子们的手迹/画放在戒指或吊坠上过。不过都没有标准装饰品那么大。
Then you should use my https://commercialinvoice.app

I did not like any Kubernetes UI so I built my own https://aptakube.com 我不喜欢任何 Kubernetes UI,所以我创建了自己的 https://aptakube.com
It went from side project to my primary job in less than 6 months. 在不到 6 个月的时间里,它就从副业变成了我的主业。
Everyone was saying that $99 was too much for “an API wrapper”, but here we are, 2 years later and with hundreds of small to enterprise companies using it :) 每个人都说 99 美元对 "应用程序接口封装器 "来说太高了,但 2 年后的今天,数百家小型到企业公司都在使用它:)
You really shouldn't listen to too many people. The only thing that counts is paying customers; everything else is just jealous people. 你真的不应该听信太多人的话。只有付钱的顾客才是最重要的,其他的都是嫉妒的人。
Dismissing disagreement as jealousy always bothered me. To think a person is jealous of you requires a lot of ego, like... narcissistic amounts of ego in my opinion. Either that or a world view so small that it can't conceive of other world views that don't align with yours. 把分歧说成是嫉妒总是让我很困扰。认为一个人嫉妒你需要很大的自负,比如......在我看来是自恋的自负。要么就是世界观太狭隘,无法想象与你不一致的其他世界观。
Some folks just can't imagine buying what some folks are selling. 有些人就是无法想象买到有些人卖的东西。
Sure but... what is there to "disagree" with? customers are paying for it. If you don't want it, don't pay. But why expend energy on "disagreeing"? 当然,但是......有什么好 "不同意 "的呢?如果你不想要,就不要付钱。但为什么要花精力去 "反对 "呢?
For me, a key point is "everybody _was_saying_". An implication is that early on, or before release, people thought the price seemed too high. Possibly some of those people no longer think so. Or possibly the price really is too high _for_them_. 对我来说,关键的一点是 "每个人都在说"。言下之意是,在早期或发布之前,人们认为价格似乎过高。可能有些人不再这么认为了。也有可能价格对他们来说真的太高了。
Could also be that some of those people just don't expect to get enough use (or some other kind of 'enough') out of a service for a given price point. There are loads of people who have no problem paying for YouTube Premium, while others find the price too high. 也有可能是其中一些人并不指望从某一价位的服务中获得足够的使用(或其他某种 "足够")。有很多人支付 YouTube Premium 没有问题,但也有人觉得价格太高。
Some people pay for the highest-end smartphones, getting them as soon as they come out. I think they're crazy. (-: 有些人花钱买最高端的智能手机,一上市就买。我觉得他们疯了:
Any architecture advice on making receiving payments from small-to-medium businesses streamlined? Struggling on how to go from an employee trying the free demo to their company paying that employee’s subscription… like no PO request nonsense, is there a “master” account you bill and they dole out the seats? 在简化中小型企业的收款流程方面,有什么架构建议吗?如何从员工试用免费演示版到他们的公司为该员工支付订购费用......比如不需要申请邮寄地址,是否有一个 "主 "账户,由您收取费用,然后他们再分配座位?
99% of my customers buy straight from the website no questions asked. 我 99% 的客户都是直接从网站上购买的,不会问任何问题。
I only get PO from larger companies, and I only do it if they’re buying a lot of seats, or if it’s a strategy customer 我只接受大公司的 PO,而且只在他们购买大量席位或战略客户时才这样做
I shared with a couple of co-workers/friends and they all liked it, I then built a simple website with screenshots and a download button for free. 我与几位同事/朋友分享了这个网站,他们都很喜欢,然后我就免费建立了一个带有截图和下载按钮的简单网站。
Then I started sharing the progress on LinkedIn/X, my co-workers shared on their network too which also helped. 后来,我开始在 LinkedIn/X 上分享进展情况,我的同事们也在他们的网络上分享,这对我也很有帮助。
After 4 months I put a price on it and sold it with a 50% discount for early adopters. A lot of people bought it, which to me was a signal that I was into something that could become bigger if I invested more time on it. 4 个月后,我定价出售,早期用户可享受 50%的折扣。很多人买了它,这对我来说是一个信号,表明我在做一件事,如果我投入更多时间,这件事可能会变得更大。
Just wanted to say you've built an amazing product. So much so that I got my team hooked on it and am working on getting it out to the rest of the company that needs it. Well done!! 我只想说,你们的产品非常出色。以至于我让我的团队迷上了它,并正在努力将它推广给公司其他需要的人。干得好
Lens isn't all that great so I'm sure it must be better. 镜头不是那么好,所以我相信一定会更好。
Lens shows me repeats of log lines when I'm trying to scroll down in a live log. It has checkboxes but no means to operate on checked boxes. If I have my Secret set to show b64 decoded, and paste in a new secret that is very clearly non b64 encoded, it tries to push it as-is and fails quietly. It shows things as Healthy whose only sub resources are not healthy, but that's par for the course in Kubernetes land. I also have to fully quit it (not just close the window) on my new MacBook whenever I make the mistake of looking at it after a gcloud auth timeout, even when simply running fresh kubectl commands in the background every time would outperform the garbage Electron tab changes. 当我试图向下滚动实时日志时,Lens 会显示重复的日志行。它有复选框,但无法对复选框进行操作。如果我将我的密文设置为显示 b64 解码,并粘贴了一个显然不是 b64 编码的新密文,它就会尝试按原样推送,但却无声无息地失败了。它显示 "健康 "的东西只有子资源是不健康的,但这在 Kubernetes 中也是正常的。在我的新 MacBook 上,每当我在 gcloud authout 超时后错误地查看它时,我都必须完全退出它(而不仅仅是关闭窗口),即使每次只需在后台运行新的 kubectl 命令就能比垃圾的 Electron 标签更改更有效。
Plus, this new thing has resource diffs, which I was surprised Lens didn't have. Frankly I was surprised how little Lens has once I started actually using it and figured there'd be easy money in building the community's new favorite editor. But I'm glad to have seen this post, here's hoping it becomes the new standard. 此外,这款新产品还拥有资源差异,而 Lens 竟然没有。坦率地说,当我开始实际使用 Lens 时,我很惊讶它的功能如此之少,我还以为打造社区最受欢迎的编辑器会很容易赚钱。但我很高兴能看到这篇文章,希望它能成为新的标准。
RankPic (https://www.rankpic.info) is an app to help users crowdsource their best photo. RankPic ( https://www.rankpic.info) 是一款帮助用户众筹最佳照片的应用程序。
I've been building over the past 3 years & just recently monetized and crossed the $500/m mark through a Pro subscription. It's grown into a lovely community of people who help each other pick their best pictures for dating apps, professional photos etc. 在过去的三年里,我一直在创建这个网站,最近刚刚通过专业版订阅实现了盈利,月收入突破了 500 美元大关。它已经发展成为一个可爱的社区,大家互相帮助,为约会应用程序和专业照片等挑选最佳照片。
I've seen some pretty fun novel use cases, such as (multiple!) people using it to pick out glasses, wedding invites & so on 我见过一些非常有趣的新颖用例,比如(多人)使用它来挑选眼镜、婚礼请柬等。
How does an app like this work in the beginning when you have no/few users? Were you ranking images yourself or hire people to it? 在没有用户或用户很少的情况下,这样的应用程序在开始时是如何运行的?你是自己给图片排序还是雇人来做?
I got all my friends to go on it and spent lots of time ranking people myself. 我让我所有的朋友都去参加,自己也花了很多时间给人排名。
I also started things off with "fake" tests so that people had other people to rank at the beginning, otherwise folks would just see a dead app and drop off. 我还用 "假 "测试来开始,这样人们一开始就有其他人来排名,否则人们就会看到一个死应用而放弃。
It was a really big moment 9 months in when someone's test completed entirely without me ranking. It was a lot of work & I'm really glad to be at a point now where I get to watch people rank each other without me. 在 9 个月的时间里,当有人在没有我排名的情况下完成了测试,这真是一个非常重要的时刻。这是一项艰巨的工作,我真的很高兴现在能在没有我的情况下看着大家互相排名。
How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm an experienced web developer but without a design to work off of - and especially accounting for mobile and dynamic sizing - I really struggle with this part of the work so I'm wondering what other people's workflows are for it. 您是如何设计和制作主页的?我发现建立登陆页面并使其看起来像一个专业、漂亮的设计是我最大的障碍之一。我是一个经验丰富的网站开发人员,但如果没有设计,特别是考虑到手机和动态尺寸,我在这部分工作上真的很吃力,所以我想知道其他人的工作流程是怎样的。
I used fiverr to make assets, and then either use fiverr to make a design that I can easily build with one of the website building tools (wix, etc.) or I try to build it myself. 我用 fiverr 制作资产,然后用 fiverr 制作一个我可以用某个建站工具(wix 等)轻松创建的设计,或者尝试自己创建。
The easiest way is to find a landing page you think looks good and use it as inspiration with your own colors, assets, etc. 最简单的方法是找到一个你认为看起来不错的登陆页面,然后用自己的颜色、资产等作为灵感。
In case you're looking for a designer, I can help you with the design especially mobile as I have worked on mobile apps that are live on app store and play store. feel free to check out my work : https://monadile.framer.website/
You can also reach out via email : monadile.design(at)gmail.com 如果您正在寻找一名设计师,我可以帮助您进行设计,尤其是手机设计,因为我设计的手机应用程序已在应用程序商店和Play商店上线。请随时查看我的作品: https://monadile.framer.website/ 您也可以通过电子邮件联系我:monadile.design(at)gmail.com。
Thank you, but I probably will do this myself. For what it's worth - and I'm saying this constructively, not to offend - your website is illegible due to contrast issues. White titles and light grey text against a light blue background. I was sure it must be some kind of error but I turned off all my extensions and loaded it incognito in chrome and nothing changed, so, I don't know what conclusion to draw there. It just doesn't make a very good impression for a designer. 谢谢,不过我可能会自己做。不管怎么说--我这么说是建设性的,而不是想冒犯您--您的网站由于对比度问题而难以辨认。白色的标题和浅灰色的文字衬着浅蓝色的背景。我确信这一定是某种错误,但我关闭了所有的扩展程序,并在 Chrome 浏览器中隐身加载,结果什么也没改变,所以我不知道该得出什么结论。对于一个设计师来说,这不会给人留下很好的印象。
Thanks for asking! I also used photofeeler and found the way it rated me 1-10 fairly harmful to my mental health. RankPic has users rank your photos best to worst, so it's just against yourself. 谢谢您的询问!我也用过 photofeeler,发现它将我评为 1-10 的方式对我的心理健康相当有害。RankPic 会让用户把你的照片从最佳到最差排序,所以这只是针对你自己。
Additionally it allows users to get more mileage out of each test, when you can do 2-6 photos instead of just one at a time. 此外,它还能让用户从每次测试中获得更多收益,因为你可以拍摄 2-6 张照片,而不是一次只拍一张。
Anecdotally I've also heard it is a more fun experience for the rankers. 我还听说,对排名靠前的人来说,这样的体验更有趣。
Without any offense to you, the creator of this app. It's obvious a lot of care went into it and you wanted to create a better product than what is out there. Even considering the mental impact such ranking could have. 恕我直言,您是这款应用程序的创造者。很明显,你花了很多心思,想创造出比现有产品更好的产品。即使考虑到这种排名可能产生的心理影响。
However, I genuinely feel that the need for this app is what's wrong with society. 不过,我真心觉得,这个社会之所以需要这个应用程序,就是出了问题。
I personally would prefer a randomly selected load of strangers to vote on, say, my best corporate headshot to display to the general public rather than my friends who are a small and biased group. 就我个人而言,我更希望由一群随机挑选的陌生人来投票,比如说,投票选出我的最佳公司头像,向公众展示,而不是由我的朋友们来投票,因为我的朋友们是一个有偏见的小团体。
I guess the people that self-select to go on a photo ranking site may not be representative of the general public, though are probably better than the (all male) 10ish engineers and 3 accountants that I socialize with on a regular basis. 我想,自我选择上照片排名网站的人可能不能代表普通大众,不过他们可能比我经常交往的 10 来个工程师和 3 个会计师(都是男性)要好。
No offense taken, I also have many qualms about the role looks and photos play in our society. The destruction & gamification of social interaction by tech is a genuine harm. 无意冒犯,我也对外貌和照片在我们社会中所扮演的角色有很多疑虑。科技对社交的破坏和游戏化是一种真正的伤害。
Unfortunately it's what we're dealing with right now, and people need feedback to be able to play the game. 不幸的是,这就是我们现在面临的问题,人们需要反馈才能玩游戏。
I built https://explorehere.app to help you learn about the history of the world around you by sending a push notification whenever you pass a new historical marker on your travels! 我创建了 https://explorehere.app,每当您在旅途中经过一个新的历史标记时,系统就会发送推送通知,帮助您了解周围世界的历史!
It’s a freemium app with a pro subscription for advanced features; our revenue is just under $1k/month. 这是一款免费应用,高级功能需要付费订阅;我们的收入略低于每月 1 千美元。
We’re working towards ExploreHere being a passive adventure guide. As you go about your travels ExploreHere will nudge you about interesting information wherever you go; history, unique things to see, special food known only in the city you’re in, etc. 我们正在努力使 ExploreHere 成为一个被动的探险指南。在您旅行的过程中,无论您走到哪里,ExploreHere 都会向您提示有趣的信息;历史、独特的景点、只有您所在城市才有的特色美食等。
In the days before global data plans, there was an amazing offline travel companion app called Triposo that was well before its time. One of its best features was to guide you toward nearby places of interest. I remember in ~2012 visiting Paris and being led to a historic but dilapidated building that used to be a notable school, near to where I was staying but not along the walk to the metro station so I never would have seen it otherwise. 在还没有全球数据计划的年代,有一款名为 Triposo 的离线旅行伴侣应用程序非常出色,远远走在了时代的前列。它最好的功能之一就是引导你前往附近的景点。我记得在 ~2012 年访问巴黎时,有人带我参观了一座历史悠久但破旧不堪的建筑,它曾经是一所著名的学校,离我住的地方很近,但不在通往地铁站的路上,否则我永远也不会看到它。
It was really one of the most unforgettable travel tech experiences. I was still free to explore at my whim, but it gave some context to what was around me. It wasn't just the over-trafficked tourist highlights, but the whole city. ExploreHere seems like it could have a similar impact. 这确实是最难忘的旅行技术体验之一。我仍然可以随心所欲地自由探索,但它为我周围的事物提供了一些背景信息。这不仅仅是那些人满为患的旅游景点,而是整个城市。ExploreHere 似乎也能产生类似的效果。↳

I think these kind of 'passive' trip companions are difficult to sell as they inherently fade into the background and support your trip, rather than trying to take all your attention and 'be the trip'... 我认为这种 "被动 "的旅行伴侣很难推销,因为它们天生就会淡出背景,支持你的旅行,而不是试图吸引你所有的注意力,"成为旅行的主角"......↳
But thats the kind of software I like and the kind I think we should try and build more of! Personally, when I'm exploring a new place I just want to 'do me' and have some gentle nudges if I'm near something really cool. 但这正是我喜欢的软件,我认为我们应该尝试开发更多这样的软件!就我个人而言,当我探索一个新地方时,我只想 "做我自己",如果附近有很酷的东西,我就会得到一些温柔的提示。
Just a few weeks ago I was on a trip through back roads of NC and VA and saw a bunch of historical markers and wondered how to do something with them. And now I know. 就在几周前,我在穿越北卡罗来纳州和弗吉尼亚州的小路时,看到了一堆历史标记,当时我就在想如何利用它们做些什么。现在我知道了。
My thinking was to stop and get a gps coordinate and then what? How do I get them all across the states? And that is about how far my thinking got before a SQUIRREL ran through my brain. 我的想法是停下来获取一个 GPS 坐标,然后呢?我怎样才能让它们遍布各州?就在我思考到这里的时候,"叽叽 "的声音从我脑中响起。
Glad to see some of my thoughts aren't to far out there. Now just have to work on DOING instead of THINKING. 很高兴看到我的一些想法还不算太离谱。现在只需努力去做,而不是去想。
I admit I get the cart before the horse. 我承认我本末倒置了。
I'm not looking for life changing money, but it would be nice to actually be able to submit a $500 mrr project here on HN. 我并不想要改变生活的钱,但如果能在 HN 上提交一个 500 美元的项目,那就再好不过了。
Good shoutout - We partner with them to pull in HMDB data into the ExploreHere app We link back to them in the app too, at the bottom we show the 'source' of the info we pulled in. 我们还在应用程序中链接回他们,在底部显示我们获取信息的 "来源"。
My neighbor and I were talking a few months back and he had the same idea. He said he drove by the historical markers all the time it would be cool to know what they all said. Cool idea just sent him this app! 几个月前我和邻居聊天时,他也有同样的想法。他说他经常开车经过历史标志,如果能知道它们都说了些什么,那就太酷了。好主意,我就把这个应用程序发给了他!
I'd love to use this but there appears to be no coverage of my country. Any plans to expand coverage to other regions? 我很想使用它,但它似乎没有覆盖我所在的国家。有计划将覆盖范围扩大到其他地区吗?
We do! I'm in Japan right now, taking photos of as many markers as possible that I'll add into the app when I get back! We're also releasing a 'submission app' in early 2025 that will let you submit markers and get them added into the app so we can expand into more places! 我们会的!我现在正在日本,尽可能多地拍摄标记的照片,回来后我会把它们添加到应用程序中!我们还将在 2025 年初发布一款 "提交应用程序",您可以提交标记并将其添加到应用程序中,这样我们就可以将业务扩展到更多地方!

Factoring all the expenses I made 7K for a batch of 300. I plan to do a 2nd batch next year, which should yield double that since I will only incur raw materials & shipping expenses. 考虑到所有开支,我一批 300 件的产量为 7000 件。我计划明年再做第二批,收益应该会翻一番,因为我只需支付原材料和运输费用。
It took me 48 hour of manual labor to assemble them and ship them. So it's doesn't make much sense TBH, but it's a good experience. Made me appreciate my desk job. 我花了 48 个小时的体力劳动才把它们组装好并运走。因此,这并没有多大意义,但这是一次很好的经历。让我更加珍惜我的文职工作。

I started a side project with my older brother called NanaGram.co that makes it easy to text message photos to a unique phone number, then once a month they get printed and shipped to your loved ones. 我和哥哥一起创办了一个名为 NanaGram.co 的副业,通过它可以轻松地将照片以短信形式发送到一个特定的电话号码上,然后每月打印一次,寄给你所爱的人。
If you have kids, it makes a good holiday gift for the grandparents if you're stumped on what to get them. 如果您有孩子,如果您正为送什么礼物给孩子的祖父母而犯难,这也是一份不错的节日礼物。
I've since moved on from it, but my brother makes enough to work on NanaGram full-time now. It's also just been really cool to see the project grow over the years and bring happiness to thousands of grandparents all over the world. 后来我不再做这个项目了,但我哥哥的收入足以让他全职为 NanaGram 工作。看到这个项目多年来不断发展壮大,为全世界成千上万的祖父母带来快乐,我感到非常高兴。

Very cool! Always wondered how solo engineers deal with physical and shipping? I suppose there is some sort of API that allows prints and shipping on behalf? 非常酷!我一直想知道单人工程师是如何处理实物和运输的?我想是否有某种 API 可以代为打印和发货?
I started with an API called Pwinty which turned out to be pretty expensive so I ended up basically recruiting a print shop partner based in the US. 一开始,我使用了一个名为 Pwinty 的应用程序接口,结果发现它非常昂贵,所以我最终基本上招募了一个位于美国的打印店合作伙伴。
I've actually been looking at releasing a 4"x6" photo printing API of my own since we've developed some pretty neat shipping tricks as well as the ability to print on both sides of the photos. 实际上,我一直在考虑发布我自己的 4 "x6" 照片打印 API,因为我们已经开发出了一些非常实用的运输技巧,以及双面打印照片的功能。
I was actually looking at it from a different business model perspective. There are some APIs that do both print and ship in various formats but there is definitely a markup on top. Aggregating printers that are digital enough is quite a challenge of its own though :) 实际上,我是从不同商业模式的角度来看待这个问题的。有一些应用程序接口既能打印,也能以各种格式发货,但上面肯定要加价。不过,聚集足够数字化的印刷商本身就是一项挑战:)
NanaGram is awesome, used it for a while back in the olden days of 2021. When I visit my grandma she still has pictures on her refrigerator delivered by this service. Cheers to you and your brother! NanaGram 非常棒,我在 2021 年的旧时代用过一段时间。我去看我奶奶的时候,她冰箱上的照片还是由这项服务提供的。为你和你的兄弟干杯!
It’s not really MMR but I have a side business when I provide software for online and in-person festival payments (entry/food/drinks). If you take the total revenue (or profit) for the year and divide by 12 I’m well over the $500/mo limit. 这不是真正意义上的五矿资源,但我有一项副业,即提供在线和现场节庆支付(入场券/食品/饮料)的软件。如果把一年的总收入(或利润)除以 12,我的月收入就远远超过了 500 美元的限额。
I currently do 3 festivals a year which all pretty much fell in my lap, I’ve yet to start any sort of sales/marketing due to being busy with my day job/life and not wanting to grow too fast. 由于日常工作/生活繁忙,不想发展太快,我还没有开始任何形式的销售/营销。
I started back in 2021 when a local company I’ve worked with to make apps came to me looking for a solution for their food/music festival that didn’t require handing out and (almost as importantly) counting all the tickets/tokens that people bought to spend at the vendors. I did a quick turn around of a couple months to get a v1 out and working in time for the event. In the next year I essentially rewrote 90% of it and added in-person payment support (previously had just supported recording in-person payments made through a CC terminal. 我的工作始于 2021 年,当时一家曾与我合作制作应用程序的本地公司找到我,希望为他们的美食/音乐节寻找一种解决方案,而这种解决方案不需要分发和(几乎同样重要的是)计算人们在供应商处购买消费的所有门票/代币。我在短短几个月内就完成了 v1 版本的开发,并及时投入使用。在接下来的一年里,我基本上重写了其中的 90%,并增加了对现场支付的支持(之前只支持通过 CC 终端记录现场支付)。
Each new festival has new needs but I’m starting to get fewer feature requests and less I need to build for each new client which is nice. 每个新的节日都有新的需求,但我收到的功能请求开始减少,我需要为每个新客户构建的功能也减少了,这很好。
In 2015, I wrote the backend for a registration/ticketing/admission system for our (the company I work for) non-profit. They put on yearly galas in a far-off US state. The system utilized QR codes from printed and electronic tickets. The system was used once and royally failed due to connectivity issues. We relied on the venue's wi-fi and had cellular backup. It worked during on-site testing but failed once the crowds formed. Attendee's couldn't load their e-tickets and we couldn't get a response from the servers as tickets were scanned. 2015 年,我为我们(我供职的公司)的非营利组织编写了注册/票务/入场系统的后台。他们在遥远的美国某州举办年度晚会。该系统利用了印刷票和电子票上的二维码。该系统使用过一次,但由于连接问题而彻底失败。我们依靠会场的无线网络和手机备份。在现场测试时,该系统正常工作,但一旦人群聚集,系统就失灵了。与会者无法加载他们的电子门票,我们也无法在扫描门票时从服务器得到响应。
Props to you for getting everything working! 你能让一切正常工作,我为你鼓掌!
Interesting. Are you comfortable sharing any architecture details? Im half wanting to do the same for a local fair that had a high friction ticket system. I wasnt happy with any designs I came up with though 很有意思。你愿意分享任何架构细节吗?我也想为当地的一个展会做同样的设计,这个展会有一个高摩擦的门票系统。不过我对自己的设计并不满意
It's QR-based, so customers create an account, load money onto their account, then show their QR code to vendors who scan it to charge their account. We also provide plastic cards (think: gift card) for people who don't want to use their phone but we see 80%+ of people interact completely on their phone/online. We have an app and website (same codebase, Quasar framework) and for in-person payment (entry, bar) we provide iPads with connected CC readers. 它以二维码为基础,顾客创建一个账户,往账户里充值,然后向供应商出示二维码,供应商扫描二维码后就可以向顾客的账户充值。我们还为不想使用手机的人提供塑料卡(即礼品卡),但我们发现 80% 以上的人完全通过手机/网络进行互动。我们有一个应用程序和网站(相同的代码库,Quasar 框架),对于现场支付(入场、酒吧),我们提供连接了 CC 阅读器的 iPad。
My best advice is this: your hardest challenges will not be technical in nature. The hardest part is the equipment, dealing with customers, hand-holding the festival organizers. I don't say any of that as some gross thing or bad thing, just reality. In fact, I think I've succeeded larged based on the in-person aspect (We travel to the event and are on-site for the event) and being the "I have all the answers for your festival payments"-person. Rolling with the punches is a huge part of it. 我的最佳建议是:最困难的挑战不会是技术性的。最困难的部分是设备、与客户打交道、与音乐节组织者打交道。我说这些并不是什么恶心或不好的事情,只是现实而已。事实上,我认为我的成功很大程度上是基于亲临现场(我们前往活动现场,并在活动现场工作),以及成为一个 "我掌握了音乐节付款的所有答案 "的人。随遇而安是其中重要的一部分。↳
The whole thing runs on AWS Lambda with a postgres DB from Neon.tech. I'll be honest, it's incredibly over-architected, the whole thing could run a a couple (or even 1) servers as a traditional NodeJS app without issue (and with less complexity) but I used this project as learning experience and a chance to try our some technology I was interested in. Lambda is incredibly cool and I think I might have one of the best use-cases for it (incredibly spikey load: no traffic for 9 mo, tiny traffic for presales for 1-2 months, 1 month with higher sales, then 1-2 days of the event with crazy sales) but the debugging story isn't the best. SST makes it 10000x better than anything else I've tried and the developer experience is bar-none for writing lambdas but all the other crap (CloudFormation, logs, monitoring, etc) is so much overhead. If I was writing this again today I'd probably look at something like NestJS but I won't let myself re-write the code (again) without a pressing reason and if I need to spend time anywhere it's sales/marketing. 整个程序运行在 AWS Lambda 上,使用 Neon.tech 提供的 postgres DB。老实说,它的架构过于复杂,整个项目可以像传统的 NodeJS 应用程序一样在几台(甚至一台)服务器上运行,不会有任何问题(复杂度也更低),但我把这个项目当作学习经验和尝试我感兴趣的技术的机会。Lambda 非常酷,而且我认为我可能拥有最适合它的用例之一(令人难以置信的尖峰负载:9 个月没有流量,1-2 个月预售时流量很小,1 个月销售额较高,然后活动期间的 1-2 天销售额疯狂增长),但调试效果并不是最好的。SST 让它比我尝试过的其他任何东西都要好 10000 倍,而且开发人员在编写 lambdas 时的体验也是无与伦比的,但所有其他的垃圾(CloudFormation、日志、监控等)都是巨大的开销。如果我今天再写这篇文章,我可能会考虑像 NestJS 这样的产品,但如果没有紧迫的原因,我不会让自己重新编写代码(再次),如果我需要在任何地方花时间,那就是销售/营销。

> Festival-goers can just pay for their food direct as well? > 节日游客也可以直接付款购买食物吗?↳
In a word? Data. Festivals normally charge vendors a percentage of sales to be at the festival and they need a way to track sales. "Trust me bro" doesn't quite work since restaurants/vendors will lie or shave their sales numbers so they pay out less. One festival told me about a time they had a vendor steal another vendor's tickets they had collected and try to turn them in as their own. I don't think all or even most vendors are dishonest but the ones who are mess it up for everyone. So instead the festival requires all payment to go through their festival currency (1 to 1 with USD). This gives them realtime data of all vendors and they use that data to decide which vendors to invite back and how much to pay out at the end. 一言以蔽之?数据。节日通常会向供应商收取一定比例的销售额,因此他们需要一种跟踪销售额的方法。"兄弟,相信我 "并不完全奏效,因为餐馆/供应商会撒谎或瞒报销售数字,这样他们支付的费用就会减少。一个音乐节告诉我,有一次,一个供应商偷了另一个供应商收集的门票,并试图把它们当作自己的门票上交。我不认为所有甚至大多数商贩都不诚实,但那些不诚实的商贩会给大家带来麻烦。因此,音乐节要求所有付款都使用音乐节货币(与美元一比一)。这就为他们提供了所有供应商的实时数据,他们利用这些数据来决定邀请哪些供应商回来,以及最后要支付多少钱。

Yes, the point is to enforce the contract between the two. For a lot of festivals the food price is low (think $3-5) since it's meant to be a way to sample a lot of things. The $0.30/transaction (that Stripe charges) eats into total percentage quickly at lower price points. Also this lets all vendors take payment without needing any special equipment (other than their smartphone). Yes, some/most of them have their own POS but this lets the festival and festival-goers keep all their transactions in one place. Also the vendors have access to reports as well. 是的,关键在于执行两者之间的合同。很多节日的食品价格都很低(3-5 美元),因为这样可以品尝到很多东西。Stripe 收取的 0.30 美元/笔交易费用很快就会侵蚀低价位的总百分比。此外,这还让所有供应商无需任何特殊设备(智能手机除外)即可接受付款。是的,他们中的一些/大多数都有自己的 POS 机,但这可以让音乐节和音乐节观众在一个地方保存所有交易。此外,供应商还可以查看报告。↳

All our contracts state that we cannot be held liable for internet issues, we operate completely on LTE/5G and do not provide WiFi at the events (that's a huge PITA if you've ever looked into it) and very often there isn't even an ISP we could work with to provide the internet service so if we are going to rely on LTE anyways might as well have each iPad talk directly to the towers instead of through extra infrastructure we need to manage. So far this has no been an issue but we do a cellular survey of the area when we take on a new festival to check how good the signal is. 我们的所有合同都规定,我们不能对网络问题承担责任,我们完全使用 LTE/5G 运营,不在活动现场提供 WiFi(如果你研究过,这是个非常麻烦的问题),而且很多时候我们甚至无法与互联网服务提供商合作提供网络服务,所以如果我们无论如何都要依赖 LTE,不如让每台 iPad 直接与信号塔通话,而不是通过我们需要管理的额外基础设施。到目前为止,这还不是一个问题,但我们在参加新的音乐节时会对该地区进行蜂窝网络调查,以检查信号是否良好。↳
> Does the festival pay the food stands [something] up front? > 艺术节是否会提前向食品摊位支付[一些]费用?↳
No, in fact often the vendors pay a small amount to reserve the space (mostly to make them have some skin in the game and show up, the number of no-shows always surprises me a bit). Vendors in general are very hard to wrangle. You can send them all the info ahead of time multiple times, in multiple forms, etc and at least 20%+ will show up and have no idea what's going on. Thankfully we can train someone on the system in well under 5min and they rarely need follow-up help. 不,事实上,供应商通常会支付少量费用来预订场地(主要是为了让他们在游戏中有点底气并露面,不露面的数量总是让我有点吃惊)。供应商一般都很难搞定。你可以提前多次以多种形式向他们发送所有信息,但至少有 20% 以上的供应商会出现,而且根本不知道发生了什么。幸好我们可以在 5 分钟内对供应商进行系统培训,而且他们很少需要后续帮助。↳
> Sounds easy to abuse (show someone else's code?), have you had much fraud? > 听起来很容易被滥用(显示别人的代码?↳
This was a huge concern of mine up front but in practice it's been non-existent or at least non-reported (and trust me, I've dealt with every other type of support ticket), In fact couples/families will often just load 1 account and share the QR between them. We also offer in-system transfers which isn't used as much as I would have expected but people do it that way as well. 这是我一开始就非常担心的问题,但实际上这种情况并不存在,或者至少没有报告过(相信我,我处理过其他各种类型的支持单)。我们还提供系统内转账服务,虽然使用率并不像我预想的那么高,但人们也会这样做。
> You're in USA? Did you need a banking license? > 您在美国?您需要银行执照吗?↳
Yes, thankfully no license needed. I've worked/founded startups that needed Money Transmitter Licenses and I wouldn't touch those businesses with a 10ft pole (so much insurance and each state is done differently, no thanks). No, the money never touches my accounts, I use Stripe Connect so I help the festival get their own account setup and all the money dumps directly into their Stripe account (and then their bank account). I don't handle payouts to vendors because every festival has a different formula so it's easier to just give them all the money, give them the reports, and let them sort it out. 是的,幸好不需要执照。我曾经工作过/创办过一些需要货币转账许可证的初创公司,但我是打死也不会碰这些业务的(保险费用太高,而且每个州的规定都不一样,不,谢谢)。我使用 Stripe Connect,帮助音乐节建立自己的账户,所有的钱都直接转入他们的 Stripe 账户(然后再转入他们的银行账户)。我不负责给供应商付款,因为每个音乐节的付款方式都不一样,所以把钱都给他们,把报告给他们,让他们自己处理就好了。↳

I can't share exact numbers but 4-8K customers is the range we see as well but our numbers are low because people share accounts. The average spend is about $30-40 depending on the festival. My answer to the previous question probably answered this for you but no, I don't carry the debt or deal with that, the festival does. 我不能透露确切的数字,但 4-8K 客户是我们看到的范围,但我们的数字很低,因为人们共享账户。平均消费额约为 30-40 美元,这取决于不同的节日。我对前一个问题的回答可能已经回答了你的问题,但不,我不承担债务,也不处理这些问题,是购物节在做。

Sometimes. We have special support for bars (to track stock) and you can put anyone on the system if you want. We have done entry ticketing, event ticketing (bourbon tasting for extra at the festival), and one festival ran all their T-shirts/stickers through the system as well. We support multiple ticket types so you can create a ticket type for anything you want. One festival didn't use the "festival currency" at all and instead wanted everyone to get 15 tasting tickets (we support packages/bundles as well) who bought the "Tasting package" and they redeemed those at the vendors. 有时。我们为酒吧提供特殊支持(跟踪库存),如果您愿意,您可以将任何人加入系统。我们已经完成了入场票务、活动票务(音乐节上的额外波旁威士忌品尝会),有一个音乐节还通过该系统管理他们所有的 T 恤/贴纸。我们支持多种票务类型,因此您可以为任何您想要的票务类型创建票务。有一个庆典根本没有使用 "庆典货币",而是希望每个人都能得到 15 张品酒券(我们也支持套餐/捆绑),这些人购买了 "品酒套餐",然后在供应商处兑换。↳

> show their QR code to vendors who scan it to charge their account. > 向供应商展示二维码,供应商扫描二维码后即可向其账户收费。
That sounds _brilliant_ -- being able to show a physical QR code card rather than dig out the phone sounds like it would help a lot with preventing damage/loss of phones. 这听起来很不错 -- 能够出示实体二维码卡而不是掏出手机,听起来对防止手机损坏/丢失很有帮助。
Yep, because everything is QR-based I can provide almost the same experience for people on their phones or those who opt for a card. The card even has a URL on it you can go to to claim the card (convert to a user account in the system) or a page you can go to and see the balance without needing to create an account. 没错,因为一切都是基于 QR 的,所以我可以为手机用户或选择使用卡的用户提供几乎相同的体验。卡上甚至有一个 URL,你可以去领取卡(转换为系统中的用户账户),或者进入一个页面查看余额,而无需创建账户。
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that. 谢谢!谢谢你这么说。

Good for you man, happy to hear about your success and pains.
A sign of maturity is realizing the tech is always the easy part. 好样的,很高兴听到你的成功和痛苦。成熟的标志就是意识到技术永远是最简单的部分。
Did you decide the vendors do the scanning so you could enable customers who aren't using connected smartphones?
On the surface it sends like the digital version of here's my wallet, take what I owe you if I'm just presenting a QR code that links to my event "wallet" to a vendor and they are set the amount to be deducted and confirm the transaction without my input. Is there a customer confirmation step, overcharging just hasn't been an issue, or you've figured something else out to 'prevent' that type of fraud? 您是否决定由供应商进行扫描,以便让不使用联网智能手机的客户也能使用?从表面上看,如果我只是向供应商出示一个链接到我的活动 "钱包 "的二维码,他们就会设定扣除金额并确认交易,而不需要我的输入,这就像是数字版的 "这是我的钱包,把我欠你的拿走"。是有一个客户确认步骤,还是多收钱的问题还没有出现,还是你们想出了其他办法来 "防止 "这类欺诈?
I keyed on this because I've only ever really seen the reverse in the wild, where a vendor presents a bill with a QR code, and then there's either a confirmation or record of some sort that can be easily checked. Though I don't actually make these types of purchases myself, so I'm just going by cursory observations. 我之所以关注这一点,是因为我只在野外真正见过相反的情况,即供应商出示带有二维码的账单,然后会有一个确认或某种记录,可以很容易地进行核对。虽然我自己并不进行这类消费,所以我只是粗略地观察了一下。
You've done a lot of work, and this seems like an excellent way to ensure events run smoothly! Great work in building a useful service for festivals & vendors and reduce the transaction fees to ... well ... as low as they can realistically go given the payment rails :) 你们做了大量工作,这似乎是确保活动顺利进行的绝佳方式!你们做了大量工作,这似乎是确保活动顺利进行的绝佳方式。你们为节日和供应商提供了一项有用的服务,并将交易费用降低到......嗯......在支付轨道的情况下,能降低到多低就多低)

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, a video and/or graphics are on my list for sure, I just keep procrastinating tackling that because it's not something I'm strong in, which is a bad excuse but it's the truth. 谢谢您的美言。是的,视频和/或图表肯定在我的清单上,只是我一直在拖延解决这个问题,因为这不是我的强项,这是一个糟糕的借口,但这是事实。
This is pretty interesting! What hardware are you using for vendors? Kinda curious how you deal with the network aspect of it. Sometimes venues have low cell reception or flaky venue networks. 这很有趣!你为供应商使用的是什么硬件?我有点好奇你们是如何处理网络问题的。有时会场的手机信号很差,或者会场网络不稳定。
Vendors just use their own smartphones and use our app to scan customer’s QR code to charge them. 供应商只需使用自己的智能手机,通过我们的应用程序扫描客户的二维码即可向他们收费。
As for the network we rely completely on the cellular network. We use an extremely small amount of data (a tiny fraction of what an image a user might be posting to FB/IG/SC/etc would be) so unless the networks are completely down we can manage without issue. 至于网络,我们完全依赖蜂窝网络。我们使用的数据量极小(仅为用户在 FB/IG/SC/等网站上发布的图片的一小部分),因此除非网络完全瘫痪,否则我们完全可以应付自如。
We check out venues/grounds/etc for cellular reception/speed ahead of time to make sure we are a good fit for a festival to try and avoid internet connection issues. 我们会提前检查场馆/场地等的手机信号接收/速度,确保我们适合参加音乐节,尽量避免出现网络连接问题。
Scraper of job listings directly from company websites. I found my last day job by using a scraper that visits company websites in search of job listings. Now I've turned it into an app for others to use and access jobs that are posted on company websites (rather than paid employer ads on Indeed or wherever). This gives the job searcher an advantage to find jobs not listed on job search sites and show the company you have taken time/interest to visit their site. 直接从公司网站搜索招聘信息的搜索器。我上一份白天的工作是通过使用搜索器访问公司网站搜索职位列表找到的。现在,我把它变成了一个应用程序,供其他人使用,并访问公司网站上发布的职位(而不是 Indeed 或其他网站上的付费雇主广告)。这就为求职者提供了一个优势,可以找到求职网站上未列出的职位,并向公司展示你花了时间/兴趣访问他们的网站。
* Job listings for "Quality Assurance" and "QA" are split into different listings in Job Search. * 在 "职位搜索 "中,"质量保证 "和 "质量保证 "的职位列表被分为不同的列表。
* I really like the green highlight for Salary range! Personally, I would sort by jobs that list salary first, then by location (or relevance, or whatever). * 我非常喜欢薪金范围的绿色高亮显示!就我个人而言,我会先按列出薪资的职位排序,然后再按地点(或相关性,或其他)排序。
* The filter was a little confusing to use. I see you talked about it with other users in here. It needs some love, but it's getting there. :) * 过滤器使用起来有点混乱。我看到你在这里与其他用户讨论过这个问题。它需要一些爱护,但正在逐步完善。)
* If you are going to target job searchers, it would be very helpful too see metrics based on the results. Here's a few examples I came up with * 如果你要以求职者为目标,那么查看基于结果的指标将非常有帮助。以下是我想到的几个例子↳
Example 1: I select Help Desk -> Chicago 例 1:我选择帮助台 -> 芝加哥
I see a short-term graph showing whether demand has gone: up, down, or stayed the same - included is a red/green/yellow arrow giving me an idea at a glance. This helps me understand how many Help Desk postings are in Chicago 我可以看到一个短期图表,显示需求是上升、下降还是保持不变,其中还包括一个红/绿/黄箭头,让我一目了然。这有助于我了解芝加哥有多少帮助台职位空缺↳
Example 2: I select Cybersecurity -> I also select Information Security -> NYC 例 2:我选择网络安全 -> 我还选择信息安全 -> 纽约市
I see a short-term graph showing demand for Cyber vs IS in NYC. This helps me understand if which job has more postings in NYC. 我看到一张短期图表,显示了纽约市对网络与 IS 的需求。这有助于我了解纽约市对哪种职位的需求量更大。
Example 3: I select Python Developer -> Boston & Dallas. 例 3:我选择 Python 开发人员 -> 波士顿和达拉斯。
I see a medium-term graph showing demand for each location for Python Developer. This helps me decide whether demand is more consistent in Boston or Dallas. 我看到了一张中期图表,显示了各地对 Python 开发人员的需求。这有助于我判断波士顿或达拉斯的需求是否更稳定。↳
Example 4: I select Asia & Canada -> Advertising (Under Industry) 例 4:我选择亚洲和加拿大 -> 广告(行业下)↳
I see a long-term graph showing the overall trend for that industry in each of those countries. This helps me track whether jobs are being outsourced, what I should expect in the coming years, and/or which country is the most competitive in that industry. 我看到一张长期图表,显示了每个国家该行业的总体趋势。这有助于我跟踪工作是否正在外包、未来几年的预期以及/或者哪个国家在该行业中最具竞争力。↳
This is great feedback, I'm very appreciative! 这是很好的反馈,我非常感谢!
Yea there is a much better version of the search bar soon-to-deploy (which accounts for aliases like QA -> Quality Assurance) and it will match by word rather than the entire phrase (currently "software engineer" will not query "software test engineer"). Appreciate the callout here 是的,即将部署的搜索栏版本要好得多(可以处理 QA -> Quality Assurance 这样的别名),它将按单词而不是整个短语进行匹配(目前 "软件工程师 "无法查询 "软件测试工程师")。感谢您的呼唤↳
You can find a toggle switch for "has salary" under the "other" filters which will show only those w salary, but good call perhaps that should be part of a sort feature (beyond just date) 您可以在 "其他 "筛选器下找到 "有工资 "的切换开关,它将只显示有工资的筛选器。↳
The filters do need more love for sure. I like your examples for various metrics displayed in the UI. I did think it would be cool to have a Github-like array of squares that represent units of time with colors that show how it has been changing over time, would have to figure out how heavy of calculations those would be in real-time but I really like your idea here. Or a line chart might be better. 过滤器确实需要更多的关爱。我喜欢你在用户界面中显示各种指标的例子。我觉得如果能有一个类似 Github 的方形数组,代表时间单位,用颜色来显示时间的变化,会很酷。或者用折线图可能更好。↳
How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm an experienced web developer but without a design to work off of - and especially accounting for mobile and dynamic sizing - I really struggle with this part of the work so I'm wondering what other people's workflows are for it. 您是如何设计和制作主页的?我发现建立登陆页面并使其看起来像一个专业、漂亮的设计是我最大的障碍之一。我是一个经验丰富的网站开发人员,但如果没有设计,特别是考虑到手机和动态尺寸,我在这部分工作上真的很吃力,所以我想知道其他人的工作流程是怎样的。
Yea I feel ya, I’m definitely not a good designer based on how long this stuff takes me. I think we are all not that bad but once you spend 6 hours on a component you really feel your dev skills could be much better used. Anyway here are some of the things I used on the landing page: 是啊,我也有同感,从我花费的时间来看,我绝对不是一个好的设计师。我觉得我们都不差,但一旦你在一个组件上花上 6 个小时,你就会觉得你的开发技能可以得到更好的发挥。下面是我在着陆页上用到的一些东西:
Not OP but I have two solutions for this: 1) find an existing site and mimic their design, or 2) hire a designer 虽然不是 OP,但我有两个解决方案:1) 找一个现有的网站,模仿他们的设计,或者 2) 聘请一名设计师
Yes, I know, that's very easy to say, but in my experience: 是的,我知道,说起来很容易,但根据我的经验:
1.) Imitating a good design can take a lot of developer hours. Many landing pages have fancy css effects and support many screen sizes and it can take quite some time to build. 1.)模仿一个好的设计需要花费开发人员大量的时间。许多登陆页面都有花哨的 css 效果,并支持多种屏幕尺寸,这可能需要相当长的时间来构建。
2.) Finding a good designer is not easy. I have tried hiring on most freelancer sites with very poor results. The applicant pool is typically of low quality. 2.)找到一个好的设计师并不容易。我曾尝试过在大多数自由职业者网站上招聘,但效果很差。应聘者的素质通常很低。↳
So I am wondering if others have found efficient/effective ways of going about #1 or #2, either by using certain tools or templates or by having a more clever hiring method. 因此,我想知道其他人是否通过使用某些工具或模板,或者通过更巧妙的招聘方法,找到了高效/有效的 #1 或 #2 方法。↳
Certainly creating a robust design that supports multiple screen sizes is no trivial matter. There are tools to make it easier but as with anything else, no single solution fits all developers and all projects. You say you're an experienced web developer and yet you find yourself deficient in this particular skill, so I'm not sure what to think. Maybe your strength lies more in back end programming? 当然,创建一个支持多种屏幕尺寸的强大设计并非易事。有一些工具可以让它变得更容易,但就像其他任何事情一样,没有一种解决方案适合所有的开发人员和所有的项目。你说你是一个经验丰富的网络开发人员,但你却发现自己在这一特殊技能上有所欠缺,所以我不知道该怎么想。也许你更擅长后端编程?
In any case, I suggest looking into frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind. Of course, there are also high-level solutions that don't require as much coding, e.g. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc. WordPress plugins can make it very easy to apply fancy CSS effects without writing any CSS. 在任何情况下,我都建议使用 Bootstrap 或 Tailwind 等框架。当然,也有一些高级解决方案,如 WordPress、Wix、Squarespace 等,不需要太多编码。WordPress 插件可以让您无需编写任何 CSS 就能轻松应用花哨的 CSS 效果。↳
As for finding freelancers, I agree that's also a difficult task. I don't have any magic bullet there, other than to prioritize people with good, timely communication skills, and to avoid people on the low end of the price range since they will usually be less experienced. 至于寻找自由职业者,我同意这也是一项艰巨的任务。我也没有什么灵丹妙药,只能优先考虑具有良好、及时沟通能力的人,避免选择价格低廉的人,因为他们通常经验较少。
I've been on both sides - working with developers for the past 5 years and leading design teams, so I get the frustration.
The key is finding someone who understands both design AND development constraints. Feel free to check out some of my work here: https://monadile.framer.website/ .Feel free to reach out via email: monadile.design(at)gmail.com or book a call via my website. 在过去的 5 年里,我一直与开发人员一起工作,并领导着设计团队,因此我理解他们的苦恼。关键是要找到一个既懂设计又懂开发限制的人。欢迎在这里查看我的一些作品: https://monadile.framer.website/ 。欢迎通过电子邮件联系我:monadile.design(at)gmail.com 或通过我的网站预约电话。
You could also do something in between - buy ready made templates and customize them. It is easier than mimic-ing and cheaper than hiring a designer. Something like https://tailwindui.com/ 你也可以做一些介于两者之间的事情--购买现成的模板并对其进行定制。这比模仿容易,也比聘请设计师便宜。如 https://tailwindui.com/
I would love a map of job postings to see where it might make sense to move to in the future. If there's 10 jobs within 50 miles... that might be a good place to buy a house. 我希望能有一张工作岗位分布图,看看将来搬到哪里比较合适。如果 50 英里内有 10 份工作......那可能是个买房的好地方。
Additionally, if I filter by 'north america' I still get jobs from canada and india because they're remote only. I would LOVE to be able to filter out those positions. Also I would love to be able to AND 'remote' and 'north america'. I would like to work remotely, but only for US companies 此外,如果我以 "北美 "为筛选条件,我仍然会得到来自加拿大和印度的职位,因为这些职位只能远程招聘。我非常希望能够过滤掉这些职位。此外,我还希望能同时选择 "远程 "和 "北美"。我想远程工作,但只能为美国公司工作
Thank you :) I appreciate the request + feedback. I have a story in the backlog to add location-specific links to the landing page but I really like your idea of having a map (heatmap or something) to show densities of jobs. 谢谢 :)感谢您的请求和反馈。我的积压工作中有一个故事,是在登陆页面上添加特定地点的链接,但我非常喜欢你的想法,即用地图(热图或其他)来显示工作岗位的密度。
So the inclusive vs exclusive filtering is something that I struggle to perfect here. I'm tempted to throw both in the UI (since its ready to go on the backend) but its hard to explain to users. One thing you can do that is not so obvious is add a tag for "Canada" but click on the tag again which will put a line through Canada and exclude that location from your filter (still need to have helpers to show users how to do that). The 'remote' tag is probably the toughest one to parse of a job listing because it might appear anywhere within the text, so there is some inaccuracies for sure but its improving I hope! 因此,包容性过滤和排他性过滤是我要努力完善的地方。我很想在用户界面中同时使用这两种过滤方式(因为后台已经准备就绪),但很难向用户解释清楚。有一点不是很明显,那就是为 "加拿大 "添加一个标签,但再次点击该标签,就会在加拿大上划一条线,从而将该地点排除在过滤范围之外(仍需要有助手向用户演示如何做到这一点)。远程 "标签可能是职位列表中最难解析的标签,因为它可能出现在文本中的任何地方,所以肯定会有一些不准确的地方,但我希望它在不断改进!↳
Ah I could probably add filters for company locations specifically too (so you can filter US companies), that's an interesting use case too. 我也许还可以添加公司所在地的特定筛选器(这样就可以筛选美国公司),这也是一个有趣的用例。
Thanks for the compliment too, it has been really fun to build 也谢谢你的夸奖,建造它真的很有趣↳
I’ve had a similar idea over the years. You should consider exploring whether competitive companies could be customers. 多年来,我也有过类似的想法。你们应该考虑探讨竞争公司是否可以成为客户。
As a competitor, getting alerts about roles another company is hiring for can be very interesting. Combine it with trends of postings over time… 作为竞争对手,获得其他公司正在招聘的职位提醒可能会非常有趣。结合一段时间内的职位发布趋势...↳
Oh that's a really interesting idea. Yea I dislike the idea of charging the job seeker but have not found a good way to monetize companies (not that they even know about me anyway) 哦,这真是个有趣的想法。是的,我不喜欢向求职者收费的想法,但还没有找到一种好的方法来让公司盈利(反正他们也不知道我)。
What are you using to for the scraping? Playwright…selenium? I wanted to do something as a hobby but my IP kept getting reported lol. Also when you say companies…where are you getting the information from? Data brokers? Anyway, it is an interesting topic to me. 你在用什么进行扫描?Playwright...selenium?我想做一些业余爱好,但我的 IP 总是被举报,笑死我了。还有,你说的公司......你从哪里获取信息?数据经纪人?总之,这对我来说是个有趣的话题。
Selenium, although I'm using a wrapper library that uses it. I only query each company every few days or so which probably helps to not get banned IP-wise but also rotate them. But many of the company job links are through external sources too (lever, greenhouse, etc.) which don't seem to mind Selenium,不过我使用的是一个使用它的封装库。我每隔几天左右才对每家公司进行一次查询,这可能有助于避免被禁止 IP,同时也可以轮换使用。不过,许多公司的职位链接也是通过外部来源(杠杆、温室等)获得的,它们似乎并不介意。
The company data was gathered online for a long time until I found https://www.thecompaniesapi.com/ (which now is the source for much of that data) 公司数据在网上收集了很长时间,直到我找到 https://www.thecompaniesapi.com/(现在它是大部分数据的来源)。
I tried to use my own desktop machine to process some of these tasks. I can see my fans go jet mode when the scraping was being done lol. Do you have discord or any way to connect? Would love to chat around this topic. Feel free to drop any social media handles. I’ll ping you. 我试着用自己的台式机来处理其中的一些任务。我可以看到我的风扇在进行刮擦时进入了喷气模式,笑死我了。你有 discord 或其他连接方式吗?我很乐意就这个话题和你聊聊。如果您有任何社交媒体账号,请随时告诉我。我会联系你的。
Ohhh yea I run into this memory issue very quickly when scraping (especially if you have a large URL dataset then it will inevitably find a website with a giant bit of markup). So I have to set timeouts and blacklist timely requests but also completely reset the (headless) browser on 2-3 requests (which is overkill but I am restricted on memory for those workers). Feel free to drop me an email sometime (should be on my HN profile) 是的,我在刮擦时很快就遇到了内存问题(尤其是当你有一个大型 URL 数据集时,它不可避免地会找到一个有大量标记的网站)。因此,我必须设置超时并将及时请求列入黑名单,但也要在 2-3 次请求时完全重置(无头)浏览器(这有点矫枉过正,但我的工作程序内存有限)。欢迎随时给我发电子邮件(应该在我的个人主页上)
The data is destroyed and no content from the web pages are reused or repurposed (each listing is merely a link + various tags that are created/associated upon viewing. My understanding is that public websites scraping is legal but repurposing their content might not be 数据会被销毁,网页上的任何内容都不会被重复使用或重新利用(每个列表只是一个链接+浏览时创建/关联的各种标签)。我的理解是,公共网站搜索是合法的,但重新利用其内容可能不合法。
Great site. Small feedback: There's a category 'Closure'-- I'm not sure if that's something I don't know about, but it definitely isn't for jobs using 'Clojure'. 伟大的网站。小小的反馈:有一个 "Closure "类别--我不确定这是不是我不知道的东西,但它肯定不是为使用 "Clojure "的工作而设的。
Cool site - very clean lightweight interface which is great. Have a few friends that are looking that would for sure have checked it out had there been a free trial. 很酷的网站 - 非常简洁的轻量级界面,非常棒。我有几个朋友正在寻找,如果有免费试用版,他们肯定会去看看。
Thank you. Currently working on promo code functionality to give away to all the postings in Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42297422 谢谢。目前正在开发促销代码功能,以赠送给在 "Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?"(2024 年 12 月)https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42297422 中发布的所有帖子。
The search bar is for job title only at the moment. Under the "Tech" filter you can find "C++" and add it as a filter 搜索栏目前只能搜索职位名称。在 "技术 "过滤器下,您可以找到 "C++"并将其添加为过滤器
Yea that one is still a WIP (along with "R", "Rust", maybe a few more) because parsing out some of these tags is a little more difficult than others. 是的,这个标签仍是一个 WIP(还有 "R"、"Rust",也许还有其他一些),因为解析其中一些标签比其他标签要困难一些。
This is really cool. Do you have any interest in helping people auto apply to them? We can help you set it up with a really simple API call via Skyvern (https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern) 这真的很酷。您有兴趣帮助人们向他们自动申请吗?我们可以通过 Skyvern ( https://github.com/Skyvern-AI/skyvern) 进行非常简单的 API 调用来帮助您设置。
Thank you, appreciate this. I'm not certain about expanding this in that direction but that is certainly an interesting thought. 谢谢,非常感谢。我不确定是否要向这个方向扩展,但这确实是一个有趣的想法。
I’m building Sink It for Reddit (https://gosinkit.com), a Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension to make Reddit usable on the web. It’s similar to RES (Reddit enhancement suite) but supports all of Reddit’s designs and is being actively developed with around 300k users, mainly on the Apple platforms. 我正在开发 Sink It for Reddit ( https://gosinkit.com),这是一个 Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge 扩展程序,可让 Reddit 在网络上使用。它与 RES(Reddit 增强套件)类似,但支持 Reddit 的所有设计,目前正在积极开发中,有大约 30 万用户,主要是在苹果平台上。
It was built during the Reddit API shenanigans last year and is making four figures a month. 99% of the app’s feature are free with the money coming from a premium (dark mode etc) for old Reddit and donations. 该应用是在去年 Reddit API 风波期间建立的,目前月收入已达四位数。该应用 99% 的功能都是免费的,资金来自旧版 Reddit 的溢价(黑暗模式等)和捐款。
Have a few high five figure/low six figure acquisition offers already but I’m afraid it’ll be turned into malware so haven’t gone through with it. 已经有几个高五位数/低六位数的收购要约,但我担心会变成恶意软件,所以还没去做。
I suspect you can increase your conversion rate to paid quite easily. I've been using the free version for sometime. And I have no idea if the paid version gives me the improvements that I care about. I'm sure a 7 day trial, or an explainer video that walks through the differences would go a long way. 我认为您可以很容易地提高付费转换率。我一直在使用免费版。我不知道付费版是否能带来我所关心的改进。我相信,7 天试用期,或者一段讲解视频来说明其中的不同之处,会有很大帮助。
For what it's worth, there's a lot of functionality that I want removed from reddit. I've never crossposted, yet often click that link because it's next to 'hide'. I hate the hide link and would rather have 'hide everything above'. On old.reddit.com many of the links are too small, so increasing their size would be nice. Just a few things off the top of my head. 不管怎么说,我希望从 reddit 上删除很多功能。我从未跨贴过,但却经常点击那个链接,因为它就在 "隐藏 "的旁边。我讨厌隐藏链接,我宁愿选择 "隐藏上面的所有内容"。old.reddit.com上的许多链接都太小了,如果能增大它们的尺寸就更好了。这只是我的一些想法。↳
Good feedback, thank you. I’ll look into how to surface the premium features (a lot) better. 反馈很好,谢谢。我会研究如何更好地展示高级功能(很多)。
Re: feature additions, almost all of them are in the backlog and in various stages of development. Should ship soon! 关于新增功能,几乎所有功能都在积压中,处于不同的开发阶段。应该很快就会发布!
How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles.

It's a premade design that I edited quite a bit. The landing page is important but at the start of a project, spending a ton of time on it isn't worth it. I used to work at an Australian (unofficial) unicorn where we sold these designs so I just bought one directly. 这是一个预制设计,我对它进行了大量编辑。着陆页很重要,但在项目初期,花大量时间在上面并不值得。我曾在一家澳大利亚(非官方)独角兽公司工作过,那里出售这些设计,所以我就直接买了一个。
Any chance there's an android app planned? 有没有可能推出安卓应用程序?
Also, wondering if an edge extension is in the works too. Most chrome extensions work directly on edge but some don't. 另外,我想知道是否也在开发边缘扩展。大多数 Chrome 浏览器扩展都能直接在边缘上运行,但有些不能。
Chrome on Android, unfortunately, doesn’t support extensions. I have a Firefox version for Android and I reckon Brave should pick up and install the desktop version for Chrome too. 不幸的是,安卓系统上的 Chrome 浏览器不支持扩展。我有一个火狐浏览器的安卓版本,我认为 Brave 也应该选择并安装 Chrome 浏览器的桌面版本。
I do have a version for Edge too though it’s often a few versions behind as the Edge team takes too darn long to approve. If anyone on the Edge team is reading this, please DM. https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/sink-it-fo... 我也有一个 Edge 版本,但由于 Edge 团队审批时间太长,所以经常要晚几个版本。如果 Edge 团队中有人看到这篇文章,请发送 DM。https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/sink-it-fo...
Pretty much. The Chrome versions are only a few months old while the Apple platform ones are much older. Plus, honestly, I don’t nag users to leave ratings/reviews within the app. 差不多吧。Chrome 浏览器的版本只有几个月的历史,而苹果平台的版本要早得多。另外,老实说,我并没有唠叨用户在应用程序中留下评分/评论。
Dark mode on old reddit is gated behind premium at this moment. That's the only monetization I have. 目前,旧版 reddit 上的暗黑模式只支持高级模式。这是我唯一的盈利模式。
I'm probably not explaining what's behind premium correctly though. Happy to send over a free AppStore code and chat about the onboarding experience if you're so inclined. :) 不过,我可能没有解释清楚溢价背后的原因。如果您愿意,我很乐意发送一个免费的 AppStore 代码,并与您聊聊入职体验。)↳
Right now my work is Apple platforms only (revenue through App Store), but I'm actively looking into ways to expand to other platforms. 目前,我的工作只限于苹果平台(通过 App Store 获得收入),但我正在积极寻找向其他平台扩展的途径。
As a long time photographer, my philosophy is to make tools that are useful to me first and foremost, and to build smaller scope things that compose well (UNIX philosophy). I've got some exciting new things planned for 2025. 作为一名资深摄影师,我的理念是首先制作对我有用的工具,然后再制作范围较小但能很好合成的东西(UNIX 理念)。我计划在 2025 年推出一些令人兴奋的新产品。
These are all side projects right now, as my official full time occupation is Japanese language school student (I moved to Japan at the end of 2023 year after almost 15 years in SF Bay Area tech companies/startups, becoming a full time student at 34 surrounded by 21 year olds from a very different background has been an interesting experience on its own). 现在这些都是副业,因为我的正式全职职业是日语学校学生(在旧金山湾区科技公司/创业公司工作了近 15 年后,我于 2023 年底搬到了日本,34 岁时成为一名全职学生,周围都是来自截然不同背景的 21 岁年轻人,这本身就是一种有趣的经历)。↳
Since the revenue has been increasing the last few months, I incorporated to keep things organized, but for now these projects are still "side projects". It'd be cool if I could justify financially to do this full time after I finish language school in 2026. 由于最近几个月的收入不断增加,我把所有事情都安排得井井有条,但目前这些项目仍然是 "副业"。如果我在 2026 年完成语言学校的学业后,能在经济上证明我可以全职做这件事,那就太酷了。↳
Always a pleasure discovering a portfolio of apps from an indie developer that genuinely do one thing well, are well designed, and all have the coveted “Data Not Collected” app privacy card to boot. 发现来自独立开发者的应用程序组合总是令人愉悦的,这些应用程序真正做了一件好事,设计精良,而且都有令人羡慕的 "未收集数据 "应用程序隐私卡。
Trichromy reminds me of Prokudin-Gorsky's color photographs from the 19th century. Except of course he tried to get rid of the effect. Clever! 三色照片让我想起了 19 世纪普罗库丁-戈尔斯基的彩色照片。当然,他试图摆脱这种效果。真聪明
Yes, it’s directly based on the trichromatic photographic process, which I learned about reading an article about Gorsky. 是的,它直接基于三基色摄影过程,我是在阅读一篇关于戈尔斯基的文章时了解到这一点的。
And yeah, it’s super interesting how when a new recording technology is created, we seek to avoid its limitations; but later on, those limitations get embraced on their own merits for aesthetic value! 是的,当一种新的录音技术诞生时,我们试图避免它的局限性;但后来,这些局限性因其自身的美学价值而被接受,这真是超级有趣!

It's not enough $$$ to be a full time role, especially considering the costs of purchasing health insurance w/o a traditional W2 employer, but it's perfectly possible to buy in for the the table max (500) and leave with between between three hundred and a thousand dollars in profit in ~8 hours of play. 虽然这笔钱不足以让你全职工作,特别是考虑到在没有传统 W2 雇主的情况下购买医疗保险的费用,但你完全有可能以赌桌最高价(500 美元)买入,并在大约 8 个小时的游戏中获利三百到一千美元。↳
(Real life, not online. "Caro's Book of Poker Tells"[1] will aid you more than fancy math, though knowing the basics of what is a good hand, what a check raise is, that sort of thing will help -- the biggest thing to remember is to play less hands, and be aggressive when you do. Fold or raise -- no calls!) (在现实生活中,而不是在网上。"Caro's Book of Poker Tells"[1]比花哨的数学题更能帮到你,不过了解什么是好牌、什么是check raise之类的基础知识也会有所帮助--最重要的一点是少打牌,打牌时要积极。弃牌或加注 -- 不要跟注!)↳

It's hard, because the bad players tend to play what is termed "loose aggressive" -- so you have to play less hands, and often they get lucky with crap like catching a flush draw or three of a kind, and they only play 1/2 or 1/3. 这很难,因为糟糕的玩家往往玩所谓的 "松散进取型"--所以你必须少玩几手牌,而且他们往往运气很好,比如抓到同花或三条,他们只玩 1/2 或 1/3。↳

How is it not enough $$$ for a full-time role if you make 1300/2 = 650 per 8 hour session? Is it because of CA? 如果每 8 小时的课程能挣 1300/2 = 650 美元,怎么会不够全职工作的费用呢?是因为 CA 吗?
OP may be highly skilled and disciplined, but the implication here is probably a bit exaggerated. OP 可能技术高超、纪律严明,但这里的暗示可能有点夸张。
Assuming he is talking about buying in a full $500 at a $3/5 table, that's 16 big blinds an hour (16bb/hr x 5usd/bb * 8hr = $640), which is a god-tier rate in the long run. 假设他说的是在 3/5 美元的牌桌上买满 500 美元,那就是每小时 16 个大盲注(16bb/小时 x 5usd/bb * 8 小时 = 640 美元),从长远来看,这是一个非常高的比率。
For mere mortals with less skill and patience, it's also possible to lose the same amount the next 8hr session, resulting in a net zero for two days of work. Or, to sit break even for 8hrs with crappy unplayable hands, because you do need to play less hands to win as he mentioned. 对于技术和耐心较差的凡人来说,也有可能在下一个 8 小时会话中输掉同样的金额,从而导致两天工作的净收入为零。或者,在 8 个小时的时间里,用蹩脚的、无法玩的牌来保持收支平衡,因为正如他所提到的,你确实需要玩更少的牌才能赢钱。
Also, you get fatigued after ~5 hours, it's hard to play well for long stretches and if you make a bad all in it takes a while to make up for it. 此外,5 个小时左右就会感到疲劳,很难长时间打出好成绩,如果全场发挥失常,还需要一段时间才能弥补。
My guess: events are not frequent, at least not in the above commenters neck of the woods. Travelling costs money, so they stick locally. 我的猜测是:活动并不频繁,至少在上述评论者的家乡不是这样。旅行要花钱,所以他们坚持在当地参加。
Variance can suck out any profit from cash games and can get you deeply stuck for months on end (see: any full time poker youtuber). Tournaments are even higher variance. 方差会吸走现金游戏中的任何利润,并会让你连续数月深陷其中(见:任何全职扑克 Youtuber)。锦标赛的方差更大。
And if you switch to doing this full time, you become self-employed, which drastically increases the cost of taxes, healthcare, social security, etc. Medicare tax doubles. Social Security tax doubles. You must buy your own healthcare, which drastically increases in premiums (unless you have a spouse who can add you as a dependent on their W-2 sponsored plan). 如果转为全职工作,你就成了自雇人士,这就大大增加了税收、医疗保健、社会保障等方面的成本。医疗保险税翻倍。社会保障税翻倍。您必须自己购买医疗保健,这将大幅增加保费(除非您有配偶可以将您作为家属加入他们的 W-2 赞助计划)。↳
This really goes for any self-prop business/freelancing. In exchange for freedom of being your own boss, you pay in stress, variance, and taxes. 这其实适用于任何自营业务/自由职业。为了换取自己当老板的自由,你要付出压力、差异和税收。
To make this work, you'd probably have to make double that per 8 hour session. Which is insanely difficult to do as a poker pro and sustain as a "full time job". 要做到这一点,您可能必须在每 8 小时的会话中赚到双倍的钱。作为一名扑克职业玩家,要把它当作一份 "全职工作 "来维持,难度可想而知。
I built custom electric cars, and now I am sharing my knowledge for free in a knowledge base and in a YouTube series: 我制造了定制电动汽车,现在我通过知识库和 YouTube 系列免费分享我的知识:
My knowledge is EV and renewable energy knowledge from first principles and for an open source tool. 我的知识是电动汽车和可再生能源知识的第一原理和开源工具。
https://openinverter.org lets you re-purpose the drivetrain from any EV, like Toyota Prius or Tesla Model S and put it into another car. https://openinverter.org 可让您重新利用丰田普锐斯或特斯拉 Model S 等任何电动汽车的动力传动系统,将其装入另一辆汽车。
For this I offer paid support at $200/call and have about 2 of them per month. 为此,我提供付费支持,每次 200 美元,每月约 2 次。
I am trying to turn this trickle of revenue into a more predictable stream, suggestions welcome. The videos are meant to give free help and at the same time serve as lead-gen. 我正试图将这些涓涓细流转化为更可预测的收入,欢迎大家提出建议。视频的目的是提供免费帮助,同时起到引导作用。
I think you need more how-to video content vs theoretical explanation. How to source motors, how to source batteries, what batteries are best, what is a converter, etc. I think if you ramp up the video production, maybe find a local shop or other local youtube content creators working on cars to collaborate on a project car. Essentially you need to prove to the audience that you can help them on an EV conversion project. 我认为你们需要更多的操作视频内容,而不是理论解释。如何采购电机、如何采购电池、什么电池最好、什么是转换器等等。我认为,如果你加强视频制作,也许可以找一家本地商店或其他从事汽车制作的本地 youtube 内容创作者合作制作一辆项目车。从根本上说,你需要向观众证明,你可以在电动汽车改装项目上帮助他们。
To make it scale, do what other content creators do and create a private, paid content area with more detailed videos or create a paid course people can go through that steps them through a conversion process. 要想扩大规模,就像其他内容创作者那样,创建一个私人付费内容区,提供更详细的视频,或者创建一个付费课程,让人们通过该课程了解转换过程。
Are these custom cars and cars with re-purposed drivetrain ok to drive on the road from an NTSB perspective? 从美国国家运输安全委员会的角度来看,这些定制汽车和动力传动系统经过改装的汽车可以上路行驶吗?
Safety and legality of this kind of work comes down to the owner and the jurisdiction. This guy is providing support for getting the drivetrain running, not auditing the safety of the vehicle. 这类工作的安全性和合法性取决于车主和管辖区。这家伙是在为传动系统的运行提供支持,而不是审核车辆的安全性。
Besides, people probably aren't buying brand new 2025 cars and converting them to EVs, they're generally older cars which already don't meet modern safety standards, so it's a bit of a moot point. 此外,人们可能不会购买全新的 2025 辆汽车并将其改装成电动汽车,这些汽车一般都是已经不符合安全标准的旧车,所以这有点不切实际。↳
I made SmoothTrack, a no-equipment head tracking app for iOS and Android which lets you control the game camera in sim games (like MSFS 2024 for example) with your head - basically like TrackIR, just without any equipment and for $15 instead of $150. I originally made the app just for myself to save myself the money of buying a TrackIR system, but then /r/flightsim begged me to release it as a full app. 我制作了 SmoothTrack,这是一款 iOS 和安卓版的无设备头部追踪应用程序,它能让你在模拟游戏(例如《MSFS 2024》)中用头部控制游戏摄像头--基本上就像 TrackIR 一样,只是不需要任何设备,而且只需 15 美元,而不是 150 美元。我最初只是为自己制作了这款应用程序,以节省购买 TrackIR 系统的费用,但后来 /r/flightsim 求我将其作为一款完整的应用程序发布。
Last month, I released SmoothTrack 2.0 which includes basic eye tracking and camera control gestures. 上个月,我发布了 SmoothTrack 2.0,其中包括基本的眼球跟踪和摄像头控制手势。
I remember building my own track ir with ir leds and a floppy in front of an old webcam. This was more than a decade ago, but I would have assumed there is no more demand for this since VR headsets are a thing(I completely left gaming and everything about it since then).
Anyway, great work! 我还记得自己用红外灯和软盘在老式摄像头前制作轨道光圈。这已经是十多年前的事了,但我想,自从有了 VR 头显(从那时起,我就彻底离开了游戏和与之相关的一切)之后,就再也没有这方面的需求了。总之,你做得很好!
Do you know about vtubers? In case you don't, they are people that record or livestream themselves playing games and whatnot. Instead of using a regular face camera to put themselves onto the video feed, they use a 2D or 3D animated model. 你知道 vtubers 吗?如果你不知道,他们就是录制或直播自己玩游戏或其他什么的人。他们使用二维或三维动画模型,而不是使用普通的面部摄像头将自己放到视频画面上。
Most people use a desktop webcam which can do decent tracking or an iPhone which does really good tracking through ARkit, but there isn't really a decent solution on Android. 大多数人使用的台式机网络摄像头都可以进行很好的跟踪,或者 iPhone 可以通过 ARkit 进行很好的跟踪,但在安卓系统上还没有真正像样的解决方案。
It could be a good new market opportunity for you on desktop, iPhone, or Android - but especially for Android users since there isn't really any alternatives. There is a steady stream of new people getting into being a vtuber and I think a $15 app might be an easy sell considering people can end up spending up to a five-digit amount getting custom character models commissioned. If you are able to improve the eye/face tracking past the basic level you mentioned the 2.0 version having, it would be even more appealing. 这可能是你在台式机、iPhone 或 Android 上的一个很好的新市场机会,但尤其是对于 Android 用户来说,因为没有真正的替代品。现在有源源不断的新用户加入到 vtuber 的行列中来,考虑到人们最终可能会花费高达五位数的金额来定制角色模型,我认为 15 美元的应用程序可能会很好卖。如果你能在你提到的 2.0 版本的基础上改进眼部/面部追踪功能,那就更有吸引力了。
Thanks! Yeah, I've been asked about this a few times - however, it does look like this is basically exactly that (using ARKit and ARCore) and exists already: https://denchisoft.com Have you heard of this tool? 谢谢!是的,我已经被问到过好几次了--不过,看起来这基本上就是这样(使用 ARKit 和 ARCore),而且已经存在了:https://denchisoft.com 你听说过这个工具吗?
VtubeStudio plus an iPhone for mocap is the standard for the big-time vtubers that use 2D avatars, however 2D avatars actually have quite a high barrier to entry because pretty much your only option is to have something commissioned. 3D avatars tend to be what nearly everyone starts out with because there are several free programs out there that can help you make a decent starter avatar. VtubeStudio 加上 iPhone 的 mocap 是使用 2D 头像的大牌 vtuber 的标准配置,但 2D 头像的入门门槛其实很高,因为你几乎只能选择委托制作。三维头像几乎是每个人一开始都会使用的,因为有几个免费程序可以帮你制作一个像样的入门头像。
VtubeStudio only supports the nicer 2D avatars and as far as I know has no intention of getting into the 3D side of things. There are a few decent programs people use with 3D avatars(links below), but it seems they aren't really as high quality as VtubeStudio so they don't have the market cornered like VtubeStudio does for 2D. VtubeStudio 只支持较好的 2D 头像,据我所知,它无意涉足 3D 方面。人们使用一些不错的程序制作 3D 头像(链接如下),但它们的质量似乎没有 VtubeStudio 高,因此它们无法像 VtubeStudio 那样占领 2D 市场。
As far as tracking goes, on the camera side of things there isn't really any difference between 2D and 3D that might limit you to one or the other. 就追踪而言,在摄像头方面,2D 和 3D 并没有什么区别,您可能只能选择其中之一。
There is a pretty large demand for tracking apps on Android because there are no widely used apps currently available. Big-time vtubers usually get iPhones so they can use the ARkit tracking that is Apple only, but a lot of people just starting out have Android and are currently forced to use a regular PC webcam that tends not to be as accurate and also doesn't allow people to offload the computing resources needed for face tracking to their phones. 由于目前还没有广泛使用的应用程序,因此对安卓系统上的跟踪应用程序有相当大的需求。大牌 vtub 制作者通常会购买 iPhone,这样他们就能使用苹果专用的 ARkit 追踪技术,但很多刚起步的人都使用安卓系统,目前他们只能使用普通的 PC 网络摄像头,这种摄像头往往不那么精确,而且也无法将人脸追踪所需的计算资源卸载到手机上。
Warudo(this one is a lot newer than Vroid Studio so it has a lot less users, but is probably the second most popular 3D app): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2079120/Warudo/ Warudo(这个比 Vroid Studio 新很多,所以用户少很多,但可能是第二受欢迎的 3D 应用程序):https://store.steampowered.com/app/2079120/Warudo/
As a long time simmer, I'm buying this tonight after work, especially now that my Pixel 4a 5G is sitting on my desk, propping up the 9 Pro XL that replaced it last week. 作为一名长期的熬夜族,我今晚下班后就要买下它,尤其是现在我的 Pixel 4a 5G 就放在我的办公桌上,支撑着上周取代它的 9 Pro XL。
Tried it on my lunch hour (WFH FTW!) and wow that is disorienting. Going to take some getting used to after 30+ years without it! 我在午餐时间试了试(WFH FTW!),哇,真让人迷失方向。30 多年没试过了,得花点时间适应一下!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it -
I recommend turning the sensitivity down to start with, also bind “toggle” in OpenTrack to turn it off when you don’t need it. 太棒了!希望你喜欢--我建议一开始就把灵敏度调低,也可以在 OpenTrack 中绑定 "切换",在不需要时将其关闭。
Thanks! I was just playing with it, and for the FIRST TIME EVER I was able to fly a proper pattern without using an external view or the mouse to see where the airport/runway was. Wow. A whole new level of immersion, for $12. Money well spent. 谢谢!我刚刚玩了一下,这是我有史以来第一次不用外部视图或鼠标来查看机场/跑道的位置,就能飞行一个正确的模式。哇全新的沉浸感,只花了 12 美元。
Made an account just to say thanks for sharing this, just bought it and it seems super cool. I'm looking forward to trying it out tonight! 我注册了一个账号,只是想说谢谢你的分享,我刚买了它,看起来超酷。我很期待今晚试一试!
How does this work without a virtual headset (don't you just end up looking off-screen)? Are you moving your head far less than the camera moves on the screen? 如果没有虚拟耳机(你不就只能看着屏幕外),这怎么能行?你头部的移动是否远小于屏幕上摄像头的移动?
> moving your head far less than the camera moves on the screen > 头部的移动幅度远远小于屏幕上摄像机的移动幅度
Precisely this. You keep your eyes on the screen and just nudge your head in the direction you want. Your brain “gets” it real quickly and it feels very intuitive. 正是如此。你的眼睛盯着屏幕,只需把头朝你想要的方向轻轻一点。你的大脑很快就会 "明白",感觉非常直观。
I released this fairly simple ChatGPT/Claude wrapper a few months ago. Currently it’s doing about 15K/month. It’s an invisible Electron app that can be used to cheat in coding interviews / OA’s. 几个月前,我发布了这个相当简单的 ChatGPT/Claude 封装程序。目前它的月收入约为 15K。这是一个隐形的 Electron 应用程序,可以用来在编码面试/OA 中作弊。
I honestly want everyone to cheat on these leetcode style interviews. I want that process to be broken and for the whole system to become completely ineffective, so that companies are forced to go back to actually putting some thought into hiring. 老实说,我希望每个人都在这种 leetcode 式的面试中作弊。我希望这个程序被打破,整个系统变得完全无效,这样公司就不得不重新在招聘时花些心思。
I doubt it'll happen and instead surveillance during these interviews will probably just increase instead, but perhaps you've kicked off a game of cat and mouse here, which may make some hiring managers reconsider leetcode. 我怀疑这不会发生,相反,在这些面试中的监视可能只会增加,但也许你在这里开启了一个猫捉老鼠的游戏,这可能会让一些招聘经理重新考虑 leetcode。
Thanks for echoing my thoughts. This is what I feel about the process to, and at the point in my life where I'm at I couldn't care less about this being unethical. 谢谢你赞同我的想法。这就是我对这个过程的感受,在我人生的这个阶段,我根本不在乎这是否不道德。
What a great idea! Honestly probably one of the better uses of LLMs that I’ve seen. Wishing you continued success. 真是个好主意!老实说,这可能是我见过的更好地使用 LLMs 的方法之一。祝您继续取得成功。
I created it in 2008 and have maintained and improved it over the years. I am trying to figure out how to monetize it more. I currently make around $2k a month. I just use adsense and have a paid membership feature through buymeacoffee. I get massive traffic and I'm pretty much the #1 result for anything related to best/greatest books. 我于 2008 年创建了该网站,多年来一直对其进行维护和改进。我正在想办法让它更赚钱。目前我每月的收入约为 2,000 美元。我只使用 adsense,并通过 buymeacoffee 提供付费会员功能。我的网站流量很大,只要是与最佳/最伟大图书相关的内容,我的网站几乎都排在第一位。↳
It's built with Rails and Postgresql and hosted on 3 linode servers. I get around 250k page visits a day. 它由 Rails 和 Postgresql 构建,托管在 3 台 linode 服务器上。我每天的页面访问量约为 25 万次。
Can you go into more details, when was it built and how much time have you spent (approx) on creating the content? or is it all generated? And the traffic's gradual organic increase? 您能否详细说明一下,网站是什么时候建立的,您大约花了多少时间来创建内容?流量是逐步有机增加的吗?
Interesting to see Adsense revenue still being so high, I imagined this category being so competitive and diluted the CPM would be very low! 看到 Adsense 的收入仍然这么高,我觉得很有趣,我以为这个类别的竞争会很激烈,CPM 会很低!
I noticed your purchase modal only shows Amazon pricing, are you using their API to get prices or its scraped data. If its scraped/stale data, I would look into the pricing display guidelines for affiliates. 我注意到您的购买模式只显示亚马逊的定价,您是使用他们的应用程序接口获取价格,还是使用刮擦数据。如果是刮取/过期数据,我想了解一下联属会员的定价显示指南。
And why is it just Amazon and not other online bookstores too? 为什么只是亚马逊,而不是其他网上书店?↳
I built it in 2008, and have rewritten it twice now since them. I have spent quite a bit of time adding new lists. It's definitely a labor of love and I do spend quite a bit of time on it. 我在 2008 年创建了它,之后又重写了两次。我花了很多时间添加新的列表。这绝对是我的心血结晶,我确实花了不少时间在上面。
I do use Gen AI now to generate genres, descriptions, and to grab other data. Previously years ago i would just scrape it or manually set it. 我现在使用 Gen AI 来生成流派、描述和抓取其他数据。而在几年前,我只是通过搜刮或手动设置。↳
Amazon has a nice product API with up to date prices. 亚马逊有一个很好的产品 API,提供最新价格。↳
I am working on bookshop.org integration. I used to also do barnes & noble. The problem is neither of them have APIs to programmatically search for books, so i have to do complicated scraping. example: https://github.com/ssherman/bookshop-search 我正在进行 bookshop.org 整合工作。我以前也做过 barnes & noble。问题是这两家书店都没有以编程方式搜索图书的应用程序接口,所以我必须进行复杂的搜索。例如: https://github.com/ssherman/bookshop-search
Thank you for replying. I am (on and off) building a regional price comparison website for various regional online bookstores. I do want to build a more fairer and honest monthly/yearly list something like yours and the price comparison as the main USP but more so I really like reading and enjoy exploring books even if I don't read all of the ones I wan to. 感谢您的回复。我正在(断断续续地)为不同地区的在线书店建立一个地区性的价格比较网站。我确实想建立一个更公平、更诚实的月度/年度书单,就像您的书单一样,以价格比较作为主要的 USP,但更重要的是,我非常喜欢阅读,喜欢探索书籍,即使我没有读完所有我想读的书。
Your website is quite inspiring to me and have given me more ideas to explore. Thank you for sharing your ranking algorithm, very fascinating (and still understanding the intricacies of it). 您的网站对我启发很大,让我有了更多探索的想法。感谢您分享了您的排名算法,非常吸引人(我仍在了解其中的奥妙)。
I asked you about Amazon API because I noticed some of your prices are stale which is against their Pricing Display guidelines. 我问你亚马逊 API 的问题,是因为我注意到你的一些价格是过时的,这违反了他们的定价显示指南。
Its been a challenge for me to work with Amazon as their API is not easy to get access to, I mean I have an affiliate tag for A website but from what I've read as per their TOS I am only allowed to use it for A website and not for B. And for B I have to apply again for a new tag with a new website (which is still under development!) 对我来说,与亚马逊合作是一个挑战,因为他们的 API 并不容易访问,我的意思是,我有一个 A 网站的联盟标签,但根据我所读到的他们的服务条款,我只能将其用于 A 网站,而不能用于 B 网站。↳
I will end up working on a scraper or a few workers anyway as most online bookstores do not have an API, none have replied back to my emails inquiring the same. 无论如何,我最终还是要做一个或几个刮刀,因为大多数在线书店都没有应用程序接口,也没有人回复我的询问邮件。↳
yeah the amazon product API has some severe limitations. I have 25,000~ books on my site, and I just don't have enough API calls in a day to keep the prices 100% updated. It's on my todo list to revisit this, but it's low on my priority list. I don't make that much from amazon refs(couple hundred a month) 是的,亚马逊产品 API 有一些严重的限制。我的网站上有 25,000~ 本图书,而我一天中没有足够的 API 调用来保持价格的 100% 更新。在我的待办事项列表中,我需要重新考虑这个问题,但它在我的优先级列表中很低。我从亚马逊推荐中赚的钱并不多(每月几百美元)。
I will say that I don't think they really defend their TOS too much from my experience. I used to have a cookbooks site for years that used the same affiliate tag i use for my greatest books site, and never had any issues. 我想说的是,根据我的经验,我不认为他们真的会过多地维护他们的服务条款。我曾经有一个烹饪书网站,多年来一直使用与我最大的图书网站相同的联盟标签,从未出现过任何问题。
Still running https://hackernewsletter.com/ after 15 years and 60k+ subscribers. It has been hard to put a lot of focus on it the past couple years, but been finally getting some time to spend on some improvements there. Income here has always been simple sponsors which I'm very grateful for. https://hackernewsletter.com/ 已有 15 年历史,用户数量超过 6 万。在过去的几年里,我很难把大量精力放在这里,但现在终于有时间花在一些改进上了。这里的收入一直来源于简单的赞助商,对此我非常感激。
Also, maybe update the "recent issue" to be more recent than 2021! Just subscribed though; I'm looking forward to receiving it wherever I read my emails. 另外,也许可以更新 "最近一期",使其比 2021 年更近!不过,我已经订阅了,无论我在哪里阅读邮件,我都很期待能收到它。
I remember when you launched this, and I signed up for it right away. I still read it every day. I can't believe it's been 15 years already! Thanks for this awesome service. 我还记得你们推出这本书的时候,我马上就注册了。现在我还每天阅读。真不敢相信已经过去 15 年了!感谢您提供的这项优质服务。
I love your newsletter and created https://www.thegamingpub.com/ heavily inspired by it. It's basically the hacker newsletter but for the gaming world. 我很喜欢你们的时事通讯,并在很大程度上受其启发创建了 https://www.thegamingpub.com/。它基本上就是黑客通讯,不过是游戏世界的黑客通讯。
Any tips on how to acquire more subs? I have been slowwwwly getting subs organically. I even have some patreons now. 关于如何获得更多用户,有什么技巧吗?我一直在缓慢地获取有机订阅。我现在甚至有了一些 patreons。
For whatever reason, UBlock origin on Edge messes up the email content and somehow hides it. No issue using Firefox which also has UBlock origin running. 不管出于什么原因,Edge 上的 UBlock origin 会弄乱电子邮件内容,并以某种方式将其隐藏。使用同样运行 UBlock origin 的 Firefox 则没有问题。
Who'd have thought that a CMS could still make money in 2024, but this one is around £500 a month. 谁能想到,在 2024 年,内容管理系统还能赚钱,但这个系统的月收入约为 500 英镑。
It obviously doesn't pay the bills or the mortgage, but it works. All my clients are word of mouth, I do not advertise at all (a combination of costs and insanely opaque / fractured advertising models by Facebook and co...I don't have time to get a phd in your ad platform to see if any of my money is actually doing anything) 这显然无法支付账单或抵押贷款,但却行之有效。我所有的客户都是口口相传的,我根本不做广告(这是成本和 Facebook 和其他公司不透明/支离破碎的广告模式的综合结果......我没时间去研究你们的广告平台,看看我的钱是否真的起到了作用)。
I build it originally because I was fed up with Wordpress / Squarespace / Weebly / Wix, because all of their interfaces are slow and don't work on mobile. 我创建它的初衷是厌倦了 Wordpress、Squarespace、Weebly 和 Wix,因为它们的界面都很慢,而且无法在移动设备上运行。
This CMS is fast and works on mobile. 该内容管理系统速度快,可在移动设备上运行。
It's also pretty cheap nowadays, as I've not been raising prices like everyone else. 现在的价格也很便宜,因为我没有像其他人一样涨价。
It won't do super-flashy websites. It's mostly about having low-JS, good SEO, easy access to information, which can be managed by very inexperienced users (I live rurally and we have a fair few pensioners as clients, they all get along with the system very well). 它不会做超级华丽的网站。它的主要特点是:JS 低、搜索引擎优化效果好、信息访问方便,没有经验的用户也能管理(我住在农村,我们的客户中有相当多的退休人员,他们都能很好地使用该系统)。↳
There are just about a billion things I want to do with it, but it never made enough money to become my full-time job, so it mostly just sits there and does its job. 我想用它做的事情多达十亿件,但它从来没有赚到足够的钱成为我的全职工作,所以它大部分时间只是坐在那里做它的工作。
> It's mostly about having low-JS, good SEO, easy access to information, which can be managed by very inexperienced users > 这主要是指低级 JS、良好的搜索引擎优化、易于获取信息,而且没有经验的用户也能管理这些信息。
Nice! 不错!
I shared in the parent thread about my tool which spell checks sites, it found a few small issues:
https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=pinkpigeon.co.uk&uui... 我在上级主题中分享了我的拼写检查网站的工具,它发现了一些小问题: https://www.spl.ing/report-card?website=pinkpigeon.co.uk&uui...
I have built https://audiala.com which creates audioguides for historical and touristic places in cities all over the world. It brings a bit over $500/month in in-app purchases. 我创建了 https://audiala.com,为世界各地城市的历史和旅游景点制作语音导游。每月的应用内购买收入略高于 500 美元。
I got the idea in 2023 as I was solo traveling Florence, Italy and thought it would be much nicer to listen to stories about the monuments around me instead of having to read a guide. There is also so much more to be done: next, my plan is to create personalised itineraries based on your preferences, starting point, etc. 2023 年,我独自一人在意大利佛罗伦萨旅行时萌生了这个想法,当时我想,与其阅读旅游指南,不如听别人讲述身边的古迹故事。要做的事情还有很多:下一步,我的计划是根据你的喜好、出发点等创建个性化行程。
I tried paid marketing but found much more effective the SEO I have done on the website, and users seem to share with their friends and come back, which makes me happy. 我尝试过付费营销,但发现我在网站上做的搜索引擎优化更有效,而且用户似乎会与他们的朋友分享并再次光顾,这让我很高兴。
Super cool! I had a very similar idea recently: I wanted to have on-demand podcasts about one's surroundings as you explore a new place (also taking into account a small list of user interests). I did a prototype [1] with the OpenAI APIs but the generated results were too shallow and not as interesting. It seems you prepared it with more carefully curated content, smart. My city is covered by Audiala, will give it a try! 太酷了我最近也有一个非常类似的想法:我想在探索一个新地方时,按需播报周围的环境(同时考虑到用户的一小部分兴趣)。我用 OpenAI 应用程序接口做了一个原型 [1],但生成的结果太肤浅,不够有趣。看来你准备了更多精心策划的内容,很聪明。Audiala 覆盖了我所在的城市,我想试试!
Nice, I will check your solution too. I would also love to have NotebookLM available via API, it could be nice to generate podcast-like guides. 很好,我也会检查你的解决方案。我也希望能通过应用程序接口提供 NotebookLM,这样就能很好地生成类似播客的指南了。
Cool I had this idea about 10 years ago. I was walking around a city alone with headphones on while Google maps told me how to get to my destination. Thought how nice it would be to combine gps and audio to let me explore and learn. Glad to see someone executing on it! 酷 大约 10 年前,我有过这样的想法。我独自一人戴着耳机在城市中漫步,谷歌地图告诉我如何到达目的地。我想,如果能把 GPS 和音频结合起来,让我探索和学习,那该有多好。很高兴看到有人在执行这个想法!
Yes, it's definitely a cool project! Sometimes it's hard to stop reading and listening at all there is to learn and instead code... I hope to have the itineraries with directions done by end of January. 是的,这绝对是一个很酷的项目!有时候,我们很难停止阅读和聆听所有需要学习的东西,转而去编码......我希望能在 1 月底前完成带方向的行程。
Will definitely check this out. Our go-to guide whenever travelling Europe has always been Rick Steve's books and audio guide app. Those are like having a personal guide with you as he will tell cool things like "take few steps to the left, now the point you are standing is where Hitler stood and made a painting of this church (in Vienna)" or "Leonardo da Vinci used to stare at this artistic metal door for inspiration (in Florence)". Those audio tours are one of the most fun things we remember from our trips as he is a great storyteller. 我一定会去看看。每次去欧洲旅行,我们的首选导游都是 Rick Steve 的书和语音导游应用程序。他就像一个私人导游,会告诉你一些很酷的事情,比如 "向左走几步,现在你站的地方就是希特勒站着为这座教堂作画的地方(在维也纳)",或者 "达芬奇曾经盯着这扇艺术金属门寻找灵感(在佛罗伦萨)"。这些语音导览是我们旅行中记得最有趣的事情之一,因为他是个讲故事的高手。
Thanks for sharing. This type of storytelling is what I want to achieve, even if I am not there yet. But I am confident this is achievable already. 感谢您的分享。这种讲故事的方式正是我想要达到的目标,尽管我还没有达到。但我相信这是可以实现的。
I just noticed that you run https://allaboutberlin.com. My first website was https://toutsurprague.fr in 2008, similar ideas :) 我刚刚注意到您运行的是 https://allaboutberlin.com。我的第一个网站是 2008 年的 https://toutsurprague.fr,想法类似:)
It’s a RAG pipeline based on content from wikipedia and relevant websites. Getting the list of relevant places might the trickiest part of the pipeline but for this I settled with a not-perfect solution where users can manually request missing places. 这是一个基于维基百科和相关网站内容的 RAG 管道。获取相关地点的列表可能是管道中最棘手的部分,但为此我采用了一个并不完美的解决方案,即用户可以手动请求缺少的地点。
Interesting - how heavily are you utilizing AI generated content? Pages like this for example: https://audiala.com/en/germany 有趣的是,你们对人工智能生成内容的利用率有多高?比如像这样的页面: https://audiala.com/en/germany
We rely on AI for most of the content and correct if mistakes are spotted, but they seem quite rare. 99% of the content is directly coming from our AI pipeline. 我们的大部分内容都依赖于人工智能,如果发现错误,我们会及时纠正,但这种情况似乎并不多见。99% 的内容直接来自我们的人工智能管道。
I've built https://cophone.io - your online smartphone, complete with a phone number. It is an Android system running in the cloud that you can access via a browser, even on mobiles. Things like microphone and webcam work nicely, so you can even have meetings on cophone. 我创建了 https://cophone.io --您的在线智能手机,并配有电话号码。这是一个运行在云端的安卓系统,即使在手机上也可以通过浏览器访问。麦克风和网络摄像头等功能运行良好,因此您甚至可以在手机上开会。
After iterating on it for a while, customers seem very happy and now growing day by day. 经过一段时间的迭代,客户似乎非常满意,现在每天都在增长。
No marketing so far, just being out there and posting on various channels once in a while. 到目前为止,还没有进行过营销,只是偶尔在各种渠道上发布信息。
A small feedback: The poster image on your homepage (https://cophone.io/assets/images/virtual-smartphone-cophone....) is unnecessarily big (1.7MB). You can compress it into a much smaller JPEG without any visible defect. Maybe you don't need it at all as video will start playing soon anyway. 一个小小的反馈:您主页 ( https://cophone.io/assets/images/virtual-smartphone-cophone....)上的海报图片过大(1.7MB),这是不必要的。您可以将其压缩成小得多的 JPEG 格式,不会有任何明显的缺陷。也许您根本不需要它,因为视频很快就会开始播放。
You mention national and international phone calls. Do these virtual devices appear local to the customers region, to where your servers are located or are there options? 您提到了国内和国际电话。这些虚拟设备是出现在客户所在地区、服务器所在地,还是有其他选择?
Could someone use your service to run an Android device that behaves as if in the United States, for example, to use Android apps or web services that are region blocked and restrict use of VPN/Proxy? 是否有人可以使用你们的服务来运行一个行为如同在美国的安卓设备,例如,使用被地区封锁并限制使用 VPN/Proxy 的安卓应用程序或网络服务?↳
I make between $3k to $6k from putting a log cabin on Airbnb. This started during period of boredom during the pandemic. I operate remotely with smart home devices and with a local cleaning team/handyman. 我在 Airbnb 上租了一间小木屋,从中赚了 3,000 到 6,000 美元。这是在大流行病期间无聊时开始的。我通过智能家居设备和当地的清洁团队/杂工进行远程操作。
I had a project to completely automate this with an AI agent but Airbnb doesn't offer a publicly available API. 我曾有一个项目,想用人工智能代理实现完全自动化,但 Airbnb 没有提供公开可用的 API。↳
$3k seems high but the costs add up and the time as well (details here https://studiozenkai.com/post/airbnb-the-good-the-bad-the-pr... ). I always have a bit of profit at the end of year and the mortgage costs are entirely paid so no complaints here 3 000 美元看似很高,但成本和时间都在增加(详情请点击此处)。我在年底总会有一些利润,而且抵押贷款的费用已经全部付清,所以我没有任何怨言。↳
If I ever get fed up from tech projects, I can see myself getting a bigger vacation property and making this my own version of Barista FIRE 如果有一天我厌倦了技术项目,我就会买一处更大的度假房产,把它打造成我自己的 "Barista FIRE"。
I built https://check.supply with a friend - it’s an iOS app that is like a cash app experience for mailing a check. 我和一位朋友一起创建了 https://check.supply - 这是一款 iOS 应用程序,它就像一款用于邮寄支票的现金应用程序。
Old school landlords, paying gardeners, or other people still only accepting checks. We use plaid to connect your account, then press send, then track the printing, mailing and delivery of the check. 旧式房东、付费园丁或其他仍然只接受支票的人。我们使用 plaid 连接您的账户,然后按发送键,然后跟踪支票的打印、邮寄和交付。↳
This is awesome, I built this exact same thing back around 2008. However, I didn’t use plaid or any verification. I’d print whatever you wanted on the account and routing number lines. I just bought a stack of mailer checks and printed it from my laser printer and mail them out. MICR line ink is supposed to be magnetic but I think all the scanners are optical as I never had any complaints or issues as I personally was probably the biggest volume user. 这太棒了,我在 2008 年左右就做了这个一模一样的东西。不过,我没有使用格子或任何验证。我会在账户和路由号码行打印你想要的任何内容。我只是买了一叠邮寄支票,然后用激光打印机打印出来寄出去。MICR 线墨水应该是磁性的,但我认为所有的扫描仪都是光学的,因为我从未遇到过任何投诉或问题,因为我个人可能是最大的用户。
How did you design and build your homepage? I find that building the landing page and making it look like a professional, beautiful design is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm an experienced web developer but without a design to work off of - and especially accounting for mobile and dynamic sizing - I really struggle with this part of the work so I'm wondering what other people's workflows are for it. 您是如何设计和制作主页的?我发现建立登陆页面并使其看起来像一个专业、漂亮的设计是我最大的障碍之一。我是一个经验丰富的网站开发人员,但如果没有设计,特别是考虑到手机和动态尺寸,我在这部分工作上真的很吃力,所以我想知道其他人的工作流程是怎样的。
As someone who has struggled with this before, your fastest way is to look for pre-built templates on github or buy one's you like. 作为一个曾经为此苦恼过的人,最快的方法是在 github 上查找预建模板或购买自己喜欢的模板。
Looks like GP is using the pocket template from tailwindui - https://pocket.tailwindui.com/ 看来 GP 使用的是 tailwindui 的口袋模板 - https://pocket.tailwindui.com/
There are hundreds of people selling pre-built components, landing pages, templates etc. This at least gets you up and running and not stressing over design. As a dev who lacks design sense, this was immensely helpful. 有成百上千的人在销售预制组件、登陆页面、模板等。这至少能让你开始运行,而不必为设计而紧张。作为一个缺乏设计感的开发人员,这对我帮助很大。↳
Other option as sibling points out is to use bolt or lovable and give it explicit instructions on what kind of design to use. For example, with lovable, try this prompt "use neo brutalist design." 正如兄弟姐妹所指出的,另一种方法是使用 bolt 或 lovable,并明确指示使用哪种设计。例如,在使用 lovable 时,可以尝试这样的提示:"使用新野蛮主义设计"。
This is a massive insight for me. That entire landing page is a template with small edits. No wonder it looks so good. You nailed it. Thanks for this. I think the last time I looked into templates I wasn't impressed with what I found, and I think I underestimated what was available now in 2024. 这对我来说是一个巨大的启示。整个登陆页面都是一个模板,只做了少量编辑。难怪它看起来那么好。你真厉害。谢谢你的建议。我想我上次研究模板时并没有对所发现的东西留下深刻印象,我想我低估了 2024 年的可用性。
Not really. We don’t touch customer money- we just print and mail checks on their behalf. 其实不然。我们不碰客户的钱,只是代他们打印和邮寄支票。
We do require bank verification via Plaid, which proves the user has a valid username and login to their bank. 我们确实要求通过 Plaid 进行银行验证,以证明用户拥有有效的用户名和银行登录名。↳
We perform further KYC checks for suspicious payments. 我们会对可疑付款进行进一步的 KYC 检查。↳
Brilliant idea! I recently had a difficult time trying to get a cashiers check at a few nearby banks/credit unions I wasn’t a member of. It’s incomprehensible to me they weren’t willing to accept a fee in order to charge my debit card for the amount of the check + fee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 好主意最近,我在附近几家非我会员的银行/信用社申请本票时遇到了麻烦。他们不愿意接受手续费,以便从我的借记卡上扣除支票金额+手续费,这让我无法理解。
Nope. Lob doesn’t have instant bank verification which was a deal breaker for us. 没有。Lob 没有即时银行验证功能,这让我们很为难。
In fact there are several providers that offer checks via api but none of them worked for us, so we rolled our own :) 事实上,有几家提供商通过 api 提供检查服务,但都不适合我们,所以我们就自己开发了:)
I maintain https://mockoon.com, an API mocking tool for developers. I created it in 2017 and initially worked on it during my free time. I started focusing on it full-time three years ago and introduced cloud options to make the project sustainable alongside donations.
Revenue is growing slowly but steadily, and I’m proud to 1) start making a living from it, and 2) ensure the project’s open-source future. 我负责维护面向开发人员的 API 模拟工具 https://mockoon.com。我于 2017 年创建了它,最初是利用空闲时间开发的。三年前,我开始全职关注它,并引入了云选项,使项目与捐赠一起可持续发展。收入正在缓慢而稳定地增长,我很自豪:1)开始以此为生;2)确保项目的开源未来。
That tool is nice. It saved my ass during covid where i had a customer with an API which could not be reached from home. 这个工具不错。在科维德事件中,它救了我的命,当时我有一个客户的应用程序接口无法从家里接入。
My intern somehow managed to get it running inside docker for our dev systems. 我的实习生设法让它在我们的开发系统的 docker 中运行。↳
omg, i have used mockoon in the past. Thank you for creating the app, it's very intuitive to use and useful. Incredible work 天哪,我以前用过 mockoon。感谢您创建了这款应用程序,它使用起来非常直观、实用。了不起的作品
In 2023, I started selling solid wood rolling trays designed by my little sister and I on Etsy (The Stoned Craftsmen). 2023 年,我开始在 Etsy(The Stoned Craftsmen)上销售我和妹妹设计的实木滚动托盘。
Almost immediately I was making $1200-2000 per month. Some months can be big months (especially around Thanksgiving/Christmas) where I'm getting $75-200 a day in sales, but some months can be dogs (July and August this year were literally $0 months - the only 2 on record - I think an algorithm changed on Etsy and we got punished or something). When the sales were growing, the work was fun, when they plateaued then dipped, it made it hard to feel energized to do the work. 几乎是一瞬间,我的月收入就达到了 1200-2000 美元。有些月份(尤其是感恩节/圣诞节前后)的销售额会很高(每天能赚 75-200 美元),但有些月份的销售额却很低(今年 7 月和 8 月的销售额几乎为零(这是有记录以来仅有的两个月--我想是 Etsy 更改了算法,我们受到了惩罚之类的)。当销售额增长时,工作很有趣;当销售额趋于平稳然后下滑时,就很难再有精力去工作了。
The first year I spent a lot of time optimizing everything on the manufacturing side. Better tool paths, less tool changes, better speeds to not break everything, better use of materials, better use of disposables. I tried optimizing my Etsy store, but I couldn't get anything to increase sales, and moving to my own Shopify was a waste of $40/mo for 6 months because driving my own paid traffic from social media (which has rules against paraphernalia) was hard, so eventually I dropped that and stuck with Etsy and tried to wholesale to dispensaries and headshops around me, but my wholesale price is too high, and I don't want to offshore my manufacturing to get my price low enough. 第一年,我花了很多时间优化生产方面的一切。更好的刀具路径、更少的刀具更换、更好的速度以避免损坏一切、更好地使用材料、更好地使用一次性用品。我试着优化我的 Etsy 商店,但我无法提高销售额,转到我自己的 Shopify 商店又浪费了 6 个月 40 美元/月的费用,因为我很难从社交媒体(社交媒体有禁止用品的规定)上获得自己的付费流量,所以最终我放弃了,坚持使用 Etsy,并尝试向我周围的药房和药店批发,但我的批发价太高了,我不想为了把价格降到足够低而让我的生产离岸。
I had grand plans on growing the brand. I was in talk with major brands in the space for collaboration, but our wholesale price point was too high, and 1 celebrity brand said the gap was too large, the other never got back in touch after sending them our wholesale sheet. 我曾有过发展品牌的宏伟计划。我曾与该领域的主要品牌商谈合作事宜,但我们的批发价点太高,一个知名品牌商说差距太大,另一个在给他们发送了我们的批发单后就再也没有联系过。
So I think I'm just going to have a nice side biz as a niche maker of solid wood rolling trays. 所以我想,作为一个小众的实木滚动托盘制造商,我将会有一个不错的副业。
Took me a couple of minutes, a google search, and then another couple of minutes to understand what a "rolling joint" is. (not native English speaker) 我花了几分钟时间在谷歌上搜索,然后又花了几分钟才明白什么是 "滚动接头"。(母语不是英语)
As a CNC enthusiast I wondered what this was and what the market was like (I don't partake so hadn't heard of a rolling tray). 作为数控爱好者,我想知道这是什么,市场情况如何(我不参与,所以没听说过滚动盘)。
A quick look on Etsy and it seemed super saturated, do you push through the noise somehow? 在 Etsy 上看了一眼,似乎饱和度超高,你是否以某种方式隔绝了噪音?
The niche I went into was making rolling trays I wouldn't mind my grandma seeing, because they don't look like the cheap steel Rick and Morty trays that they sell at head shops. 我所从事的细分市场是制作我不会介意我奶奶看到的滚动托盘,因为它们看起来不像头饰店里卖的廉价钢制 "瑞克和莫蒂 "托盘。
I don't know why I'm able to make so many sales. A lot of the other shops that are in this space don't sell as many, so maybe it is design + price point? At crafts shows (which I haven't sold at), similar sized but much "trashier" trays sell for double what I sell for on Etsy, but I'm not able to increase my price at all on Etsy (fucks the algorithm up). 我不知道为什么我能卖出这么多。在这个领域的很多其他商店都卖得不好,也许是因为设计和价位的原因?在手工艺品展上(我还没卖过),类似大小但更 "垃圾 "的托盘的售价是我在 Etsy 上售价的两倍,但我在 Etsy 上根本无法提价(算法出了问题)。
How much of your woodworking is CNC? I’ve been thinking about selling a slightly different take on fountain pen trays, but I’m just routing by hand and/or with jigs. 您的木工中有多少是数控的?我一直在考虑出售一种略有不同的钢笔托盘,但我只是用手工和/或夹具来制作。
When I started selling them, 50% was CNC, 40% was me and a bandsaw, 10% was me and a sander. 刚开始卖的时候,50% 是数控设备,40% 是我和一台带锯,10% 是我和一台砂光机。
After a 20 months of optimizations, its now 80% CNC, 20% sander. There is a specific product that my CNC barfs on 100% of the time, so I have to do a batch of like 30 at once so the failures don't have any real impact. My next big purchase will be a small drum sander ($1500) so that I can leave an onion skin (1/16" - 1/8" thick) on the bottom of my stock and let the sander remove it. But I need a good Christmas season to make that happen. 经过 20 个月的优化,现在 80% 的工作由 CNC 完成,20% 由砂光机完成。有一种特殊产品,我的数控机床每次都会出现故障,所以我必须一次加工 30 件产品,这样故障就不会造成任何实际影响。我的下一个大宗采购将是一台小型鼓式砂光机(1500 美元),这样我就可以在毛坯底部留下洋葱皮(1/16 英寸-1/8 英寸厚),让砂光机把它磨掉。但我需要一个好的圣诞季节来实现这个愿望。
What CNC do you use if you don't mind me asking? I do some hobby and small sales woodworking but run into requests where a CNC would make it easier. Would love recommendations. 如果不介意的话,请问您用的是哪种数控系统?我从事一些业余木工和小型木工销售工作,但遇到一些要求,如果有一台数控机床就会更方便。欢迎推荐。
6 months ago, I would have recommended my Carbide 3D Pro line, but starting 6 months ago, parts started failing one by one, it is now a CNC of Theseus. I had to buy a new controller board because sensors kept failing and Support would send me new sensors gratis, but I'd be down for a week while I waited and then attached the new one. After a handful of those, they guessed (still don't know how correct that guess is) that it was the controller board, but they didn't send that gratis, I had to buy that. When waiting for that to arrive, I received my most recent replacement sensor that was DOA. So I had to do some wire splicing and create a few Frankenstein's Sensors to get me through the holiday. So far my splices are holding up, but I don't have faith they will for long. After the Christmas Season, I need to decide if I'm going to keep repairing or go for a much better machine. In the $5k price range, they are all SO MUCH BETTER than what I have, and I paid nearly $4k in 2022. 6 个月前,我本想推荐我的 Carbide 3D Pro 系列产品,但从 6 个月前开始,零件一个接一个地出现故障,现在它已经成了忒修斯的数控系统。我不得不买一块新的控制板,因为传感器老是出问题。"支持 "部门会免费给我寄来新的传感器,但在等待和安装新传感器的过程中,我会停机一周。在经历了几次这样的情况后,他们猜测(仍然不知道猜测的正确性有多高)是控制器板的问题,但他们没有免费寄给我,我必须买。在等待寄来的过程中,我收到了最近更换的传感器,但它已经坏了。因此,我不得不做了一些接线工作,并制作了几个弗兰肯斯坦传感器来度过假期。到目前为止,我的接线还算牢靠,但我不相信它们能坚持多久。圣诞节过后,我需要决定是继续修理还是换一台更好的机器。在 5000 美元的价格范围内,它们都比我现有的机器好得多,而我在 2022 年支付了近 4000 美元。
Hmm yea I appreciate the insight. I was looking at the Nomad 3 as a good price point for me to do some of the size projects I'm thinking of and getting my feet wet but this makes for one of the more expensive investments in the shop so I'd like it to be somewhat reliable. I don't see myself sticking with that machine if I received any kind of volume work like it sounds you receive. Would be interested to see where you settle for the upgrade when that happens! 谢谢您的见解。我在考虑 Nomad 3 的价位,因为它适合我做一些我想做的大型项目,而且可以让我站稳脚跟,但这是店里比较昂贵的投资之一,所以我希望它有点可靠性。如果我像你一样接大量的活,我不认为自己会坚持使用这台机器。我很想知道,到时候你会在哪里解决升级问题!
I was tired of coming home after networking events and shift through pile of business cards, so I made an app to just scan cards and export them to csv. Pretty much just for fun app for myself, friends, and friends of friends, but other people started using it too. 我厌倦了参加完社交活动回家后还要翻阅一大堆名片,因此我制作了一个应用程序,只需扫描名片并将其导出为 csv 格式。这只是我自己、朋友和朋友的朋友玩玩而已,但其他人也开始使用它了。

I am running a web scraping API ScrapeNinja https://scrapeninja.net.
10K+ subscribers. 我正在运行一个网络搜刮 API ScrapeNinja https://scrapeninja.net。10K+ 订阅者。
It is a (rather messy) node.js codebase. Two rendering engines, including a hacked puppeteer package with stealth mode for better success rate. A big set of proxy providers under the hood. Bootstrapped. 这是一个(相当凌乱的)node.js 代码库。两个渲染引擎,包括一个带有隐身模式的 hacked puppeteer 软件包,以提高成功率。引擎盖下有一大套代理服务器。已引导。
Quite curious, I have been scraping some websites for my girlfriend with nodejs/puppeteer and put the content on an .epub file (she likes to read on her e-reader) and it can be quite annoying to bypass some anti-scraping techniques. 我很好奇,我一直在用 nodejs/puppeteer 为我女朋友抓取一些网站,并将内容放到 .epub 文件中(她喜欢用电子阅读器阅读),绕过一些反抓取技术可能会很烦人。↳
Small piece of feedback, the main text "Smart Web Scraping API" looks pretty off-center to me. Using latest Chrome on Mac on a 4k screen. 有一点小反馈,"Smart Web Scraping API"(智能网络抓取应用程序接口)的主文本在我看来偏离了中心。在 Mac 4k 屏幕上使用最新的 Chrome 浏览器。
I built a web app that extracts data from documents, like PDFs, Word, etc. I've seen people say "GPT wrapper", but it consistently outperforms similar tools in the space. My main customer is a private equity fund that randomly reached out. I didn't know much at all about fintech, but it works and gets the job done. 我创建了一个网络应用程序,可以从 PDF、Word 等文档中提取数据。我看到有人说它是 "GPT 包装器",但它的性能一直优于该领域的同类工具。我的主要客户是一家私募基金,他们是随机联系我的。虽然我对金融科技了解不多,但它很好用,能完成任务。
I don't have a proper marketing site yet since I've been focused on building the app, but it's coming soon (hopefully...) 我还没有一个合适的营销网站,因为我一直专注于构建应用程序,但它很快就会到来(希望......)。
How do you reduce errors or hallucinations? I recently uploaded a very clear PDF to meta.ai and asked it a few, very simple questions. It completely made up quotes, including page numbers, section numbers etc. 如何减少错误或幻觉?我最近向 meta.ai 上传了一份非常清晰的 PDF 文件,并向它提出了几个非常简单的问题。它完全编造了引文,包括页码、章节号等。
I don't feed documents directly to an LLM. First, extract and process the data in a structured way that maintains the hierarchy and metadata of the content (this is important!). Then convert this into a scheme that you can control — it doesn’t really matter what it is (JSON, XML, markdown). From there, feed this to the LLM in chunks. This will get you most of the way there. 我不会将文档直接输入到 LLM 中。首先,以结构化的方式提取和处理数据,保持内容的层次结构和元数据(这一点很重要!)。然后将其转换为您可以控制的方案,至于是什么并不重要(JSON、XML、markdown)。然后,将其分块馈送到 LLM 中。这样就能完成大部分工作。
There's different ways to validate, but that's why maintaining hierarchy and metadata is so important. If you track this information properly, you can cross-check responses across different LLMs! 有不同的验证方法,但这正是维护层次结构和元数据如此重要的原因。如果能正确跟踪这些信息,就可以交叉检查不同 LLMs 中的响应!↳
I laser cut wall art and sell over Facebook marketplace. Making $2000-5000/month. 我用激光切割墙面艺术品,并在 Facebook 市场上销售。月收入 2000-5000 美元。
I have a website, but most sales are done over FB and customers pick up at my house. I either purchase designs on Etsy, pay a designer to create dxf file or do it myself (if it's easy). To be honest, I don't like the position I'm in with this. It makes too much to give up, but not enough to be a "real thing". Plus, I'm still trading time for dollars. 我有一个网站,但大部分销售都是通过 FB 完成的,顾客会到我家取货。我要么在 Etsy 上购买设计,要么花钱请设计师制作 dxf 文件,要么自己做(如果容易的话)。老实说,我不喜欢我现在的处境。它让我无法放弃,但又不足以成为 "真正的东西"。另外,我还是在用时间换钱。
Have you considered selling at a bulk discount to local merchants? They have the physical presence and would remove the hassle/danger of people coming to your house. Keep your digital presence and just point people to the local shops or accept orders for the shops and send them there. 您是否考虑过以批量折扣价销售给当地商家?他们有实体店,可以免去人们上门的麻烦/危险。保留您的数字业务,只需将人们引向当地商店,或者接受商店的订单并将它们发送到那里。
I've done this a few times, both local shops and one further away (driveable, but I shipped to them instead). They take quite large margins (50-60% or monthly shelf fees) and for it to be profitable for both of us, they would have to price the pieces quite high. I need to find a product that has higher value that's not already done. 我做过几次这样的生意,有本地的商店,也有更远的商店(可以开车,但我还是把货寄给了他们)。他们收取的利润相当高(50%-60% 或每月上架费),要想让我们双方都有利可图,他们就必须把作品定价定得很高。我需要找到一种价值更高的产品,而这种产品目前还没有。
As for people coming to my house, I've completed nearly 1000 orders (most have done local pick up) and have never had an issue. Most often I leave the order at the front door and they either leave cash in mailbox or they e-transfer at pick up. Knock on wood, but I've never had anyone not pay. 至于别人来我家,我已经完成了近 1000 个订单(大部分都是在当地取货),从未出现过问题。大多数情况下,我把订单放在前门,他们要么在邮箱里留下现金,要么在取货时进行电子转账。但我从未遇到过不付款的情况。↳
Makes sense, thanks for sharing. My folks were artists and it brings me joy to see you making some money from your art. 有道理,谢谢你的分享。我的父母都是艺术家,看到你从艺术中赚到钱,我很高兴。
Hey I sell jewelry online as well (mostly Etsy and Shopify), and have been considering selling on fb marketplace. 嘿,我也在网上销售珠宝(主要是 Etsy 和 Shopify),而且一直在考虑在 fb marketplace 上销售。
Do you pay for ads, or just make for sale posts? How often do you need to manage the posts? I know there are a ton of people who message sellers and then just waste their time. How do you handle customer support? 您是支付广告费用,还是只发布出售信息?您需要多久管理一次帖子?我知道有很多人给卖家留言,然后浪费他们的时间。你们如何处理客户支持?
Feel free to shoot me a message at jack at minardi dot org 请随时通过 jack at minardi dot org 给我留言。
I can message it privately, don't really want to post publicly. 99% of orders are local pick up, shipping is just a hassle as most pieces don't fit in regular box (plus Canada Post is on strike right now).
EDIT - messaged you on your IG. 我可以私信,不想公开发布。99% 的订单都是本地取货,运输很麻烦,因为大多数作品都装不下普通的盒子(另外加拿大邮政现在正在罢工)。编辑 - 在您的 IG 上给您发了消息。
Depending on where you live in Canada, get on Stallion Express or Chitchats Express, which will be cheaper than Canada Post. They’ll either get you better rates through Canada Post, or access to the 3rd-party couriers like Amazon uses (FleetOptics, UniUni, ICS & others). 根据您在加拿大的居住地,使用 Stallion Express 或 Chitchats Express,它们会比加拿大邮政便宜。它们可以通过加拿大邮政为您提供更优惠的价格,也可以通过亚马逊等第三方快递公司(FleetOptics、UniUni、ICS 等)为您提供服务。
It's not always the cost that is prohibitive (although sometimes the shipping is the same price as the piece of wall art). What stops me from really exploring shipping is finding packaging for each, the time it takes to package and drive to CanadaPost etc. It probably sounds like I'm just making excuses, and you'd be right :) 让人望而却步的并不总是成本(尽管有时运费与挂画的价格相同)。阻止我真正探索运输的是为每件作品寻找包装,以及包装和开车到加拿大邮局所需的时间等等。这听起来像是我在找借口,您说得没错:)
Unsexy tech business making roughly $6-7k/mo. I partnered with a local janitorial company that targets industrial clients with recurring nightly cleaning needs and I make roughly 7% of gross revenue as a recurring weekly payment as long as the client stays on w/o much work. I help do some client support, SEO, and pay for things like Apollo.AI to reach out to customers but other than that it is pretty hands off. I feel very fortunate. 不性感的技术业务,月收入大约 6-7 千美元。我与当地的一家清洁公司合作,该公司的目标客户是有经常性夜间清洁需求的工业客户,只要客户不做太多工作,我就可以赚取毛收入的大约 7%,作为每周的经常性付款。我帮助做一些客户支持、搜索引擎优化,并支付像 Apollo.AI 这样的费用来联系客户,但除此之外,我几乎不插手。我感到非常幸运。
Yes, it is a leads driven business. I have focused on improving SEO in three of their core markets. Any new customer that signs up as a result of my marketing efforts, as long as their base margin is met, I get paid for the lifetime of that account. 是的,这是一项以客户需求为导向的业务。我的工作重点是提高他们三个核心市场的搜索引擎优化。在我的营销努力下,任何新客户只要达到基本利润率,我就能获得该账户的终生报酬。
I love everything about what you're doing here. There's a lot of opportunity in a lot of different niches and it's all just being slept on. 我喜欢你在这里所做的一切。在很多不同的利基领域都有很多机会,而这一切都被忽略了。
Did you already have a relationship with this company somehow or did you have to go and sell them? 你是已经与这家公司建立了某种关系,还是不得不去卖给他们?
I was introduced to them via a friend. I know the market well enough to recognize that there was potential to find clients and take a "scrape" off the new business. I know the qualms customers have with their existing service providers so whenever there are any concerns I curate very specific messages during the sales process to reel them in. Once they are signed up, getting it right 100% of the time is impossible, so I also step in on the "support" side and help solve issues, provide proposed solutions to challenges, etc. I do agree with you. Many other types of "sticky" and "unsexy" businesses out-there that are very easy to rank highly in SEO locally in dense urban environments. 我是通过朋友介绍认识他们的。我对市场非常了解,认识到有潜力找到客户并从新业务中 "刮 "走一笔。我了解客户对现有服务提供商的疑虑,因此只要有任何疑虑,我都会在销售过程中策划非常具体的信息来吸引他们。一旦他们注册成功,就不可能做到 100% 的正确,因此我也会在 "支持 "方面介入,帮助解决问题,提供应对挑战的建议方案等。我同意你的观点。在密集的城市环境中,还有许多其他类型的 "粘性 "和 "不性感 "的业务很容易在本地搜索引擎优化中获得高排名。

Maybe I'm reaching here, but as a guess, are you able to offer your partner's services out the cut you take to smooth over issues? I'm just thinking that you have fantastic incentives to do stuff like that (prioritize long-term money) that a support person working as an employee of the company directly would not have real incentives to offer... 也许我想得太远了,但我猜想,你是否可以在解决各种问题的过程中为你的合作伙伴提供服务?我只是在想,你有很棒的动力去做这样的事情(优先考虑长期资金),而作为公司员工直接工作的支持人员不会有真正的动力去提供这样的服务......
I think I am following your question but can you clarify if what you mean is if: I take a portion of the proceeds to send customers gifts, take them out to dinners, etc to ensure the relationship remains strong? If so, then not really. Usually these clients just want smooth problem free services. I am working with him on holiday gifting ideas but that's really the extent of it. I also incur some expenses such as marketing costs, software, etc but it is pretty nominal. In summary, clients just want the teams to show up, do a good job, not break anything, listen to special requests, execute those special requests, and rinse wash repeat. 我想我明白您的问题了,但您能否澄清一下,您的意思是否是 "如果"?我是否从收益中抽出一部分给客户送礼物、请他们吃饭等,以确保双方保持牢固的关系?如果是这样,那就不是了。通常情况下,这些客户只是希望得到顺畅、没有问题的服务。我正在和他一起研究节日送礼的点子,但也仅此而已。我也会产生一些费用,如市场营销费用、软件费用等,但这些费用都很微不足道。总之,客户只希望团队能出现在他们面前,做好工作,不损坏任何东西,倾听特殊要求,执行这些特殊要求,然后重复冲洗。
No, I meant if you need to discount or give them service gratis to smooth over an unhappy customer. 不,我的意思是,如果你需要打折或免费提供服务,以平息顾客的不满情绪。
In a former life I was a support drone. Days were full of us taking calls from abusive a-holes who just wanted to get over on someone and also people who had legitimate grievances and deserved relief. We typically weren't empowered to do anything about either of them. 我的前半生是一名后勤人员。每天我们都要接很多电话,有的人骂我们是混蛋,只想报复别人;有的人则有正当的不满,需要得到救济。我们通常无权对他们做任何事情。
Ah, no, never had to do that. There are cases sometimes when the janitorial staff breaks say a light fixture. What we've found is that immediate and direct communication about what happened, how it happened, what will be done to prevent it from happening again, and how we're going to fix is usually is well received and the partner compensates/credits them for the damage. Of course the invoice amount is smaller for the "repair" so therefore my scrape is less. I've tried to explain to my partner that there is a very select type of client he wants and he for the most part has received it well. The larger industrial type facilities are better than the smaller in my experience. 啊,没有,从来没有这样做过。有时,清洁工会弄坏灯具。我们发现,立即直接告知发生了什么、怎么发生的、将采取什么措施防止再次发生以及我们将如何修复,通常会得到很好的回应,合作伙伴也会赔偿/补偿他们的损失。当然,"修理 "的发票金额会小一些,因此我的擦伤也会少一些。我曾试着向我的合作伙伴解释,他想要的客户类型是精挑细选的,而他在大多数情况下都能得到很好的回应。根据我的经验,大型工业设施比小型设施要好。
Very interesting. I thought about a lot of projects over the same lines, providing similar services to various professions like the barbers, lawn mowers, painters etc. As I am not physically in the US, marketing and support has to be done virtually which seems bit of a blocker at this point. 非常有趣。我想过很多类似的项目,为理发师、割草机、油漆工等不同职业提供类似的服务。由于我本人不在美国,营销和支持工作必须通过虚拟方式进行,这在目前看来是个障碍。

This is impressive. I'm working in an adjacent space and one thing that has been a challenge is character consistency -- having characters in AI-generated art appear reasonably similar across different image generations. Your implementation looks to do a solid job -- any learnings that you're willing to share? 这令人印象深刻。我在一个相邻的空间工作,其中一个挑战就是角色的一致性--让人工智能生成的艺术作品中的角色在不同的图像世代中显示出合理的相似性。你的实现看起来做得很好,有什么经验可以分享吗?

My 2 Mac Apps bring about $700/mo each: 我的两个 Mac 应用程序每个月能带来约 700 美元的收入:

Mission Control Plus [2] fixes something stupidly simple: it adds closing, minimizing and quitting apps functionality to macOS' Mission Control. 任务控制增强版 [2] 解决了一个非常简单的问题:它为 macOS 的任务控制添加了关闭、最小化和退出应用程序的功能。

How is that not a thing is beyond me. I tried to do exactly what your app does multiple times and didn't understood how it's not a thing. 我真不明白这怎么就不是一件事。我试着做了很多次你的应用程序所做的事情,但不明白这怎么就不是一件事。
Recently I'm trying to start using an old mac. Never used it before and almost none of my friends and colleagues did. 最近,我想开始使用一台旧 Mac。以前从没用过,我的朋友和同事也几乎都没用过。
It's a journey of multiple awe and teeth grinding moments, one after another. 这是一段充满敬畏和磨牙时刻的旅程,一个接一个。
My side project is managing several clients websites on a subscription based service. My buddy and I started a web design agency for small companies. It was just us two and we bootstrapped everything and were in the process of building several apps for the dozen or so architectural firms we were working with when he died suddenly of an aortic aneurism. It was such a shock to me and so I just shut the company down. 我的副业是通过订阅服务管理几个客户的网站。我和我的朋友创办了一家为小公司服务的网页设计公司。当时只有我们两个人,我们自力更生,正在为我们合作的十几家建筑公司开发几个应用程序时,他突然死于主动脉瘤。这对我打击太大了,于是我关闭了公司。
Several clients begged me to keep going because we did such a good job doing the SEO, their sites were generating a ton of great leads and we had built a way to track the leads and send out first response emails with a phone call follow-up with 2 hours of the firm getting the email. Because of the fast turn around, they were beating other firms to the punch and we unknowingly had created a significant business advantage for them. 有几个客户求我继续做下去,因为我们的搜索引擎优化做得非常好,他们的网站产生了大量的潜在客户,而且我们已经建立了一种跟踪潜在客户的方法,并在公司收到电子邮件的 2 小时内发送第一封回复电子邮件和电话跟进。由于周转速度快,他们击败了其他公司,我们在不知不觉中为他们创造了巨大的业务优势。
Those 4 clients pay me for 8 hours of work a month at $65.00/hour. If you do the math, I'm clearing about 2K/month just to manage their sites, send out analytics and make content suggestions. It was a nice side hustle to have a few years back when I was laid off and was able to lean on this income until I got hired again. 这 4 个客户每月付给我 8 个小时的工资,每小时 65 美元。算下来,光是管理他们的网站、发送分析报告和提供内容建议,我每月就能挣到 2K 美元。几年前我被裁员时,这是个不错的副业,在我再次被雇用之前,我可以依靠这笔收入。↳
Can you clarify what you mean by “leads” here - is this the sort of “we found fifty names and emails that might be interested”, or is it a landing page that collects a email and phone number for when someone enters them? 您能否说明一下这里的 "线索 "是指 "我们找到了 50 个可能感兴趣的名字和电子邮件",还是指当有人进入时收集电子邮件和电话号码的登陆页面?
I am not trying to accuse you of something weird - it’s I hear a lot of lead generation as a basic business need and I never quite understood the real mechanisms - I only get the slightly passive landing site approach or cold calling 我并不是想指责你做了什么奇怪的事情--只是我听说过很多把创造销售线索作为基本业务需求的说法,但我从来都不太了解其中的真正机制--我只知道登陆网站或冷电话这种略显被动的方式。↳
>> Can you clarify what you mean by “leads” here >> 能否说明一下这里的 "线索 "是什么意思?
They were what sales people would refer to as "qualified leads". We had two simple questions they would answer before submitting the contact form. It really helped to define what clients were looking for and their expectations. This made first contact a lot more productive, and allowed the firms to get clients into their design process and get a commitment a lot faster. For many of the firms we were working with, this meant better leads than the ones they getting on various other platforms like Houzz and then they started investing more in their content as a marketing approach then they did before. 他们就是销售人员所说的 "合格线索"。在提交联系表之前,我们有两个简单的问题需要他们回答。这确实有助于明确客户的需求和期望。这使得首次接触更有成效,并让公司更快地让客户进入设计流程并获得承诺。对于与我们合作的许多公司来说,这意味着比他们在 Houzz 等其他各种平台上获得的更多潜在客户,然后他们开始在内容上投入更多,将其作为一种营销方式。↳
> Can you clarify what you mean by “leads” here > 能否说明一下这里的 "线索 "是什么意思?
Not GP but leads in this case were people that found their websites on Google and showed interest in buying their product. 这里所说的 "线索 "并不是指 GP,而是指在谷歌上找到他们的网站并表示有兴趣购买其产品的人。
> I only get the slightly passive landing site approach or cold calling > 我只能采用略显被动的登陆网站方式或冷冰冰的打电话方式
what would you expect to be a lead that would be different than that? A lead goes through steps of qualification until it becomes a customer. 你认为潜在客户会有什么不同?潜在客户在成为客户之前,需要经过一系列的资格审查。
That's wild. I saw this when you(?) posted it a while back and assumed no one would want this. No offense, but it doesn't make the coffee taste any better...... unless it does............? 太疯狂了。你(?)前不久发帖时我就看到了,当时我以为没人会要这个。无意冒犯,但这并不会让咖啡的味道变得更好......,除非它真的............?
Considering I hadn't heard of Belle Delphine until she came up in an LTT video, I'd venture a guess that her bath water was also for nerds. 考虑到我直到在 LTT 视频中才听说过 Belle Delphine,我大胆猜测她的洗澡水也是给书呆子准备的。
Probably not exactly what OP means by "side project" but in 2006 I started working towards getting FreeBSD running on EC2, and I got it working in 2011; I've been the maintainer of the FreeBSD/EC2 platform ever since. 也许这与 OP 所说的 "副业 "并不完全相同,但我从 2006 年开始致力于让 FreeBSD 在 EC2 上运行,并于 2011 年成功运行;从那时起,我一直是 FreeBSD/EC2 平台的维护者。
This started because I wanted to use FreeBSD in EC2 for Tarsnap, but I'm now getting sponsorship from Amazon for my work on FreeBSD (EC2 and release engineering) as well as a much smaller amount from a Patreon I set up a few years ago. 一开始是因为我想在 Tarsnap 的 EC2 中使用 FreeBSD,但现在我在 FreeBSD 上的工作(EC2 和发布工程)得到了亚马逊的赞助,我几年前建立的 Patreon 也为我提供了少量赞助。

I made an AI chatbot for OnlyFans models. Their fans can speak to "them" via a third party messaging app. It's currently pulling ~15k USD MRR. I built my own GPU infra for inference and I run Llama 3 with a fewshot prompting to get the model to respond like a given OF model, typically using their actual DMs with fans. 我为 OnlyFans 模型制作了一个人工智能聊天机器人。他们的粉丝可以通过第三方消息应用与 "他们 "对话。它目前的 MRR 约为 1.5 万美元。我为推理建立了自己的 GPU 基础架构,并运行 Llama 3,使用少量的提示让模型像给定的 OF 模型一样做出回应,通常使用他们与粉丝的实际 DM。
I don't have a website for obvious reasons, but if you're in the biz you've no doubt heard about my tool :) 由于显而易见的原因,我没有网站,但如果你是业内人士,你肯定听说过我的工具:)
I don't mean this in a critical way to you but, man, this makes me so sad to think about. Models making money from lonely people so desperate for a connection that they pay to chat with someone and then they don't even end up chatting with a human at all. 我并不是在批评你,但是,伙计,想到这些我就很难过。模特们从孤独的人那里赚钱,这些人非常渴望与人交流,他们花钱找人聊天,结果却根本没聊上几句。
25% of US college students on antidepressants. Up 64% from 2020. People staring at screens 3/4 of their life. Probably nothing. Technology making the world a better place. 25%的美国大学生服用抗抑郁药物。比 2020 年增加了 64%。人们一生有 3/4 的时间盯着屏幕。也许什么都不是。科技让世界更美好。
It's not really that sad. Young guys with a bit of disposable income could do a lot worse than subscribing to someone's onlyfans and chatting with a bot. I don't charge subscribers directly and don't do any pay-per-message scheme, it's free for the user (provided they're subscribed to my client's page). 其实也没那么悲哀。有一点可支配收入的年轻人可以订阅某人的 onlyfans 并与机器人聊天,这比订阅更糟糕。我不会直接向订阅者收费,也没有任何按消息付费的计划,对用户来说是免费的(前提是他们订阅了我客户的页面)。
The conversations aren't even overtly sexual in nature, mostly just guys sending "hey hope you're having a good day" during work hours. Llama is good, but honestly I think anyone would probably know they're talking to a bot after a few days, but they still keep talking to it anyways. 这些对话甚至没有明显的性意味,大多只是男人们在工作时间发送的 "嘿,希望你今天过得愉快"。Llama 是不错,但老实说,我觉得任何人都可能在几天后知道自己在和一个机器人聊天,但他们还是会继续和它聊天。
> The conversations aren't even overtly sexual in nature, mostly just guys sending "hey hope you're having a good day" during work hours. > 这些对话甚至没有明显的性意味,大多只是男人们在工作时间发送的 "嘿,希望你今天过得愉快"。
I actually think that's worse. 实际上,我觉得这样更糟。
Ed: but props to you for filling a technology niche. 埃德:但你填补了一个技术空白,值得称赞。
They aren't even getting any sexual gratification from it. Just lonely little unrequited missives. Hoping and failing to make a connection and not even realizing they haven't. 他们甚至没有从中得到任何性满足。只是寂寞的单相思他们希望建立联系,但却失败了,甚至没有意识到他们还没有建立联系。↳
Can you describe your GPU setup? I have been super interested to get some coloc space, but have a ton of questions. 你能描述一下你的 GPU 设置吗?我对获得一些主机托管空间非常感兴趣,但有很多问题。
Nothing fancy, just bought a motherboard from SM, and a 4U case. I have a couple of boxes with 6 NVIDIA 3080s and recently upgraded to a used super micro with 8 A100s 没什么特别的,只是从 SM 买了一块主板和一个 4U 机箱。我有几个装有 6 个英伟达 3080 处理器的机箱,最近又升级到了一个装有 8 个 A100 处理器的二手超级微型机。
Colocation wise, you pretty much buy the space, show up with the server and rack it yourself into a locked cabinet, not much else 就主机代管而言,您只需购买空间,带着服务器到场,然后将服务器架设到一个上锁的机柜中,其他就不多说了。
That is sick, I wanna build out something of a similar size (sans gpus). How much does colocation cost in your area? 太牛逼了,我也想建个类似的规模(不含 GPU)。你所在地区的主机托管费用是多少?
I am always in awe of people that simply solve a problem (instead of having to get all esoteric about it) but I cannot understand what problem chat solves when the subject is more interesting to look at than speak to. :) 我一直很敬佩那些能简单解决问题的人(而不是把问题搞得很深奥),但我不明白聊天能解决什么问题,当聊天对象看起来比说话更有趣时。)

For chat, I'd say 70% of the messages are non-sexual in nature. People just want to have someone to talk to during their work day. Not all, but quite a few models have been open about how their chat during the day is AI generated. 就聊天而言,我认为 70% 的信息都是非性的。人们只是想在工作期间找个人聊聊天。虽然不是全部,但也有不少模特公开表示她们白天的聊天是人工智能生成的。
Never really needed one, I started the business because a few friends asked if a solution existed and all the marketing has been word of mouth. We send out a weekly analytics email to clients breaking down subscriber usage and some topics analysis, but nothing too complicated. 我从来没有真正需要过,我之所以创办这个公司,是因为有几个朋友问我是否有这样的解决方案,而且所有的营销活动都是口口相传。我们每周都会向客户发送一封分析邮件,分析订阅者的使用情况和一些主题分析,但没有太复杂的内容。
I could see why'd you say that, but I think it's a case of hate the game, not the player. We have crafted a society that has a dearth of compassion and companionship, that's the unfortunate reality. 我明白你为什么这么说,但我认为你是在憎恨游戏,而不是玩家。我们创造了一个缺乏同情和陪伴的社会,这就是不幸的现实。
There are lots of sad, lonely guys out there and that's not GaryNumanVevo's fault, he's just catering to them. 外面有很多悲伤、孤独的人,这不是 GaryNumanVevo 的错,他只是在迎合他们。
I do feel like "Don't hate the player, hate the game" is used to shield folks from criticism about actively participating in a societal ill in exchange for money. I realize that sex work and its presence in society goes all the way back to antiquity, and technology is only going to make it more prevalent. Some folks with compartmentalized morality may as well think "Life is short. Why work a crappy 9-5 when I can make a ton of money doing this other stuff instead?" I get the appeal. 我确实觉得 "不要憎恨玩家,要憎恨游戏 "这句话是用来屏蔽人们对积极参与社会弊端以换取金钱的批评的。我知道,性工作及其在社会中的存在可以追溯到古代,而技术只会让它变得更加普遍。一些道德观念狭隘的人可能会认为 "人生苦短"。如果我可以做这些事赚大钱,为什么还要朝九晚五地工作呢?"我明白他们的想法。
That said, if shame were brought back into the mix on a large scale, a lot of this profiteering would evaporate away, and push this industry underground. 话虽如此,但如果能让羞耻感大规模回归,很多暴利就会烟消云散,并将这一行业推向地下。↳
Whether or not GaryNumanVevo runs his service there are going to be lonely men out there. I don't know how we'd even begin to fix that. 无论GaryNumanVevo是否提供服务 外面都会有孤独的男人我不知道我们该如何解决这个问题。
I started designing and building websites for locally-owned small businesses in my town, and have grown it to 45+ clients with a current MRR around $11k. I still work full-time and have built an awesome team over the years! 我开始为镇上的本地小企业设计和建设网站,现在已经发展到 45 个以上的客户,目前的 MRR 约为 1.1 万美元。这些年来,我仍然全职工作,并建立了一支出色的团队!
Sure! When I started 5 years ago, I had a single Django + Wagtail app that hosted all websites on a single monorepo/deployable. For the few sites that needed interactivity I just used vanilla JS. We actually do have a few sites that we've done some custom Stripe integrations for so they can accept payments online, but it's very minimal/simple. 当然!5 年前我刚开始创业时,我有一个 Django + Wagtail 应用程序,将所有网站托管在一个 monorepo/deployable 上。对于少数需要交互性的网站,我只使用香草 JS。实际上,我们确实为一些网站定制了 Stripe 集成,以便他们可以接受在线支付,但这都是非常简单的。
About a year and a half ago I began moving everything to Next.js, and have migrated 30 sites from the Django platform and have built 20+ on the Next.js platform since building that out. 大约一年半以前,我开始将所有东西迁移到 Next.js,从 Django 平台迁移了 30 个网站,并在 Next.js 平台上建立了 20 多个网站。
Next has allowed us to create reusable but heavily-themeable functional components that we couldn't do with Django's templating language (without a lot of boilerplate and pain), and I'm extremely happy with the move (even though I might not reach for Next on my next side project). Next 让我们能够创建可重复使用但又具有很强可伸缩性的功能组件,这是 Django 的模板语言无法做到的(没有大量的模板和痛苦),我对这一举措非常满意(尽管我可能不会在下一个副项目中使用 Next)。↳
I do however wish I had given more attention to Astro when I was evaluating frameworks, because in hindsight it looks like a perfect fit for what we're doing. Not worth migrating now, though. Haha. 不过,我真希望在评估框架时能多关注 Astro,因为事后看来它非常适合我们的工作。不过现在还不值得迁移。哈哈。
I've wanted to do something like this for years. I might have to actually stop fiddling with the idea in my head and give it a real shot in 2025. 我想做这样的事情已经很多年了。我可能不得不停止在脑子里胡思乱想,在 2025 年真正尝试一下。
I'm curious - how does the design process go? Do you propose a design, do they usually have a pretty complete vision or do you have templates that they can take inspiration from? 我很好奇,设计过程是怎样的?是你提出设计方案,还是他们通常已经有了相当完整的构想,或者你有模板供他们从中汲取灵感?↳
Not sure how everything works on your project, but CSS vars should allow to make almost any HTML "themable". 我不确定你的项目是如何运行的,但 CSS vars 可以让几乎所有 HTML 变成 "可主题化 "的。
I've used that method with twig (php), vue and static html templates. 我曾在 twig (php)、vue 和静态 HTML 模板中使用过这种方法。
Wagtail is amazing! It did everything we needed and more. My primary frustration was in building reusable server-side rendered components and "interactive islands" (as popularized by Astro). The Django/Jinja templating language can be pretty verbose and difficult to parameterize reusable functionality. I found myself constantly doing this: Wagtail 太棒了!它能满足我们的一切需求,甚至更多。我最头疼的是如何构建可重复使用的服务器端渲染组件和 "互动岛"(正如 Astro 所推广的那样)。Django/Jinja 模板语言可能非常啰嗦,而且很难对可重用功能进行参数化。我发现自己一直在这样做:
```
{% with field|contact_label as label %}
<div class="relative mt-5 my-3 md:my-5">
<label class="{% if placeholders %}hidden{% endif %} bg-white absolute -top-[9px] block ml-2 px-2 text-black text-sm rounded" for="{{ form_name }}_{{ field }}"
id="{{ form_name }}_{{ field }}_label">
{{ label }}
</label>
``` ```{% with field|contact_label as label %}<div class="relative mt-5 my-3 md:my-5"> <label id="{{ form_name }}_{ field }}_label" for="{{ form_name }}_{ field }}" class="{% if placeholders %}hidden{% endif %} bg-white absolute -top-[9px] block ml-2 px-2 text-black text-sm rounded"> {{ label }}</label> ```</div>↳
(the "with" templatetag) (与 "模板标签)。
Over time these templates just became very difficult to work with. Part of that is likely also because I've been a full-time React dev for the better part of a decade, and I'm just faster with it. 随着时间的推移,这些模板变得非常难以使用。部分原因可能也是因为我已经做了十多年的全职 React 开发人员,我对它的掌握更快了。↳
nice. yeah wagtail is great and so is django, but like any tech stack there are limits. i'm also skilled at react and have found a way to use react within django but it feels weird sometimes. 是的,Wagtail 和 Django 都很棒,但和其他技术堆栈一样,它们也有局限性。我也精通 react,并找到了在 Django 中使用 react 的方法,但有时感觉很奇怪。
Thanks! Mostly Facebook honestly. Small business owners hang out there a ton because of all the community pages where folks ask for recommendations for certain types of businesses in the area. 谢谢!老实说,主要是 Facebook。小企业主们经常在那里闲逛,因为在所有的社区页面上,人们都会要求推荐该地区的某类企业。
I built a Figma to Bubble.io converter, basically Figma to code but for a nocode platform. Niche, but something that I personally needed so figured others may find value as well. I charge a flat $25/mo, and based on the Figma design it significantly speeds up my development in bubble. 我创建了一个 Figma 到 Bubble.io 的转换器,基本上是 Figma 到代码的转换,但用于 nocode 平台。这是个小众领域,但也是我个人所需要的,所以我想其他人也会发现它的价值。我的收费是统一的 25 美元/月,基于 Figma 设计,它大大加快了我在 Bubble 中的开发速度。
Been hovering around $1.4K MRR, only real spend is ~$15/day google ads which has yet to pay for itself, but I keep telling myself its a good excuse to learn google ads. MRR 一直徘徊在 1.4 千美元左右,唯一的实际支出是每天约 15 美元的谷歌广告费用,但我一直告诉自己,这是学习谷歌广告的好借口。
I used to work for a company that did Bubble.io development including custom plugins. A very... cheap community of devs haha. No one wanted to spend money on much of anything in our experience. 我曾在一家开发 Bubble.io(包括定制插件)的公司工作过。这是一个非常......廉价的开发者社区,哈哈。根据我们的经验,没人愿意在任何东西上花钱。
Twitter/X, bubble forum, bubblecon, etc. Bubble has a strong community, so I had a lot of support from other devs sharing it when I launched. Twitter/X、泡泡论坛、泡泡大会等。泡泡有一个强大的社区,所以当我推出泡泡时,有很多其他开发者支持我分享泡泡。

I made News Minimalist — a news aggregator where all news is ranked by significance on a scale from 0 to 10. 我制作了 "新闻极简主义"(News Minimalist)--一个新闻聚合器,所有新闻都按重要性从 0 到 10 进行排序。
The ranking lets readers select a "significance threshold" and ignore all news below it. 该排名让读者选择一个 "重要性阈值",并忽略所有低于该阈值的新闻。
It's making close to $1000 MRR now with all money coming from premium subscriptions: users can personalize their feed with category/country filters, block topics and get access to news summaries. 现在,它的 MRR 已接近 1000 美元,所有资金都来自高级订阅:用户可以通过类别/国家过滤器个性化订阅,屏蔽主题并获取新闻摘要。↳
Congrats on this, I’m a subscriber from the early days albeit not a paying one but it’s amazing to see you are bringing in revenue. 祝贺你们,我是早期的订阅者,虽然不是付费订阅者,但看到你们带来了收入,我感到非常惊讶。
I built a service that makes sure your forms are always working — no more lost leads due to something breaking. Currently bringing in over 1k/mo: https://formtester365.com 我创建了一项服务,可确保您的表单始终正常工作 - 不再因表单损坏而丢失潜在客户。目前每月收入超过 1k: https://formtester365.com
It fills out the form as a human would (daily or on whatever weekly schedule you want) and then confirms it was received. It currently supports Gravity Forms on Wordpress due to their API for confirming submissions, but a new version that supports all web forms is nearly ready. 它可以像人一样填写表格(每天或每周),然后确认是否收到。目前,它支持 Wordpress 上的 Gravity 表单,因为它们有用于确认提交的 API,但支持所有网络表单的新版本即将推出。
One of the main use cases is for agencies that want to make sure clients sites are always working. 其中一个主要用例是那些希望确保客户网站始终正常运行的机构。
I write a newsletter on cybersecurity every week. Usually a summary of interesting articles and a list of known breaches and software issues. 我每周都会写一份关于网络安全的通讯。通常是一些有趣文章的摘要以及已知漏洞和软件问题的列表。
It's been going for seven years now I think? It makes about 25k in sponsorships each year, although it could be more if I actually got myself to sell a bit more. 我想它已经有七年历史了吧?每年的赞助收入约为 2.5 万美元,不过如果我自己能多卖一点,收入可能会更多。
Either way, it's been a great way for me to keep learning. Nothing beats having to summarize a thing to thousands of people to make sure you really understand it :-) 无论如何,这都是我不断学习的好方法。没有什么比向成千上万的人总结一件事更能确保你真正理解它了:-)
Awesome! I love news-related ideas like this since I'm interested in several industries. Had an idea similar to this a few years ago (in a different industry though) but didn't follow-through because I got bogged down in hosting/email infrastructure decisions. Keep it up! 太棒了!我喜欢这样与新闻相关的想法,因为我对多个行业都感兴趣。几年前我也有过类似的想法(不过是在不同的行业),但没有付诸实施,因为我陷入了主机/电子邮件基础设施决策的困境。继续努力
Thanks! If it helps, I ended up using Curated for hosting and email infrastructure. Been meaning to self-host something for ages but until then I'm happy to use them. 谢谢!如果能帮上忙的话,我最终使用了 Curated 的主机和电子邮件基础设施。我一直想自己托管一些东西,但在那之前,我很乐意使用它们。
I have a bunch of news websites bookmarked over the years that I scour through every week. And once and a while I pick something up through social media or friends and colleagues. 多年来,我收藏了许多新闻网站,每周都会浏览一遍。偶尔我也会通过社交媒体或朋友和同事获取一些信息。
Marketing: I tried. I did some cross-promotion with other newsletters, some paid marketing, but that was ages ago. I don't take to marketing well so it tends to fall by the wayside ^^ 营销:我试过。我与其他通讯进行过一些交叉推广,也做过一些付费营销,但那都是很久以前的事了。我不善于营销,所以往往会被遗忘 ^^
We wrote a zine on System evals for LLM-driven apps. Lots of people building impressive demos with AIs, but to get it working well in production over time (maintainable), you need some kind of system eval. It's like some kind of open secret, since lots of people are still floating on vibes-based engineering and looks-good-to-me@K metrics. 我们为LLM驱动的应用程序编写了一本关于系统评估的杂志。很多人都在用人工智能制作令人印象深刻的演示,但要使其在生产中长期良好运行(可维护),你需要某种系统评估。这就像一个公开的秘密,因为很多人还停留在基于感觉的工程设计和看起来不错的指标上。
Sri and I wrote it as a way to collaborate after doing a podcast together, which made no money. Picked a topic that people seemed to be interested in. Did the whole customer dev thing, and honestly, we were unsure if it'd make any money at all. Representing the AI as a shoggoth is from that meme, and we merely thought juxtaposing it with some furry animals was funny. 斯里和我写这本书的初衷是在一起制作播客后进行合作,但播客并没有赚到钱。我们选了一个人们似乎感兴趣的话题。做了整个客户开发工作,老实说,我们根本不确定是否能赚到钱。把人工智能说成是 "食人魔"(shoggoth)来自于那个流行语,我们只是觉得把它和一些毛茸茸的动物并列在一起很有趣。
But it turns out people like it. It introduces system evals without jargon, and frames how to get started with evals for AI engineers that moved into the space from other kinds of engineering. It feels pretty good when people buy it and say they like it. 但事实证明,人们喜欢它。它不使用专业术语介绍系统演算法,并为从其他工程领域转入这一领域的人工智能工程师提供了如何开始演算法的框架。当人们购买并表示喜欢时,感觉非常好。↳
I still make about ~$1000/month with my 5/3/1 app : https://fivethreeone.app/ 我的 5/3/1 应用程序每月仍可赚取约 1000 美元 : https://fivethreeone.app/
Managed to raise some money from friends to work full-time on a successor that allows you to write your own workout programs with formulas. 设法从朋友那里筹集了一些资金,全职开发一款可以让你用公式编写自己的锻炼计划的成功软件。
I've been using your app for the last 3-4 months very successfully. There are a few niggles here and there but overall it's been exactly what I needed, and I'm very grateful for it! 在过去的三四个月里,我一直在使用你们的应用程序,非常成功。虽然有一些小问题,但总的来说,它正是我所需要的,我非常感谢它!
Hey there! I built a learning-by-doing platform for DevOps, SRE, and all other types of infra engineers - https://labs.iximiuz.com. Started working on the project exactly two years ago, and about 12 months ago added a Premium membership, which immediately took off! Still mind-blown by the results, and it's something I build only in my free (from the main job) time. The labs were making ~$3K MRR for a few months before the Black Friday sale and then doubled the annual revenue in a week by making another ~25K at the end of this November. 你们好!我为 DevOps、SRE 和所有其他类型的信息工程师创建了一个边做边学的平台 - https://labs.iximiuz.com。两年前我开始做这个项目,大约 12 个月前增加了高级会员资格,结果立即大受欢迎!现在,我仍然被它的成果所震撼,这是我利用空闲(主要工作之余)时间创建的。在 "黑色星期五 "大促销之前的几个月里,实验室的 MRR 一直在 3 千美元左右,而在今年 11 月底,实验室的年收入又在一周内翻了一番,达到了 2.5 万美元。
I built Digest, which allows you to create a personalized daily digest containing all of the content you already read. Add content sources like Reddit, Google Calendar, Instagram, X, TikTok, Stripe, Hacker News, Weather, YouTube, Product Hunt, RSS, Google News, Stocks, Crypto and more. Content is summarized from sources using AI. Each day (week or month) you will get a newsletter containing updates from all of the sources that you added to your digest. I also recently added a newsletter reader to it, so you can get an email address that you use to signup to all newsletters with, and then Digest becomes your newsletter reader (and even emails you a list of all your new newsletters).
https://usedigest.com 我创建了 Digest,它允许你创建个性化的每日摘要,其中包含你已经阅读过的所有内容。添加的内容来源包括 Reddit、谷歌日历、Instagram、X、TikTok、Stripe、黑客新闻、天气、YouTube、Product Hunt、RSS、谷歌新闻、股票、加密货币等。内容通过人工智能从来源中汇总。每天(每周或每月)您都会收到一份时事通讯,其中包含您添加到摘要中的所有来源的更新内容。我最近还为它添加了一个时事通讯阅读器,这样你就可以获得一个用于注册所有时事通讯的电子邮件地址,然后 Digest 就会成为你的时事通讯阅读器(甚至还会向你发送所有新时事通讯的列表)。https://usedigest.com。
I made a website to alert people about inside trading and congress trading, https://tradeinsight.info (updated) 我建立了一个网站,提醒人们注意内部交易和国会交易,https://tradeinsight.info(已更新)
Not $500/month yet, but towards it, the work flow is quite simple, the infrastructure is a bit complicated, need quite amount of time to maintain. 虽然还没有达到每月 500 美元的标准,但已在逐步实现,工作流程非常简单,基础设施有点复杂,需要相当多的时间来维护。↳
Tradesinsight? Plural? Because tradesinsight is a DNS not found, but tradeinsight.info will notify me when Nancy pelosi and other Congress members trade. Tradesinsight?复数?因为 tradesinsight 是一个未找到的 DNS,但 tradeinsight.info 会在南希-佩洛西和其他国会议员进行交易时通知我。
Always make sure you get that name right. 一定要确保名字正确无误。

I made PortDroid, an Android Port Scanner and networking toolkit back in 2014 because I was learning programming and was curious to what was possible. I mainly wrote it for myself and I've done no marketing so have been quite surprised how popular it has become (~800k downloads). 我在 2014 年制作了 PortDroid,这是一款安卓端口扫描器和网络工具包,因为我当时正在学习编程,对可能发生的事情感到好奇。我主要是为自己写的,也没有做任何营销,所以对它的受欢迎程度感到非常惊讶(~80 万次下载)。
It's been a consistent passion project for me now over the years and I love getting feedback and suggestions from people using it. It'll never have ads (I hate them) and only data collection is optional crash reports. 多年来,它一直是我的激情项目,我喜欢从使用它的人那里获得反馈和建议。它永远不会有广告(我讨厌广告),唯一的数据收集是可选的碰撞报告。↳
Wow... happy to see portdroid :) Had used your app for debugging an android app that I built some 6-7 years ago 哇......很高兴看到 portdroid :)六七年前,我曾用你的应用程序调试过一个安卓应用程序。
VoiceType: Mac Dictation tool. Running locally with WhisperLarge Turbo. So its fast accurate and can get a lot of Rust Library names correctly when I use with Cursor. VoiceType:Mac 听写工具。使用 WhisperLarge Turbo 在本地运行。因此,当我使用 Cursor 时,它能快速准确地获取许多 Rust 库的名称。
Why I Built It? 我为什么要建造它?
I ended up getting RSI over the last year and half. Despite lifting 3x a week and physio-therapy, circumstances had me working >12-15hours 6-7days a week for a few months straight. I’d read about folks using diction but never worked well for me or was pricey software. 在过去的一年半里,我患上了 RSI。尽管我每周做 3 次举重和理疗,但连续几个月每周 6-7 天的工作时间都超过了 12-15 小时。我读到过一些人使用 Diction,但对我来说效果不佳,而且软件价格昂贵。↳
At the same time I started using ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor etc quite a bit. When the Whisper Large turbo model was released by OpenAI, I tried transcribing some technical terms and it got transcribed quite well. ( still makes errors, but its within tolerance of what ChatGPT et.all can understand). I mostly talk type to my Mac now. 与此同时,我开始大量使用 ChatGPT、Claude、Cursor 等。当 OpenAI 发布 Whisper Large turbo 模型时,我试着转录一些专业术语,结果转录得相当不错。(虽然还是会出错,但都在 ChatGPT 等人能理解的范围内)。现在我主要是对着 Mac打字。↳
I had similar RSI issues a couple years ago and explored text to speech as an option, but the solutions at the time were clunky and inaccurate. I gave up and went with more practical solutions (yoga, working less, using a split keyboard). I’m sure with the recent developments in LLMs and speech models the situation is much different now. I’ll have to check this out 几年前,我也遇到过类似的 RSI 问题,我曾将文本转语音作为一种选择,但当时的解决方案既笨拙又不准确。我放弃了,转而使用更实用的解决方案(瑜伽、减少工作、使用分体键盘)。我相信,随着 LLMs 和语音模型的最新发展,现在的情况会大不一样。我得看看这个
I've been running a Japanese green tea-of-the-month club on the side, with a friend and a (very part-time) employee in Japan [1]. It's bringing about $2000/month gross, and slightly under $500/month net. 我和一位朋友以及一位在日本的雇员(非常兼职)一起经营着一家日本绿茶月度俱乐部[1]。每月毛收入约 2000 美元,净收入略低于 500 美元。
I've built a SMS to Slack which enables two-way SMS messaging from your Slack channels. 我创建了 SMS to Slack,它能从你的 Slack 频道发送双向短信。
I had an annoying use case where when trying to login to a shared work account, the 2FA code was being sent to a colleague's phone number. Now being able to receive that code in Slack solved the problem. 我有一个恼人的使用案例,在尝试登录共享工作账户时,2FA 验证码会被发送到同事的电话号码上。现在能在 Slack 中接收该代码,问题就迎刃而解了。↳
Customers now use it for their own customer support. End users really like SMS as a messaging platform, nobody wants to send an email or talk to a chatbot. 客户现在将其用于自己的客户支持。最终用户非常喜欢将 SMS 作为信息平台,没有人愿意发送电子邮件或与聊天机器人对话。↳
It uses Elixir, Fly, GCP, Stripe, and a couple carriers. 它使用 Elixir、Fly、GCP、Stripe 和一些载体。
In Brazil WhatsApp for Business completely ate this space. SMS is dying (granted, a very slow death) so milk it while you can :) 在巴西,WhatsApp for Business 完全占领了这一领域。短信正在消亡(当然,是非常缓慢的消亡),所以要趁早利用它:)
I created a site (https://zwemindex.nl) with all the pools and open water places in The Netherlands (it's in Dutch). It started off with the idea that I wanted to do a places search but without Google Places. I learned about GIS, build a lookup array with placenames, slugs and latlon. Just simple PHP and autocomplete.js. 我创建了一个网站(https://zwemindex.nl),收录了荷兰所有的游泳池和开放水域(荷兰语)。一开始我的想法是,我想在没有谷歌地点的情况下进行地点搜索。我学习了地理信息系统(GIS),建立了一个包含地名、slugs 和 latlon 的查找数组。只需简单的 PHP 和 autocomplete.js。
I started out with some Open Data from the Dutch governent on all open water swimpots. I thought the current site (still is) not user-friendly on mobile. I also added all the public pools. 一开始,我从荷兰政府获得了一些关于所有开放水域游泳点的开放数据。我认为目前的网站(现在也是)在移动设备上对用户不友好。我还添加了所有公共泳池。
I got some traction because I got interviewed as an example project and I reached out to news sites. 我得到了一些牵引力,因为我作为一个范例项目接受了采访,并与新闻网站取得了联系。
Actually my backend is a Google sheet, which I sync to MongoDB (works nice with geo). Did a write up on that: https://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/web/import-csv-in-mongo... 实际上,我的后台是一个 Google 表单,我将其同步到 MongoDB(与地理信息一起使用效果很好)。我写过一篇文章:https://www.kasperkamperman.com/blog/web/import-csv-in-mongo...
Rest is all vanilla PHP, cached to HTML, Bulma css. Running on shared hosting, with Cloudflare cache in front. 其余部分均为普通 PHP,缓存为 HTML 和 Bulma css。在共享主机上运行,前面有 Cloudflare 缓存。
I really worked on accessibility too, allowing keyboard navigation (press TAB) and making sure everything is readable and with good contrast (Bulma 2.0 fixed that). 我也在无障碍方面下了很大功夫,允许键盘导航(按 TAB 键),并确保所有内容都清晰可读、对比度良好(Bulma 2.0 解决了这一问题)。
I make about $500 with some affiliate links (waterparks with hotels, wellness) which really fit with the search intent of the user. The last thing I want is stuffing the site full with Google ads. 我通过一些真正符合用户搜索意图的联盟链接(水上乐园、酒店、保健)赚了大约 500 美元。我最不希望的就是在网站上塞满谷歌广告。↳
My wife built https://www.jummbo.ai but she doesn't have an HN account so I'll share for her. 我妻子创建了 https://www.jummbo.ai,但她没有 HN 账户,所以我帮她分享一下。
Jummbo takes the "umm" out of prospecting in B2B sales. Jummbo 让 B2B 销售中的潜在客户不再 "嗯 "了。
It makes it really quick to find and prospect new customers, as it googles them, researches them, and writes custom emails and call scripts that are highly targeted to each of them. 它能快速找到新客户并对其进行挖掘,因为它能通过谷歌搜索新客户,对其进行研究,并为每个客户编写针对性极强的定制电子邮件和呼叫脚本。
The app is in the $hundreds per month, getting a lot of interest in a niche vertical which is quite promising so a lot of extra features will be added in the new year. 该应用的月收入在数百美元左右,在利基垂直领域获得了很大的关注,前景相当可观,因此在新的一年里将会增加很多额外的功能。
We're always up for feedback on how to make it better so if you set up a trial don't be shy with any suggestions you might have :) 我们随时欢迎您就如何使其更好提出反馈意见,因此,如果您设置了试用,请不要吝啬您的任何建议:)↳
I made https://konfig.xyz/ after making about 6500 images for a product configurator. Instead of using images, we use 3d models. Initially quite simple and for use with relatively flat scenes (ie - no tree like structure for options / scenes) but grown over time to sort of support those too. 在为一个产品配置器制作了大约 6500 张图片之后,我制作了 https://konfig.xyz/。我们不使用图片,而是使用 3D 模型。起初非常简单,用于相对平面的场景(即选项/场景没有树状结构),但随着时间的推移也逐渐支持这些场景。
The main use case are fixed-in-size products that can be customize-able. So colours and materials, but also swapping one object for another, or turning one on or off (imagine rims on a car, or a bow thruster on a boat). 主要用途是可定制的固定尺寸产品。例如颜色和材料,还可以将一个物体换成另一个物体,或者打开或关闭一个物体(想象一下汽车的轮辋,或者船上的船首推进器)。
We tried saas’in it completely, but the onboarding is proving to be quite hands-on. So we’ve partnered with a 3d firm that does the 3d work so we can focus ok building software 我们尝试过完全采用 saas,但事实证明入职培训需要大量的实践。因此,我们与一家 3d 公司合作,由该公司负责 3d 工作,这样我们就可以专注于构建软件了。
We so have pricing https://konfig.xyz/pricing (perhaps I need to make it more visible).
There is some upfront cost in the modeling, but we don’t really make / want to make money there. So everything essentially goes to the 3d party. We’ve partnered with a great company in the Ukraine but you can always also do it yourself 我们有定价 https://konfig.xyz/pricing(也许我需要让它更明显一些)。建模有一些前期成本,但我们并不真正赚钱或想赚钱。因此,一切基本上都归 3d 方所有。我们与乌克兰的一家很棒的公司合作,但您也可以自己做。
We have some basic docs at docs.konfig.xyz - which need some love, but happy to help anyone get up and running :) 我们在 docs.konfig.xyz 网站上提供了一些基本文档--这些文档还需要改进,但我们很乐意帮助任何人启动和运行这些文档:)
Ballpark is around 2k for the boat ones - give we have some cad models to work with. Depending on the complexity of the scene and options we usually have something online within a month after signing off 船的大致价格在 2k 左右,因为我们有一些 cad 模型可以使用。根据场景和选项的复杂程度,我们通常会在签约后的一个月内上线。
Tunnelmole - https://tunnelmole.com/. This is an open source tunneling tool in the same category as ngrok. I have turned this into an actual company, it's just a one person one for now. Tunnelmole - https://tunnelmole.com/。这是一款开源隧道工具,与 ngrok 属于同一类别。我已经把它变成了一家真正的公司,目前只是一个人的公司。
While it is open source, I am trying to build a sustainable business around it. It is bootstrapped and there is no VC funding as of yet. 虽然它是开源的,但我正试图围绕它建立一个可持续的业务。目前还没有风险投资资金。↳
Currently there are several thousand monthly users and just enough paid subscriptions to be making ~$500 (AUD) per month. Promoting it so far has not been too difficult with different strategies, but the conversion rate is quite low, so i'm planning to start doing some data science type analytics to find ways to optimise that. 目前,该网站每月有数千名用户,付费订阅人数刚好够每月赚取约 500 美元(澳元)。到目前为止,使用不同的策略进行推广并不困难,但转换率相当低,因此我打算开始进行一些数据科学类型的分析,以找到优化转换率的方法。
I'm making a fiction podcast (that actually launched on HN) that is now earning ~$1100 USD monthly. I just wrote the latest report documenting how I got there, which you can find and discuss at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42380474 我正在制作一个小说播客(实际上是在 HN 上推出的),现在每月收入约为 1100 美元。我刚刚写了一份最新报告,记录了我是如何做到这一点的,您可以在 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42380474 上找到这份报告并进行讨论。
wait you just talk about fiction? do you interview writers? i'm trying to understand how you built that audience, i've seen a lot of podcasts about fiction struggle to break past like 1k streams 我想知道你是如何建立起这些听众群的,我看到很多关于小说的播客都很难突破 1k 的播放量。
No, it's an audio drama in a podcast format. Think radio dramas of the old but made for modern audiences! Here, hopefully https://programaudioseries.com/ paints a better picture. 不,这是一部播客形式的音频剧。想想以前的广播剧,但却是为现代观众制作的!在这里,希望 https://programaudioseries.com/ 能给您带来更好的印象。
I built https://vpzen.io - dedicated VPN servers that are pay as you go. 79c per day and 10c per Gb. Great if you only need a VPN occasionally. Plus there's no VPN client to download... it works with the native VPN client on Windows, iOS, macOS and Android. 我创建了 https://vpzen.io - 即用即付的专用 VPN 服务器。每天 79 美分,每 Gb 10 美分。如果你只是偶尔需要 VPN,那就太好了。而且无需下载 VPN 客户端......它可以与 Windows、iOS、macOS 和 Android 上的本地 VPN 客户端配合使用。
Building https://canine.sh, which is a platform to make any Kubernetes cluster as easy to use as Heroku for deploying web apps, cron jobs, etc. 构建 https://canine.sh,这是一个让任何 Kubernetes 集群都能像 Heroku 一样方便使用的平台,用于部署网络应用程序和 cron 作业等。
The >$500 is basically by offering it for free to everyone and having support to 3 small corporate customers. 大于 500 美元的费用基本上是免费提供给所有人,并为 3 家小型企业客户提供支持。
I found this is a really great way to get feedback and bootstrap the roadmap of a project. Little usability / quality of life features, that I never would've worked on myself, turned out to be sizable pain points for others. 我发现这是一个获得反馈和引导项目路线图的好方法。一些小小的可用性/生活质量功能,我自己根本不会去做,结果却成了别人的一大痛点。
And since they're paying at least something for it, the few beta customers are a lot more committed to making the thing work. 而且,由于他们至少要为此支付一些费用,少数测试版用户就会更加致力于让产品发挥作用。
I've finally made it to the $500/month mark! I built https://wolftickets.ai , it is a collection of AI predictions for upcoming UFC fights. The predictions for the future events are private but all past results are public. 我的月收入终于突破了 500 美元大关!我创建了 https://wolftickets.ai,它是一个针对即将到来的终极格斗锦标赛的人工智能预测集合。对未来赛事的预测是保密的,但所有过去的结果都是公开的。
I get to keep iterating on new models, new approaches for using gen-ai tech to write better analysis of fights and fighters, along with exploring stats and tendencies that matter. 我将不断迭代新的模型、新的方法,利用 gen-ai 技术更好地分析比赛和选手,同时探索重要的统计数据和趋势。
This project isn't yet allowing me to retire but I'm passionate about the AIML space and combat sports, I get to explore whatever ideas I find interesting, and get a ton of feedback and ideas from members without having to do advertising. 这个项目还不能让我退休,但我对 AIML 空间和搏击运动充满热情,我可以探索任何我觉得有趣的想法,并从会员那里获得大量反馈和想法,而无需做广告。↳
I made dividend tracking website. I am a backend engineer, so the UI is simple bootstrap and I focus on having data I find valuable.
I've been working on it since I finished University, so it's like 7 years, and current MRR at $740 isn't great, but at least I don't have to pay for hosting (and financial data sources are expensive).
I believe that spare money should be invested in stocks, so I like that I work on something I use, and will be using in the following decades.
The website is DIGRIN.com (DIvidend GRowth INvesting), good value for free users as well IMHO. 我制作了分红跟踪网站。我是一名后端工程师,所以用户界面是简单的引导式设计,我专注于提供我认为有价值的数据。我从大学毕业后就一直在做这个网站,所以差不多有 7 年了,目前的 MRR 为 740 美元,不算很高,但至少我不用支付托管费(金融数据源很贵)。我认为闲钱应该投资股票,所以我喜欢我工作的东西,我使用的东西,并且在未来几十年内还会使用。这个网站是 DIGRIN.com(DIvidend GRowth INvesting),在我看来对免费用户也很有价值。
Created a simple and cute iOS app for tracking baby teeth — makes about 1-2k EUR (after Apple’s cut) per month since five years. 创建了一个简单可爱的 iOS 应用程序,用于跟踪婴儿的牙齿--五年来每月收入约 1-2 千欧元(扣除苹果公司的分成)。
getbabyteeth.app
Last year a couple of copy cats showed up, but they missed the part that people actually value in the app: the visuals. 去年,有几只抄袭者出现了,但他们忽略了人们在应用程序中真正重视的部分:视觉效果。
It‘s a simple webapp, wrapped in Expo, but highly polished to make it look and feel native to iOS. 它是一个简单的网络应用程序,采用 Expo 封装,但经过精心打磨,使其在外观和感觉上都与 iOS 完全一致。
Last year we added a second app, written in Swift and SwiftUI (great dev experience!): wobblyteeth.app 去年,我们添加了第二个应用程序,使用 Swift 和 SwiftUI 编写(非常棒的开发体验!):wobblyteeth.app
What still makes me wonder: most sales are made in Germany, even though there is an English translation and the American market is huge. \o/ 让我感到疑惑的是:虽然有英文译本,而且美国市场巨大,但大部分销售都是在德国进行的。\o/
Do you have an idea why it‘s not interesting abroad? 你知道为什么在国外没有兴趣吗?
> Do you have an idea why it‘s not interesting abroad? > 你知道为什么国外对它不感兴趣吗?
Is keeping kid’s baby teeth considered normal behavior in Germany? It’s considered a bit bizarre in US. I have a 6 year old and very much in this market but simply have zero interest in the entire premise of logging and keeping this info and the teeth themselves. The tooth fairy is our main tradition and I think most people are happy to dispose of the biohazard waste that’s collected 保留孩子的乳牙在德国算正常行为吗?在美国这被认为是有点怪异。我有一个 6 岁的孩子,对这个市场非常感兴趣,但对记录和保存这些信息以及牙齿本身的整个前提毫无兴趣。牙仙是我们的主要传统,我想大多数人都乐于处理收集到的生物垃圾。
Maybe. The first line of the site says “Keep hold of your babies' first teeth.” Which to me sounds like storing them somewhere physically. Maybe the problem is how it’s worded? 也许吧网站的第一行写着 "保管好宝宝的第一颗牙齿"。在我看来,这听起来像是要把它们存放在某个地方。也许问题出在措辞上?
I just about qualify! My first side project that actually delivered anything: Reminder Sync for Obsidian! https://turquoisehexagon.co.uk/remindersync/ 我差不多符合条件!我第一个有实际成果的副业项目:黑曜石的提醒同步! https://turquoisehexagon.co.uk/remindersync/
I built it for myself after I began using Obsidian for day to day note making. A simple idea: get reminders for tasks you create in Obsidian. People seem to like it. 在我开始使用 Obsidian 做日常笔记后,我为自己创建了它。想法很简单:为你在 Obsidian 中创建的任务获取提醒。人们似乎很喜欢它。
I'm making a physical product with my wife: an illustrated narrative puzzle magazine. It's similar to escape games, but it's more story driven and easy to do in short sessions and at your own pace.
It started with my wife making the first magazine pretty much by herself. Since then we've made more magazines together and the business is slowly growing. 我和妻子正在制作一个实体产品:一本图文并茂的叙事谜题杂志。它类似于逃生游戏,但故事性更强,而且很容易按照自己的节奏在短时间内完成。一开始,我妻子几乎是一个人制作了第一本杂志。从那以后,我们一起制作了更多的杂志,业务也在慢慢增长。
We're selling them mainly on our custom lightweight online store. It's done with minimal JS and Node as backend, Stripe as payment provider. We have a Meta pixel to help us track our advertising conversion, but we've disabled cookies, they just felt somehow dirty... It's nice to have power over these things when running your own business. As a next step for the website I'm thinking of including a templating language in the workflow, now I'm still doing edits with search and replace, sometimes missing things... but I do enjoy the simplicity. 我们主要通过定制的轻量级在线商店销售这些产品。它使用最少的 JS 和 Node 作为后台,Stripe 作为支付提供商。我们有一个 Meta 像素来帮助我们跟踪广告转换,但我们已经禁用了 Cookie,因为它们总让人觉得不干净......在经营自己的业务时,能对这些东西拥有控制权是件好事。作为网站的下一步,我正在考虑在工作流程中加入模板语言,现在我仍在使用搜索和替换进行编辑,有时会漏掉一些东西......但我确实喜欢这种简单的方式。
The actual business has two main challenges:
First is discoverability. It's a pretty unique product, an adventure escape game in a magazine. It doesn't sell well in physical game shops since it doesn't look like a game. We sell well in conventions where we get to explain what the product is, but we also want some weekends for ourselves! Meta ads for our online shop are working surprisingly well though. 实际业务面临两大挑战:首先是可发现性。这是一款非常独特的产品,是杂志中的冒险逃脱游戏。它在实体游戏店里卖得不好,因为它看起来不像游戏。我们在会展上卖得很好,因为我们可以在会展上解释产品是什么,但我们也希望自己也能有一些周末!不过,我们网店的 Meta 广告效果出奇地好。
The second and bigger challenge is shipping. Our flat is filled with boxes, and the time I spend sorting magazines, enveloping them, printing address labels, carrying them to the post office... it's really not worth my hourly rate as an engineer (Nor my wife's, but I do it since my schedule is more flexible, and I've automated some parts of the process with a string of incredibly user hostile shell scripts). And the shipping costs are downputting to many, we're quite cornered here in Finland. We are slowly gaining some distribution partners in Europe, but we should also be looking into better shipping options, like perhaps some kind of shipping warehouse exist? Our volume is slowly getting big enough so that it might be feasible. I've only done some cursory googling on this but don't exactly know what I'm even looking for, and there's only so many hours in a day. 第二个也是更大的挑战是运输。我们的公寓里堆满了纸箱,而我花在整理杂志、装信封、打印地址标签、把它们搬到邮局上的时间......真的不值得我作为工程师的时薪(也不值得我妻子的时薪,但我还是做了,因为我的日程安排更灵活,而且我已经用一串用户友好度极高的 shell 脚本实现了部分流程的自动化)。运输成本也让很多人望而却步,我们在芬兰已经走投无路了。我们正慢慢在欧洲获得一些分销合作伙伴,但我们也应该考虑更好的运输方案,比如可能存在某种运输仓库?我们的销量正在慢慢变大,所以这也许是可行的。我只是在谷歌上粗略地搜索了一下,但并不清楚自己在寻找什么,而且一天也就那么几个小时。↳
A lot of work, small margins (ads+printing+misc takes a big slice), but around $500 profit per month. Feels absolutely fantastic to have an actual concrete business we own! 工作量大,利润小(广告+印刷+杂费占了很大一部分),但每月利润在 500 美元左右。能拥有自己的具体业务,感觉真是太棒了!↳
Just bought a set for my kids who are currently obsessed with escape games and puzzles in general. Looks like a huge win for long car rides/airplane trips! 刚给我的孩子们买了一套,他们现在非常迷恋逃脱游戏和拼图。对于长途乘车/乘飞机旅行来说,这看起来是个大赢家!
Dude this looks awesome! When I was a kid I used to read a lot of these "puzzle magazines", the ones we had were like: 老兄,这看起来真棒!我小时候经常看这种 "拼图杂志",我们那时候的杂志就像:
- Start on page 1, read the story and decide if you want to take path A or B - 从第 1 页开始,阅读故事,然后决定走 A 还是 B 路↳
- A = go to page 2, B = page 3 - A = 转到第 2 页,B = 第 3 页
- then there was another decision making, and the story goes on... - 然后是另一个决策,故事还在继续
Until you either escape the dungeon, or die (different ways of dying lol). 直到你要么逃出地牢,要么死亡(死亡的方式各不相同,笑)。
Those were called "choose your own adventure" books. 那些书叫做 "选择你自己的冒险"。
On an early version of my personal website, I created one of these, but as the reader, you could reach an unwritten section. Your reward was that you got to write that page of the book, and the choices (or ending) that the character received. 在我个人网站的早期版本中,我创建了一个这样的网站,但作为读者,你可以进入一个未写的部分。你的奖励是,你可以书写书中的那一页,以及人物的选择(或结局)。↳
I seeded a few pages to set a story, and then let the readers go wild. It was pretty fun. 我先用几页纸铺垫故事,然后让读者尽情发挥。这很有趣。↳
Thank you!
That's the sort of game that springs to mind for many when we explain the concept, and they were definitely an inspiration for us. This however is a more linear adventure, focused around solving enigmas. No choices and no way to lose. Once you know the answer to the puzzle, like "whose fingerprints are on the gun", you turn the next page and the story continues. 谢谢!当我们解释这个概念时,很多人都会想到这类游戏,它们绝对是我们的灵感来源。然而,这款游戏是一款更线性的冒险游戏,重点是解开谜团。没有选择,也不会失败。一旦你知道了谜题的答案,比如 "枪上的指纹是谁的",你就可以翻开下一页,故事继续。

I'm from Mississippi and know some small farmers but none of the big sweet potato producers. "Mississippi Sweet Potatoes" coming from the "Sweet Potato Capital of the World" has always been a strong branding in my head growing up, just being near the influence of that. It's not hard to get their wholesale but I wanted to have some orders before finding a partner. 我来自密西西比州,认识一些小农场主,但不认识红薯大生产商。密西西比红薯 "来自 "世界红薯之都",在我的成长过程中,"密西西比红薯 "一直是我脑海中的一个强烈烙印,我就是在这种影响下长大的。获得他们的批发并不难,但我想在找到合作伙伴之前先有一些订单。
I have read of other people getting customers/orders before actually having the product in place. 我看到过其他人在产品真正到位之前就获得了客户/订单。
But my doomsday mind has a hard time shaking what happens if you can't follow through? Is it as simple as refunding the money? 但我的末日之心却很难动摇,如果你不能坚持到底,会发生什么?是退钱那么简单吗?
A simple, stupid question with probably a single answer but that is where my mind goes when I hear people doing things this way. 这是个简单而愚蠢的问题,可能只有一个答案,但当我听到人们这样做时,我就会想到这个问题。
Just fyi I tried clicking the link, and my work laptop flagged it as "malware". I'm not sure why, but thought I would let you know 仅供参考,我试着点击了这个链接,但我工作用的笔记本电脑将其标记为 "恶意软件"。我不知道为什么,但觉得应该让你知道
Yeah, mine was via a corporate policy. God knows how it decides such things, but it's not a message I've ever seen before, so there could be something wrong with the site that other security software might flag 是的,我是通过公司政策收到的。天知道它是怎么决定这种事情的,但这不是我以前见过的信息,所以可能是网站出了什么问题,其他安全软件可能会标记出来
BrainDump: Apple Notes + VoiceMemos + ChatGpt in 1. BrainDump:Apple Notes + VoiceMemos + ChatGpt 合而为一。
What is it?
- Apple Eco-system based voice note taking/journal.
- Tried various note taking apps. Nothing stuck like Apple Notes.
- Writing by hand was the best way to get clarity but seemed high friction. Talking about ideas with friends/colleagues was the second best to thought clarity.
- Basically combined it. Voice -> Transcribe (whisper accuracy locally) -> Rewrite with COT LLMs.
- Helped me maintain journal now ( life events, ideas, anxiety days etc ). Added some prompts to help me. ( researched what experts in the field recommend; as an example - How do I start? And what do i say if i want to gratitude journal ). 它是什么?- 基于苹果生态系统的语音笔记/日志。- 尝试过各种笔记应用程序。没有一款能像苹果笔记一样让人爱不释手。- 手写是获得清晰思路的最佳方式,但似乎摩擦很大。与朋友/同事讨论想法是让思路清晰的第二好方法。- 基本上结合起来。语音 -> 转录(本地低声精确) -> 使用 COT LLMs 重写。- 帮助我坚持写日记(生活事件、想法、焦虑日等)。添加了一些提示来帮助我。(研究了该领域专家的建议;例如--我该如何开始?如果我想写感恩日记,我该怎么说)。
Since launch, more than 50% end up using it for meeting notes. 自推出以来,50% 以上的人最终将其用于会议记录。
A lot of folks use it for this. But its not very straightforward like the tools that join calls and listen in. 很多人都用它来做这个。但它不像加入通话和监听的工具那样非常直接。
It only transcribes what it can listen to. So if you are on a zoom call on your computer it can listen to both the audio from the PC and you speaking and transcribe. 它只能转录它能听到的内容。因此,如果您在电脑上进行缩放通话,它就可以同时监听电脑和您说话的音频并进行转录。
Ive been looking into tapping in directly to both the audio out and mic in on apple devices. Im making progress but its not stable yet. Hoping to get it done during the holidays. 我一直在研究如何直接接入苹果设备上的音频输出和麦克风输入。我正在取得进展,但还不稳定。希望能在假期完成。
I built a Google Sheets Add-on that imports bank transactions via Plaid into Google Sheets. 我制作了一个 Google Sheets 附加组件,可以通过 Plaid 将银行交易导入 Google Sheets。
It formats transactions, auto-categorizes them, has custom category rules, and can automate data imports nightly. 它可以格式化交易、自动分类、自定义分类规则,还可以每晚自动导入数据。
It's called BudgetSheet ( https://www.budgetsheet.com ) and has been my side hustle for almost 5 years now. 它叫 BudgetSheet ( https://www.budgetsheet.com ),是我的副业,至今已有近 5 年时间。
Revenue is just over $5,000/month. Growing well. Targeting $9k MRR for 2025. Expenses are high because Plaid is expensive (last invoice was over $1,600), but still good margins and will get better with scale. 月收入略高于 5000 美元。发展势头良好。目标是在 2025 年实现 9000 美元的 MRR。支出较高,因为 Plaid 价格昂贵(上一张发票超过 1600 美元),但利润率仍然不错,随着规模扩大,利润率会越来越高。
It's good software and I've put a lot into it, but the user experience really just comes down to how well Plaid supports your bank. Folks with really well supported banks love it, and folks with banks not well supported by Plaid tend to churn quickly. 这是个好软件,我在其中投入了很多,但用户体验实际上取决于 Plaid 对银行的支持程度。那些银行支持良好的用户非常喜欢它,而那些银行不支持 Plaid 的用户往往很快就会流失。
Less than 10% of my projects ever made anything. Check out indiehackers.com - tons of old posts of people starting things, but the domain is dead when you click through. 在我的项目中,只有不到 10%的项目有所成就。看看 indiehackers.com--有大量人们创业的旧文章,但点击进入时域名已死。

I have an Etsy product, Christmas tree ornament, has made about $600 gross last year and another $400 or so this year… 我在 Etsy 上有一款圣诞树装饰品,去年赚了大约 600 美元,今年又赚了 400 多美元......
It’s not much but now I have an Etsy shop with 5 start reviews all across. Planning to make a few more non-seasonal products and see where I can take it. 虽然不多,但现在我的 Etsy 商店已经有了 5 条开始评论。我打算再做一些非季节性的产品,看看能做到什么程度。
But, I also have a graveyard on my GitHub! 不过,我的 GitHub 上也有一个 "墓地"!
I guess the stats are like 9/10 entrepreneurial projects fail… so if I try 20 things… 我猜统计数字显示,9/10 的创业项目都失败了......所以,如果我尝试 20 件事......
Makes sense. One of my projects is bound for etsy. How do you find selling there? 有道理。我的一个项目要在 etsy 上进行。你是如何在那里销售的?
I also have the distinction of publishing a halloween item on cults, but a month after halloween ended, so I am waiting 10 more months to see if theres any interest. 我也曾在万圣节期间发表过关于邪教的文章,但那是在万圣节结束一个月之后,所以我还要再等 10 个月,看看是否有人感兴趣。
I quite enjoy selling stuff n Etsy. The products and buyers there are not on a race to the bottom for the absolute cheapest thing (maybe it is so in things like shirts or mug or whatever) but instead I see the buyers as people expecting and unique thing that resonates with them. 我很喜欢在 Etsy 上卖东西。那里的产品和买家并不追求最便宜的东西(也许衬衫或马克杯之类的东西是这样),相反,在我看来,买家期待的是能引起他们共鸣的独一无二的东西。
So I think the key is unique and then using keywords, videos and Etsy ads are not bad to get some traction, even for a brand new store 因此,我认为关键在于独特性,然后使用关键字、视频和 Etsy 广告来获得一些牵引力,即使是对一个全新的商店来说也不赖。

I built Filestash (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash), an open source Dropbox like frontend for any cloud storage / protocols (S3, SFTP, FTP, SMB, NFS, etc...). This was made as a reflection of the Dropbox launch top comment with the infamous FTP guy as I was wondering what was missing from the FTP specs to be able to make a great interface to a protocol like FTP. 我创建了 Filestash ( https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash),这是一个类似 Dropbox 的开源前端,可用于任何云存储/协议(S3、SFTP、FTP、SMB、NFS 等)。我想知道 FTP 规范中缺少了什么,才能为 FTP 这样的协议提供出色的界面。
The money come from customisation and enterprise plugins (SSO, audit plugins, etc..). The entire product was made so you can quickly build custom file management solution by assembling a bunch of lego blocks (aka plugins) 资金来自定制和企业插件(SSO、审计插件等)。整个产品的设计初衷是让你可以通过组装一堆乐高积木(又称插件)来快速构建自定义文件管理解决方案。
I buy & sell pixels (hats) in a video-game - Team Fortress 2. 我在电子游戏《团队要塞 2》中买卖像素(帽子)。

What does your dealflow look like? Do you usually trade smaller unusuals into larger ones or are you just flipping big-money unusuals? How do you get the deals? 您的交易流程是怎样的?您通常是将较小的异常交易转化为较大的异常交易,还是只做大额异常交易?您是如何获得交易的?
Some CS, but TF2 is my main focus. Items are less liquid and the cash trading scene isn't as established. For example, my average margin on TF2 items is 6x higher than CS (~25% vs. ~4-5%). I'm able to buy for less & sell for more than I could in CS. 有些 CS,但 TF2 是我的主要关注点。物品的流动性较差,现金交易场景也没有那么成熟。例如,我在 TF2 项目上的平均保证金是 CS 的 6 倍(~25% 对 ~4-5%)。与 CS 相比,我能够以更低的价格买入,以更高的价格卖出。
Knowledge about the game isn't necessary at all - it's just the market itself. Understanding what people are interested in, what items can sell at, how long they take, etc. 对游戏的了解根本不是必要的,关键是市场本身。了解人们对什么感兴趣,什么物品能卖到什么价格,需要多长时间等等。
The market is incredibly small & illiquid - the main alpha comes from: 市场规模小得令人难以置信,流动性也很差,阿尔法主要来自于此:
- a better knowledge & understanding of the market. What items are desirable? What will take a long time? How do you price them? etc. - 更好地认识和了解市场。哪些商品受欢迎?哪些需要很长时间?如何定价?
- trust/reputation, which takes form through cash trading (directly buying items from people at a discount). - 信任/声誉,其形式是现金交易(直接以折扣价向他人购买物品)。
I also have a few automated trading bots & scripts that save time on buying items, but that's easily replicable. 我还有一些自动交易机器人和脚本,可以节省购买物品的时间,但这很容易复制。

I was laid off at the start of 2024 and built https://interviewsolver.com which is an AI copilot for helping you with your leetcode interviews. Doing about 6k/month, though the space is becoming fairly crowded. 我在 2024 年初被裁员,并创建了 https://interviewsolver.com,这是一款人工智能副驾驶软件,可以帮助你完成 leetcode 面试。月收入约为 6000 美元,不过这个领域已经变得相当拥挤。
This is functionally identical to having someone off-screen feeding you the answers. 这在功能上与让屏幕外的人告诉你答案是一样的。
Things like this will only make the interview process worse for applicants with even a shred of integrity. We need a "black book" for unethical developers. 像这样的事情只会让面试过程变得更糟糕,甚至让那些有一丝诚信的申请者也无法接受。我们需要一本针对不道德开发人员的 "黑名单"。
Eh, I fed our whole question bank to ChatGPT a while back, and it solves the leetcode-like problems better than any real candidates have. Maybe it's time we stopped interviewing people this way... 不久前,我把我们的整个题库都交给了 ChatGPT,它比任何真正的候选人都能更好地解决类似 Leetcode 的问题。也许是时候停止这样的面试了......
Wow, incredible. I recently interviewed (as hiring manager) for 3 separate positions of varying seniority. Cheating is rampant now. I'd say at least 80% were using ChatGPT to lookup answers. One candidate had a 3rd party operate ChatGPT for her. 哇,不可思议。我最近(作为招聘经理)面试了 3 个不同资历的职位。现在作弊现象很猖獗。我敢说至少有 80% 的人在使用 ChatGPT 来查找答案。一位应聘者让第三方帮她操作 ChatGPT。
Yes, the nice thing about it being a desktop app is that all interview platforms are supported - browsers are unable to detect these desktop apps due to inherent limitations. There's a bunch of competing services so it's likely your candidates were running something. 是的,作为一款桌面应用程序,它的好处是可以支持所有面试平台--由于固有的限制,浏览器无法检测到这些桌面应用程序。现在有很多相互竞争的服务,所以你的候选人很可能也在运行某些服务。

Nothing splashy or exciting really, but it gives me motivation to keep trying things. 虽然没有什么惊天动地的大事,但它给了我继续尝试的动力。

How does the development process feel like? 开发过程是怎样的?
I did some work for a client who wanted to build an app for it. After that I ended up building a few apps just for fun, and once they started bringing in some ad money, I just ended up building more. 我为一个客户做了一些工作,他希望我为其开发一个应用程序。之后,我就为了好玩制作了几个应用程序,一旦它们开始带来广告收入,我就会制作更多的应用程序。
I think their ecosystem is still small enough that good apps do well, whereas with iOS/Android you really have to build super polished apps and market them to thrive. 我认为,他们的生态系统仍然足够小,好的应用程序可以做得很好,而在 iOS/Android 系统中,你真的必须打造超级精良的应用程序,并将它们推向市场,才能茁壮成长。
KaiOS is just HTML/JavaScript, I ended up using Vue and building my own component library that I could re-use in every app. KaiOS 只是 HTML/JavaScript,我最终使用了 Vue 并创建了自己的组件库,可以在每个应用程序中重复使用。

People consult me for doing performace mods, parts sourcing. The sports bike scene is emerging in my country. 人们向我咨询性能改装、零部件采购等问题。在我国,运动型自行车正在兴起。
I'm planning to build a dyno from scratch, if it's a success. I'm hoping to recoup the cost from proving it as a service. 如果成功的话,我打算从头开始制造一台测功机。我希望通过提供服务来收回成本。
I founded [Marin Labs](https://www.marinlabs.io), a studio where I get to develop whatever comes to mind. Last Friday, I launched a mobile game on iOS and Android, it's a popular trivia game but tropicalized for Latin America. I'm currently sitting on a juicy $14.00 MRR. Gotta start somewhere, I guess. 我成立了 [Marin Labs]( https://www.marinlabs.io) 工作室,在这里我可以开发任何想到的东西。上周五,我在 iOS 和安卓平台上推出了一款手机游戏,这是一款很受欢迎的琐事游戏,但针对拉丁美洲进行了热带化处理。目前,我的 MRR 为 14.00 美元。总得有个开始吧。
We launched a Markdown resume builder called ResumeyPro (https://resumey.pro/) as a side project in 2020. It has been consistently generating revenue with barely any active marketing from our side. Most of the revenue is via organic search. 我们在 2020 年推出了一个名为 ResumeyPro ( https://resumey.pro/) 的 Markdown 简历生成器,作为一个副业项目。在我们几乎没有进行任何主动营销的情况下,它一直在持续创收。大部分收入来自有机搜索。
Running https://minute-master.com as a side project, landed a couple of clients this year and a good pipeline of new clients for next year. 将 https://minute-master.com 作为一个副业来经营,今年获得了几个客户,明年还将有一批新客户。
It's a board governance and minutes generation tool for fund administrators, trust companies etc. The types of firms that need to have regular meetings with directors and need those minutes formally captured. 这是一款针对基金管理公司、信托公司等的董事会治理和会议记录生成工具。这些公司需要与董事定期举行会议,并需要正式记录会议记录。
But isn't there co-pilot for that? Yes, but no. Copilot can summarize a meeting - this is more regulatory orientated. So the agenda is set out, participants sent a pack before the meeting, and then minutes generated almost in real time to draft level of 80% accuracy. Ultimately means the process for managing and minuting a meeting is reduced from hours to minutes. 但不是有副驾驶吗?有,但没有。Copilot 可以对会议进行总结--这更偏重于监管。因此,会议议程已经列出,与会者在会前收到了一个文件包,然后会议记录几乎实时生成,准确率达到 80%。最终,管理和记录会议的流程将从数小时缩短到几分钟。↳
If we carry on doing well I suspect this will become more than a side project in 2025... 如果我们继续保持良好的发展势头,我想 2025 年这将不仅仅是一个副业项目
It would be great if these questions also included a sub-question on distribution strategy, that's one of the hardest things to visualize as a developer from $0 to $500. 如果这些问题中也有一个关于分销策略的小问题,那就更好了,因为作为开发人员,从 0 美元到 500 美元的过程是最难想象的。
I've built a custom planner/calendar generator targeting e-ink tablets like the reMarkable, Supernote, and Kindle Scribe. Revenue is highly seasonal, but now consistently over the $500/mo threshold :) 我建立了一个自定义计划表/日历生成器,主要针对 reMarkable、Supernote 和 Kindle Scribe 等电子墨水平板电脑。收入具有很强的季节性,但现在一直保持在每月 500 美元以上:)
FWIW it took at least 30 seconds for the images to show up, first I thought it's a collection of white papers before it populated. 另外,图片至少要花 30 秒才能显示出来,起初我还以为是白皮书集,后来才发现是图片。
Thanks for the heads up! That page is normally very fast but I can reproduce those images loading slowly. Will investigate... 感谢您的提醒!该页面的速度通常很快,但我发现这些图片的加载速度很慢。我将进行调查...
I sell bike parts on the side (https://bike-parts.cc and a few others). Plugs into my cousin’s ERP system with a middleware that I wrote. Everything is hosted at home, integration, DB on a 500mbps home internet :). 我兼职销售自行车配件(https://bike-parts.cc 和其他一些配件)。用我写的中间件插入我表弟的 ERP 系统。一切都托管在家里,集成和数据库都在 500mbps 的家庭互联网上:)。
In the first few years it only sold a couple of copies per quarter, but then Intuit decided to discontinue support for their Quicken Home Inventory programs and users got stuck. I added the ability to import that data and then the sales started doing well. It has tapered off in the past three years but I still get some months over $500 during the year. I haven't really done any marketing, as it's just a Home Inventory program I made for myself, to keep track of stuff when we were moving to a new home. 最初几年,它每个季度只卖出几份,但后来 Intuit 决定停止对其 Quicken 家庭库存程序的支持,用户就被卡住了。我增加了导入这些数据的功能,然后销售情况开始好转。在过去的三年里,销售量逐渐减少,但每年仍有几个月的销售额超过 500 美元。我没有真正做过任何营销,因为这只是我为自己制作的一个家庭清单程序,用来在我们搬到新家时记录一些东西。↳
As far as I know, Attic Manager is still the only program which can load QHI data. 据我所知,Attic Manager 仍然是唯一可以加载 QHI 数据的程序。
I have been working on Heuristica for the last 1.5 years, which pays for my rent. It is a subscription-based, AI-powered concept mapping tool that helps visualize learning and research. 在过去的一年半里,我一直在开发 Heuristica,这也是我的房租来源。这是一款基于订阅的人工智能概念图工具,有助于将学习和研究可视化。
As I started to make money, I was able to start hiring freelancers to help with certain aspects of the site, like the design, SEO, and some independent coding tasks. It is rewarding, but due to the pace of developments in the AI space, it feels like I need to improve the product constantly to remain competitive, which can get a bit burdensome. 随着我开始赚钱,我能够开始雇用自由职业者来帮助网站的某些方面,比如设计、搜索引擎优化和一些独立的编码任务。这让我很有成就感,但由于人工智能领域的发展速度,我感觉自己需要不断改进产品以保持竞争力,这可能会让我感到有些负担。
I have built a managed platform automating HTTP API testing, at https://www.skybear.net. The core basis is to run your Hurl files. Automatic report persistence, scheduled runs, and multiple files supported with hundreds of requests per "run/execution". 我在 https://www.skybear.net 上建立了一个自动化 HTTP API 测试的托管平台。其核心基础是运行您的 Hurl 文件。自动报告持久化、计划运行、支持多个文件,每次 "运行/执行 "可发出数百个请求。
Soon, I will be adding analytics, insights, and automatic test generation features. 很快,我将添加分析、洞察和自动测试生成功能。↳
I have been working for a year on it, and will keep working on it for many years to come, since I am using it myself a lot anyway. 我已经为它工作了一年,并将在未来的许多年里继续工作,因为我自己也经常使用它。↳
I started selling my own design templates and tutorials a few years back and ended up making a steady $2–3k/month from a single Medium post that ranked well on Google and some Product Hunt traction. 几年前,我开始出售自己的设计模板和教程,最终通过一篇在谷歌上排名靠前的 Medium 帖子和一些 Product Hunt 吸引,每月稳定赚取 2-3 千美元。
This led me to build https://tapflow.co on the side (been 3 years). It's a simple platform where tech pros-designers, devs, marketers, PMs— turn internal docs, templates and workflows into paid products. I kept it lean since most don't have time to build a full course. 这让我开始兼职创建 https://tapflow.co(已有 3 年时间)。这是一个简单的平台,技术专家--设计师、开发人员、营销人员、项目管理人员--可以将内部文档、模板和工作流程转化为付费产品。由于大多数人没有时间创建完整的课程,因此我对其进行了精简。↳
The core idea: many pros have valuable knowledge sitting unused-too busy, unsure of their expertise, or find it too complicated to create full courses. I built a tool to help them quickly pack and sell what they know, creating passive income. 核心理念:许多专业人士都拥有宝贵的知识,但却闲置不用--他们太忙,不确定自己的专业知识,或者觉得创建完整的课程太复杂。我创建了一个工具,帮助他们快速打包并销售他们所掌握的知识,从而创造被动收入。
Some friends and early adopters have made over $20k from their products (mainly courses). One French teacher even earned over $7k on the first day with just a promo page https://tapflow.co/p/du-b2-au-c1-4ebMhTxqJi 一些朋友和早期用户已经从他们的产品(主要是课程)中赚取了 2 万多美元。一位法语教师甚至仅靠一个宣传页 https://tapflow.co/p/du-b2-au-c1-4ebMhTxqJi 就在第一天赚了 7000 多美元。
Since launch, I haven’t done any real marketing—just personal recommendations, Product Hunt and Reddit. Now it’s stable income. The platform takes a small cut and offers a pro tier. 自推出以来,我没有做过任何真正意义上的营销--只是个人推荐、Product Hunt 和 Reddit。现在收入稳定了。该平台收取少量费用,并提供专业级服务。
I build simple speech shadowing exercises that help people train for IELTS Speaking. The project makes more than $500/month. 我制作简单的语音影子练习,帮助人们进行雅思口语训练。该项目月收入超过 500 美元。↳
I built https://coverLetterGPT.xyz -- super simple GPT wrapper that generates cover letters. Makes almost $600 a month now. It's also open-source. I wrote about it here: https://docs.opensaas.sh/blog/2024-12-16-my-gpt-wrapper/ 我创建了 https://coverLetterGPT.xyz -- 超级简单的 GPT 包装器,可以生成求职信。现在每月能赚近 600 美元。它也是开源的。我在这里写过:https://docs.opensaas.sh/blog/2024-12-16-my-gpt-wrapper/
Gets me around $250 per month. I've not done much marketing either. Started as a hobby project after Covid and continued after. 我每月能拿到 250 美元左右。我也没怎么做营销。在 Covid 之后,我开始把它作为一个业余项目,并一直坚持了下来。
I also built an Indian Version of Neighborhood app (like Nextdoor). But I am not making any money from it. https://neighar.com 我还制作了一个印度版的邻居应用程序(类似 Nextdoor)。但我并没有从中赚到钱。https://neighar.com
PS: I am planning to scale up and also planning to spend some money on marketing. Investors are welcome! 附注:我正计划扩大规模,还计划在市场营销方面投入一些资金。欢迎投资者!
It's an audio hosting service with high quality audio and a customizable unbranded player. 这是一项音频托管服务,提供高质量音频和可定制的无品牌播放器。
Embeds are done with iframes but we're starting to offer web components which offer some cool opportunities like interaction between components. 嵌入是通过 iframe 完成的,但我们开始提供网络组件,这提供了一些很酷的机会,比如组件之间的交互。
Most of our customers are selling some kind of audio product or service. Think plugin developers, sound designers, media composers, etc. 我们的大多数客户都在销售某种音频产品或服务。例如插件开发人员、音效设计师、媒体作曲家等。
Currently working on a B2B integration with an API so that it would be trivial to add audio to any web app. Think chats, marketplaces, etc. 目前正在开发一个带有应用程序接口的 B2B 集成,这样就可以轻而易举地将音频添加到任何网络应用中。例如聊天、市场等。
I'm building Virtual Graph Paper (https://virtual-graph-paper.com) which is a web app for sketching on a grid. 我正在开发一款名为 Virtual Graph Paper ( https://virtual-graph-paper.com) 的网络应用程序,用于在网格上绘制草图。
Basically a (limited) vector graphics editor that's trying to be very approachable, aimed at use-cases where something like Illustrator or a CAD package wouldn't be a great fit. I keep hearing about new things people use it for, which is something I truly enjoy. 基本上,它是一个(有限的)矢量图形编辑器,试图让它变得非常平易近人,针对的是像 Illustrator 或 CAD 软件包等不太适合的使用场景。我不断听说有人用它来做新的事情,这让我非常享受。
It's free and ad-free, but there's also a paid version in the form of a downloadable Electron app or a subscription. 它是免费的,没有广告,但也有付费版本,可下载 Electron 应用程序或订阅。
I wrote scrapers to scrape data from Google, Bing, Walmart, eBay... I work with clients, support them to integrate all data into their workflows. Basically, I'll provide private APIs, specific to their use-cases. Not many clients, only 2, about 600 USD/month cause clients are testing the market. It's fun cause I can debug and get feedback directly, in real-time, from clients about the results. 我编写了从谷歌、必应、沃尔玛、eBay 搜刮数据的刮擦程序...我与客户合作,支持他们将所有数据整合到工作流程中。基本上,我会根据他们的使用情况提供专用的 API。客户不多,只有 2 个,每月约 600 美元,因为客户正在测试市场。这很有趣,因为我可以直接调试并实时从客户那里获得有关结果的反馈。
I own an escape room business with one, two-part, room and it does about this or much more in some months. 我拥有一家由两个部分组成的密室逃脱公司,它在某些月份的业绩大约是这样,甚至更多。
The problem is, unlike so many examples in these threads, this business requires every available minute of my time so it’s a little more than I bargained for. Plus there is a brick and mortar location, city regulations, etc. 问题是,与这些主题中的许多例子不同,这项业务需要我投入每一分每一秒的时间,所以比我预期的要多一点。此外,还有实体店、城市法规等等。
You gotta REALLY love the hell out of this business to do it at all, let alone as a side project. 你必须非常热爱这一行,才会去做,更不用说作为副业了。
I make macOS apps [0], the revenue is irregular but on average it fits the $500/m. The main driver is [1] ScreenMemory, which records your screens and allows you to navigate a timeline / calendar. Sort of a Rewind.ai alternative. 我制作 macOS 应用程序 [0],收入不固定,但平均符合 500 美元/月的标准。主要驱动力是 [1] ScreenMemory,它可以记录你的屏幕,并允许你浏览时间轴/日历。有点像 Rewind.ai 的替代品。
More like $400 a month the past couple months. Maybe that counts. 在过去的几个月里,每个月大概有 400 美元。也许这也算。

I started this chess variant AI sandbox 5 years ago for myself to help with a brutal commute. Still working on it now and then. I've learned so much building and releasing a commercial product with a community, on Google Play and Steam. It's great to see the flexibility of the "good enough" AI I made has still held up after 5 years. 5 年前,我为自己启动了这个国际象棋变体人工智能沙盒,以帮助自己度过艰难的通勤时间。现在,我仍在不时地改进它。在 Google Play 和 Steam 上与社区一起开发和发布一款商业产品,让我学到了很多。很高兴看到我制作的 "足够好 "的人工智能的灵活性在 5 年后仍能保持。↳
I saw you present this many years ago at MariHacks! Stuck with me as a really cool idea and project. Awesome to see it still going strong! 多年前,我在 MariHacks 上看到过你介绍这个项目!我一直认为这是一个很酷的想法和项目。很高兴看到它仍在继续!
https://SerpentineGame.com brings in close to that with advertisements and premium subscriptions. It is a clone of a game called Tangleword that is itself a clone of Boggle. I originally wrote it in 2008 and am currently re-writing it from scratch because the technology stack is so old and cumbersome to maintain. https://SerpentineGame.com 通过广告和付费订阅带来的收入接近这个数字。它是一款名为 Tangleword 的游戏的克隆版,而 Tangleword 本身就是 Boggle 的克隆版。我最初是在 2008 年编写的,目前正在从头开始重新编写,因为技术栈太老了,维护起来很麻烦。
I develop a modular media center compatible with Stremio addons for Apple platforms. It's called [Vidi](https://vidi.plomo.se/). 我开发的模块化媒体中心与苹果平台的 Stremio 附加组件兼容。它叫做 [Vidi](https://vidi.plomo.se/)。
I've done zero marketing and have a few thousand users from organic growth alone since August. It's a one-time purchase type of deal and I'm overwhelmed by positive feedback. 我没有做任何市场推广,自 8 月份以来,仅有机增长就有几千名用户。这是一次性购买类型的交易,积极的反馈让我应接不暇。
I’ve built two AI based apps.
Earlier this year, I wanted clarity on some issues. I knew several of my books held keys to the answers I was seeking, but finding those felt impossible. I wanted an AI based tool I could use to talk to my books. I built https://www.asklibrary.ai to enable this, implementing tons of RAG tech like query fanout, query understanding and breakdown, multi step retrieval, reranking, etc., and I pull in dozens of pages of text for each answer. 我已经开发了两个基于人工智能的应用程序。今年年初,我想弄清一些问题。我知道我的几本书是我寻找答案的关键,但要找到这些答案感觉是不可能的。我想要一个人工智能工具,可以用来与我的书对话。为了实现这一点,我创建了 https://www.asklibrary.ai,采用了大量的 RAG 技术,如查询扇出、查询理解和细分、多步骤检索、重新排序等,并为每个答案输入了数十页的文本。
Secondly I love Claude and also use TypingMind but missed the memory feature from ChatGPT. I made MemoryPlugin (https://www.memoryplugin.com) that adds long-term memory to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, TypingMind, and LibreChat on desktop and mobile browsers. This got me really interested in AI memory in general, I’ve played around with fine tuning AI models with memories (results = some data learned, way more hallucinations). 其次,我喜欢 Claude,也使用 TypingMind,但却错过了 ChatGPT 的记忆功能。我制作了 MemoryPlugin ( https://www.memoryplugin.com),为桌面和移动浏览器上的 ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini、TypingMind 和 LibreChat 增加了长期记忆功能。这让我对人工智能的记忆力产生了浓厚的兴趣,我曾尝试用记忆力对人工智能模型进行微调(结果是学到了一些数据,产生了更多幻觉)。
I built ClickConnector - a customer support platform for SaaS products. 我创建了 ClickConnector - SaaS 产品的客户支持平台。
Customer support and customer success are interconnected functions, especially for SaaS products. We took it upon ourselves to build a platform with HelpDesk, Knowledge Base Portals, Feature Requests, Bug Reports, Changelogs, Email Drip Campaigns, Product Tours, NPS, Testimonial Collection, Checklists, and everything a SaaS team needs to win over their customers. 客户支持和客户成功是相互关联的功能,对于 SaaS 产品而言尤其如此。我们主动建立了一个平台,其中包括帮助台、知识库门户、功能请求、错误报告、更新日志、电子邮件滴灌活动、产品导览、NPS、推荐信收集、核对表以及 SaaS 团队赢得客户所需的一切。
Initially, my focus was on travel agencies. I then started building tools that I needed to support my customers (since I couldn't use another product to assist them—it would have been a shame to use an external product if we were marketing our solution as a customer support platform for travel agencies). Fast forward, with all the tools that we built, it was a no-brainer for me to pivot our product. I thought this would be a great fit since this niche has a better founder fit for me. 最初,我的工作重点是旅行社。然后,我开始开发支持客户所需的工具(因为我不能使用其他产品来帮助客户--如果我们将我们的解决方案作为旅行社的客户支持平台进行营销,使用外部产品就太可惜了)。很快,随着我们建立了所有的工具,我毫不犹豫地决定改变我们的产品。我认为这将是一个很好的契机,因为这个利基市场的创始人更适合我。↳
I have been making youtube videos for a long time on many different accounts. I don't know what else to say except try to choose topics that youtube won't give you trouble over so avoid things like privacy, crypto, politics. Then you just keep making videos and one day you win the lottery when the algorithm finally shines the light on you. 我用很多不同的账户制作 YouTube 视频已经有很长一段时间了。我不知道还能说什么,只能说尽量选择 Youtube 不会给你带来麻烦的话题,避免隐私、加密货币、政治等话题。然后,你就继续制作视频,总有一天,当算法最终照亮你的时候,你就中奖了。
I built an online course catalog / aggregator many years ago. It's my first web project after learning how to code using courses from edX and Treehouse. My goal was to build something that I'd want to use myself. It's undergone a few iterations since then. 多年前,我创建了一个在线课程目录/聚合器。这是我学习如何使用 edX 和 Treehouse 课程编码后的第一个网络项目。我的目标是建立一个我自己愿意使用的东西。从那时起,它经历了几次迭代。
The site gained initial traction on Reddit where I shared my experience learning and building in the r/learnprogramming subreddit. That was enough momentum to get me ranking on search engines. I eventually set up affiliate relationships with several of the major online course platforms. 在 Reddit 上,我在 r/learnprogramming 子版块分享了我的学习和构建经验,网站因此获得了初步的关注。这足以让我在搜索引擎上获得排名。我最终与几个主要的在线课程平台建立了联盟关系。
Although I've built a handful of apps using React, Vue, etc. this one's a classic Flask app using Jinja templating. There's just a few tiny JS scripts I wrote for basic interactivity (like updating the state of the "Save" button). Feedback is most welcome! 虽然我已经使用 React、Vue 等构建了一些应用程序,但这是一个使用 Jinja 模板的经典 Flask 应用程序。我只写了几个很小的 JS 脚本来实现基本的交互性(比如更新 "保存 "按钮的状态)。欢迎反馈!
I made an invoice maker app. Available for iOS and macOS. It's a document-based app with custom file format for invoices: https://apps.apple.com/app/invoice-maker-quote-builder/id153... 我制作了一款发票制作应用程序。适用于 iOS 和 macOS。这是一款基于文档的应用程序,采用自定义发票文件格式:https://apps.apple.com/app/invoice-maker-quote-builder/id153...
Started selling pasture raised eggs last summer. First we had a flock of 150 but soon we ordered 150 more. We kept them in the Susckovich style chicken tractors[1] and sold directly to customers through Reko-rings (Facebook based farmers market). We gross around 3k€ per month with around 2000 euros profit per month. The chores take 1-2h per day and the deliverys around 3h per week. Our web page is at www.paivarinne.farm It's in Finnish but at least the pictures are nice :) 去年夏天开始销售牧场饲养的鸡蛋。起初我们有 150 只鸡,但很快又订购了 150 只。我们把它们养在苏斯科维奇式的养鸡拖拉机[1]里,通过 Reko-rings(基于 Facebook 的农贸市场)直接卖给客户。我们每月的总收入约为 3 000 欧元,每月利润约为 2000 欧元。每天做家务需要 1-2 个小时,每周送货大约需要 3 个小时。我们的网页是 www.paivarinne.farm,虽然是芬兰语,但至少图片不错:)
Around 25€ per day + VAT. They lay 240 eggs during day now thay it’s winter. We sell them 50snt/each (VAT included). We feed them soyfree organic feed. 大约每天 25 欧元 + 增值税。现在是冬天,它们白天产 240 枚蛋。我们卖给它们 50 新特/枚(含增值税)。我们喂的是不含大豆的有机饲料。
I'm making and selling a couple of LED pin badges on my site https://hortus.dev. 我正在我的网站 https://hortus.dev 上制作和销售一些 LED 徽章。
I wrote about my experience doing these last year (previous hn post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38904255) and since then it has really taken off! Not enough to live off, but certainly enough to sustain itself and fund some more projects in the future. 我去年写过我做这些工作的经历(hn 上一篇文章:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38904255),从那时起,它就真正开始起步了!虽然还不足以维持生活,但肯定足以维持下去,并为未来的更多项目提供资金。↳
I never expected it to turn into anything more serious than a novelty and I've learned a tonne about running a small business as a result. I'm really looking forward to (hopefully) learning how to grow this into something bigger over 2025! 我从未想过它会变成比新奇事物更严肃的东西,我也因此学到了很多关于经营小企业的知识。我真的很期待(希望)能学会如何在 2025 年将其发展成更大的事业!
How will you address the product safety issues related to coin cell batteries? 您将如何解决与纽扣电池有关的产品安全问题?
We also manufacture STEM/edu electronics and have encountered product safety regulations concerning coin cell batteries in Australia. Similar laws were introduced in the US and Europe in 2023. 我们也生产 STEM/edu 电子产品,在澳大利亚遇到过有关纽扣电池的产品安全法规。美国和欧洲也于 2023 年出台了类似的法律。
I wrote a small application for a Customer which enables File Transfer, Notifies Users about files that they should have uploaded and displays some progress. The Customer is a law firm. No Recurring Renevue, But yielded 10000€ in 6 months. Is More of a second Job than a side project tho 我为一位客户编写了一个小型应用程序,它可以进行文件传输,通知用户应该上传的文件,并显示一些进度。客户是一家律师事务所。没有经常性收入,但在 6 个月内获得了 1 万欧元。这与其说是一个副业,不如说是第二份工作。
I built https://gadabout.ai through experimentation with multimodal LLMs / computer use to reduce the burden of user testing side projects. I can't recall the last time I was this excited by a new technology. 我通过多模态LLMs/计算机使用实验建立了 https://gadabout.ai,以减轻用户测试副项目的负担。我已经记不清上一次对一项新技术如此兴奋是什么时候了。
Following conversations with others, I've since positioned the tool for marketing teams to run deep competitor analysis and monitoring. Two pilot customers through word of mouth expected to double next month. Invite-only building in tandem with customer feedback, I haven't even put together a landing page yet. 在与其他人交流后,我将该工具定位为营销团队进行深度竞争对手分析和监控的工具。通过口口相传,预计下个月会有两个试点客户。根据客户的反馈,我甚至还没有设计出登陆页面。
I'm currently designing a ranking algorithm, working name UAC (Usability, Accessibility, Conversion) score. 我目前正在设计一种排名算法,工作名称为 UAC(可用性、可访问性、转换)评分。
Last August I bought 6 small work platforms/mast lifts at an equipment auction and sold them in FB Marketplace for an extra $1000 each after expenses. Cleaned them up a bit, but that was it! I’m bidding on 5 more this week, should be an easy $5k arbitrage. 去年八月,我在一次设备拍卖会上买了 6 台小型工作平台/桅杆升降机,然后在 FB Marketplace 上卖掉了,除去开支,每台多赚了 1000 美元。把它们清理了一下,但仅此而已!本周我又竞拍了 5 台,应该能轻松套利 5000 美元。
SpaceShout (https://spaceshout.com) is Social Mapping Platform focused on our user's content and interaction. SpaceShout ( https://spaceshout.com) 是一个社交地图平台,专注于用户的内容和互动。

Tracking my food has helped me get into much better shape but the leading apps in this space IMO are all quite clunky. I wanted to built something that was fast and lets you get on with your life. 跟踪我的食物让我的身材变得更好,但这个领域的主流应用程序都非常笨拙。我想做一款既快速又能让你继续生活的软件。
A few stand out features: 几个突出特点
- Nutrition label scanning if I don't have the food you're looking for
- Photo Logging for restaurant meals or complex meals you don't want to manually track
- It's light weight & fast
- Interactive widgets for things like water tracking. - 如果我没有你要找的食物,可扫描营养标签 - 餐厅用餐或不想手动追踪的复杂餐点可拍照记录 - 重量轻、速度快 - 水质追踪等互动小工具。
Feels weird that you hype up its ad free in the description, when you need to pay to have the app work (monthly, annually, or permanent). I'd not expect a paid application to have ads. 你在描述中大肆宣传它的无广告性,但却需要付费才能使用(每月、每年或永久),这让人感觉很奇怪。我不希望付费应用程序有广告。
How much gross taxable do you need to make from your side gig to take home 500/m net from a side gig? Here, that's about 1360/m if itemising expenses, or 900€/m with the standard deduction for side income and doing your own taxes. 你需要从副业中赚取多少应税毛收入,才能从副业中净赚 500 欧元/月?在这里,如果逐项计算费用,大约为 1360 欧元/月;如果按标准扣除副业收入并自己纳税,则为 900 欧元/月。
I created this course about Data Integration around 2 years back following delivering some complex integrations
https://www.udemy.com/course/data-integration-guide/?couponC...
(Link with coupon code)
It brings around 300€/month, and is very much appreciated by professionals despite it not being very conventional. The reason to put it was to share some lessons learned in such projects
I also published a book on Amazon (with some more detailed content) and it sells handful (sometimes more) copies every month. 大约 2 年前,在完成了一些复杂的集成项目后,我创建了这门关于数据集成的课程 https://www.udemy.com/course/data-integration-guide/?couponC... (链接附带优惠券代码),它的月收入约为 300 欧元,尽管不是很传统,但很受专业人士的欢迎。我还在亚马逊上出版了一本书(内容更为详尽),每月都能卖出几本(有时甚至更多)。
I’m building an Open Source (AGPLv3) email marketing platform with Elixir/Phoenix and it's only just crossed that MRR threshold - three years since the first version. 我正在用 Elixir/Phoenix 构建一个开源(AGPLv3)电子邮件营销平台,它才刚刚跨过 MRR 的门槛--距离第一个版本已经过去了三年。
I'm a bit late to the game, but I still want to share my side project Olympiad Math Exercises for Kids https://mathclub.ai/math-exercises. 虽然来得有点晚,但我还是想和大家分享我的副项目《儿童奥数练习》https://mathclub.ai/math-exercises。
For $50 a month, students get two sets of problems from past math contests every week. We've added nice features like an AI helper that can check answers and answer questions about the problems.

It’s a B2B SaaS in out-of-home advertising. We found that buying ads outside the digital realm is hard and the only alternative are marketplaces that take away control over media owner’s inventory. So we did for those companies what Shopify did for small businesses — we gave them the tools to sell and to market. 这是一个户外广告领域的 B2B SaaS。我们发现,在数字领域之外购买广告很难,而唯一的选择是市场,因为市场夺走了对媒体所有者库存的控制权。因此,我们为这些公司做了 Shopify 为小企业所做的事情--我们为他们提供了销售和营销工具。
Among some related tools, I run Batch Compress (https://batchcompress.com/en), an online image compressor. It converts images to WebP or JPEG with a lot of compression applied in order to shrink file size by a lot. 在一些相关工具中,我使用了 Batch Compress ( https://batchcompress.com/en),这是一个在线图像压缩器。它能将图像转换成 WebP 或 JPEG 格式,并进行大量压缩,从而大大缩小文件大小。
There is a lot of competitors, but usually they have limits requiring accounts & payment if the images are too large to begin with or if you want to compress a lot of images. Batch Compress is free for unlimited use. The concept of Batch Compress is to be a batch version of Google's Squoosh tool. 竞争者很多,但通常都有限制,如果图像太大或想压缩大量图像,就需要开设账户并付费。Batch Compress 可免费无限量使用。Batch Compress 的概念是 Google Squoosh 工具的批处理版本。

How do you make money with this? I tried disabling uBlock Origin and didn't even see any ads on the landing page. 你怎么用这个赚钱?我试着禁用了 uBlock Origin,在登陆页面上甚至看不到任何广告。
There is ads. Perhaps they didn't load or uBlock Origin isn't actually disabled? 有广告。也许它们没有加载,或者uBlock Origin实际上没有被禁用?
I know that some people find ads distasteful, but I think they're the best way to make a tool like this sustainable without being annoying; limits, accounts, payments, etc. I figure that anyone who dislikes ads enough will be running an ad blocker anyway. 我知道有些人对广告很反感,但我认为广告是让这样一个工具在不招人烦的情况下实现可持续发展的最佳方式,比如限制、账户、支付等。我认为,无论如何,任何不喜欢广告的人都会使用广告拦截器。
I have been working on Audjust (https://www.audjust.com/) on and off in my spare time. It's a service to manipulate (shorten/lengthen/loop) audio for video editors and music producers. 业余时间,我一直在断断续续地开发 Audjust ( https://www.audjust.com/)。这是一项为视频编辑和音乐制作人提供的音频处理(缩短/延长/循环)服务。
I had a Show HN a while back that was well-received and kicked things off (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480687). Since launching I have changed the name and added paid accounts which have brought in enough money to cover costs and make some profit! 不久前,我推出了一个名为 "Show HN "的网站,受到了广泛欢迎,并拉开了网站的序幕 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36480687)。自推出以来,我更改了名称并增加了付费账户,这些账户带来的收入足以支付成本并赚取一些利润!

My side project is about market making in a very particular way / or niched between decentralised exchanges and centralised one. The good thing is that this industry is so big that even as a small competitor I can do a lot. I don't have a product, just a basic page that's broken here and there https://asset.plus/, my actual revenue comes from my bots trading. I am currently expanding my infrastructure, but I really have to take care of costs because servers for low latency are expensive. 我的副业是以一种非常特殊的方式做市,或者说是在去中心化交易所和中心化交易所之间的利基市场做市。好在这个行业非常大,即使作为一个小竞争者,我也能做很多事情。我没有产品,只有一个基本的页面,这里坏了,那里 https://asset.plus/,我的实际收入来自我的机器人交易。我目前正在扩建我的基础设施,但我真的不得不考虑成本问题,因为低延迟服务器价格昂贵。

It become the #3 selling one (after Shipfast and Makerkit) in under 3 month. 在不到三个月的时间里,它就成为销量排名第三的产品(仅次于 Shipfast 和 Makerkit)。↳
I know the website itself is not the most descriptive, but I do prio feature and customer requests over website/marketing. Soon the starter kit will also have multi-organization support :) 我知道网站本身并不是最能说明问题的,但相比网站/营销,我更重视功能和客户的要求。很快,入门套件还将支持多个组织:)↳
2025 is gonna be interesting since I plan to add multiple boilerplates to the same package deal. Realized I'm not a business that needs to be greedy and grow, just helping others is enough. 2025 年会很有趣,因为我计划在同一套餐交易中添加多个模板。我意识到自己不是一个需要贪婪发展的企业,只要帮助别人就足够了。↳
I'm currently making about $1K a month on my book/course Atomic Note-Taking which has sold in 69 countries—something I didn't anticipate! 目前,我的著作/课程《原子笔记》每月收入约 1 000 美元,该书已销往 69 个国家--这是我始料未及的!
Along side this I'm build a note-taking app—flowtelic that aims to help you get into flow and have an autotelic experience. It's to put into software the goals of my note-taking book where I feel other apps are missing the mark. 与此同时,我还在开发一款笔记应用程序--flowtelic,旨在帮助你进入流畅状态,获得自主体验。它将我笔记书中的目标应用到软件中,而我觉得其他应用在这方面做得不够好。

I run CodeApprove (https://codeapprove.com) which is a better code review interface for teams that work on GitHub. Know when it's your turn to review, what discussions/files need your attention, and do it all in a lightning-fast single-page interface with keyboard shortcuts. The UX and workflows are inspired by the excellent tool Critique which Googlers/Xooglers know and love. 我运营的 CodeApprove ( https://codeapprove.com) 是一个更好的代码审查界面,适用于在 GitHub 上工作的团队。你可以知道什么时候轮到你审阅,哪些讨论/文件需要你关注,还可以在带有键盘快捷键的单页界面上快速完成所有操作。用户体验和工作流程的灵感来源于 Googlers/Xooglers 所熟知和喜爱的优秀工具 Critique。

You can order certain pills that are meant for men for like 50c a piece online from India and sell them for 10€ a piece face to face to normies. Handing out a few freebies ALWAYS leads to the guys becoming frequent future customers. Because those damn pills, while not considered addictive, make things so, so much better. And not every country already has easy, cheap and low effort ways to order them normally… 你可以从印度网上以 50 美分一片的价格订购某些男性专用药片,然后以 10 欧元一片的价格当面卖给普通人。派发一些免费赠品总会让这些人成为未来的常客。因为那些该死的药片虽然不会让人上瘾,却能让事情变得非常非常好。而且,并不是每个国家都已经有了简单、便宜、省力的正常订购方式......
(I am talking about vitamin pills aimed at men and nothing else and I am not doing this, I heard someone tell me this story.) (我说的是针对男性的维生素药片,不是别的,也不是我做的,我是听别人讲的这个故事)。↳
How many guns do you own to protect your territory and vitamin empire, and ensure the riches gained aren't taken by anyone? Do you have vitamin groupies? Do you recruit vitamin runners to distribute the small quantities and take most of the risk? Do you move vitamins by the kilo? 你拥有多少枪支来保护你的领地和维生素帝国,并确保获得的财富不被任何人夺走?你有维他命粉丝吗?你会招募维他命走私商来分销少量维他命并承担大部分风险吗?你以公斤为单位运送维生素吗?

Permanent tadalafil if you can stand the side effects, any of the others if you are suffering and want them to be over faster. 如果您能忍受副作用,请服用永久性他达拉非;如果您正在遭受痛苦,并希望更快地消除副作用,请服用任何其他药物。
Interesting I never heard of ED meds of that nature described like more addictive drugs where "you take one freebie and you're coming back for more." Why don't people get them OTC instead of on the black market? Are you from a place where they're more illicit? 有趣的是,我从来没听说过这种性质的 ED 药物会像更容易上瘾的药物一样,"你吃了一次赠品,就会再来买更多"。为什么人们不从非处方药而要从黑市上购买呢?你是来自一个更非法的地方吗?
Earlier this year, NYT launched a new puzzle game called Strands, which gained a lot of popularity. I created a website, https://strands.today, monetized with AdSense. It allows users to check daily puzzle answers and play previous games in the https://www.strands.today/strands-archive/ . It generates about $600 per month. 今年早些时候,《纽约时报》推出了一款名为 "Strands "的新益智游戏,大受欢迎。我创建了一个网站 https://strands.today,通过 AdSense 盈利。用户可以在 https://www.strands.today/strands-archive/ 上查看每日谜题答案并玩以前的游戏。每月收入约为 600 美元。

I opened a board game/trading card store in May. We host events and sell products. Takes up a lot of my time but ultimately it's a passion project that actually makes money. 我在五月份开了一家棋盘游戏/交易卡商店。我们举办活动,销售产品。这占用了我很多时间,但归根结底,这是一个能真正赚钱的激情项目。
I dunno if it's in your wheelhouse, but I recently discovered a "game cafe" locally that allows folks to check out games by the hour (like a very specialized library), but they also sell beer/wine/coffee/pastries plus running the events like you said. I am so incredibly sad I didn't think of that first - that forehead slapping moment is my definition of a "good idea" 我不知道这是否符合你的想法,但我最近在当地发现了一家 "游戏咖啡馆",它允许人们按小时借阅游戏(就像一个非常专业的图书馆),但他们也出售啤酒/葡萄酒/咖啡/糕点,而且还像你说的那样举办活动。我真为自己没有第一个想到这个点子而感到难过--我对 "好点子 "的定义就是 "拍额头的那一刻"。
We've let people rent on and off - the issue with renting is there's not much we can do scalably about verifying missing components, rules, good working condition (when non-board game people are running the store) - I charge about $10/wk for a game rented but it's definitely not a service we advertise actively. 我们时不时地让人租用游戏--租用游戏的问题在于,我们在核实缺失的组件、规则、良好的工作状态等方面做不了什么有规模的工作(当非桌游人员经营商店时)--我对租用的游戏收取大约 10 美元/周的费用,但这绝对不是我们积极宣传的一项服务。

I built FIXParser https://fixparser.dev initially because I wanted to learn HFT. This was over 10 years ago, but I still maintain and build it to this day. Turns out several companies find it useful too! It doesn’t make much money, but I’m more stubborn than smart so I’m quitting my day job and will work full-time on FIXParser next year. 我最初创建 FIXParser https://fixparser.dev 是因为我想学习 HFT。这已经是 10 多年前的事了,但我至今仍在维护和构建它。结果有几家公司也发现它很有用!它赚不了多少钱,但我比聪明人更固执,所以我辞掉了白天的工作,明年将全职开发 FIXParser。
As someone who has been using APIs for automated retail trading the last few years now, this is highly interesting to me. I've heard of FIX protocol before, but never thought to use it as a retail trader - would this be practical for someone like me? 作为一个在过去几年中一直使用 API 进行自动零售交易的人,我对此非常感兴趣。我以前听说过 FIX 协议,但从未想过将其用于零售交易--这对我这样的人来说实用吗?
APIs from the popular brokerages have done the job, but I've experienced more than my fair share of request failures. This sometimes can be the trades themselves, which includes opening/closing higher risk < 1 DTE option positions. This doesn't give the warm and fuzzies if you know what I mean. I have quite a bit of coding experience and feel good about the limit/failure checks in my code, but there is no walking away from the trading terminal when the code is running. 流行券商的应用程序接口已经完成了这项工作,但我也遇到过不少请求失败的情况。这有时可能是交易本身的问题,包括开仓/平仓风险较高的 < 1 DTE 期权头寸。如果你明白我的意思,这不会让人感到温暖。我有相当多的编码经验,对代码中的限制/失败检查感觉良好,但代码运行时,我无法离开交易终端。
I realize your software is a parser and I may have went on a bit of a tangent, but I'm always open to new ideas and ways to make my project more efficient. 我知道你的软件是一个解析器,我可能有点扯远了,但我总是愿意接受新的想法和方法,让我的项目更有效率。↳
Edit: Also, nice use of the linear gradient on a couple of your buttons in dark mode. I feel like I remember that css trick on HN one day and thought it was clever. 编辑:另外,你在暗色模式下对几个按钮的线性渐变使用得很好。我好像记得有一天在 HN 上看到过这种 css 技巧,觉得很聪明。
I started Ketalon Gear (ketalon.com) to design, manufacture and sell cool, tough products that I like to use and carry daily. Average monthly income is $2K–3K. This is thanks to repeat buyers as much as first-timers. Although some months are slow with no more than 15 orders, the bigger months when a Kickstarter campaign pays out a lump sum (followed by an influx of orders from being new on the KS page) help raise the average. Sales also pick up before Christmas, and whenever I run a promotion. Occasional wholesale partnerships with online retailers (in Japan, USA) also bring in a lump sum payout. 70% orders are from the USA. For shipping I use Australia Post (terrible) and NextSmartShip China (superb). 我创办了 Ketalon Gear (ketalon.com),设计、制造和销售我喜欢使用和日常携带的超酷、坚固的产品。平均月收入为 2K-3K 美元。这既要归功于回头客,也要归功于新手。虽然有些月份的订单量不超过 15 个,但当 Kickstarter 募捐活动一次性支付了大笔款项(紧接着 KS 页面上的新订单大量涌入)时,这些月份的平均收入就会提高。圣诞节前以及每当我开展促销活动时,销量也会回升。偶尔与在线零售商(日本、美国)的批发合作也会带来一次性付款。70% 的订单来自美国。在运输方面,我使用澳大利亚邮政(糟糕)和 NextSmartShip 中国(一流)。
I should mention that the first couple products I designed did not work at all. Hardly anyone placed orders and I didn't recover my investment... at a time when I didn't have money to 'waste' (I had quit my PhD in the USA and moved to Australia, I was broke so first had to get a full-time job). But of course the experience wasn't a waste, it taught me couple things I really needed to know for this journey. Things only picked up when I discovered Kickstarter. The hit product that changed things (now sold out and discontinued) was a bolt action tactical pen priced at AUD45 (USD~30) and made of reinforced polymer instead of metal. The metal ones at the time cost 3X–7X my price, were heavy, plain-looking, sharp and slippery for tactical use as a glass-breaker. Additionally, I provide the kind of customer service I wish I could get : First, I provide lifetime guarantees on all my products (there are only two products in stock now but I had a dozen; planning more in future). Second, if there's any issue — even if your cousin sneezes on your pen and you therefore want a different one — I'll ship a free pen. The rare issue has been a package getting lost in transit, I try to fix that quickly by shipping a second package and then providing a refund for the disappointing experience. I don't ask for returns and it's a hassle anyway, so nobody has ever returned a product. Only one person asked for a refund in six years which I provided in about ten seconds. Among loads of positive feedback and sometimes multi-page emails that I'm very grateful for, customers also sometimes email me to say their pens were stolen after they showed it off to curious coworkers or something — when I hear this, I send them free replacement pens because it makes me happy to flip their memory of the incident from negative to positive. 值得一提的是,我设计的前几款产品根本没有成功。几乎没有人下单,我的投资也没有收回......而当时我没有钱可以 "浪费"(我辞去了在美国的博士学位,搬到了澳大利亚,身无分文,所以首先要找一份全职工作)。当然,这段经历并没有白费,它教会了我在这段旅程中真正需要知道的几件事。当我发现 Kickstarter 时,情况才有所好转。改变一切的热门产品(现已售罄并停产)是一款枪栓式战术笔,售价 45 澳元(约合 30 美元),由强化聚合物制成,而非金属。当时的金属笔价格是我的 3-7 倍,沉重、朴素、锋利、滑溜,不适合作为战术破玻器使用。此外,我还提供我希望得到的客户服务:首先,我为我的所有产品提供终身保修(现在只有两款产品有库存,但我有一打;计划将来会有更多的)。其次,如果出现任何问题,即使你的表弟对你的笔打喷嚏,你因此想要换一支笔,我也会免费寄送一支笔。极少数问题是包裹在运输途中丢失,我都会尽快寄出第二个包裹,然后为令人失望的经历提供退款。我不要求退货,反正退货也很麻烦,所以从来没有人退货。六年来,只有一个人要求退款,我在大约十秒钟内就提供了退款。 客户有时会给我发电子邮件,说他们的笔在向好奇的同事炫耀后被偷了,听到这些,我会给他们寄去免费的替换笔,因为能让他们对这件事的记忆从负面转为正面,我会很高兴。↳
I am currently running an application in Korea that analyzes the results of sports Toto matches. I earn approximately $500–550 per month through in-app purchases. 我目前在韩国运行一款应用程序,分析体育 Toto 比赛的结果。我每月通过应用内购买赚取大约 500-550 美元。

Pretty basic 3d printing. Right now I'm focusing on the usual kinds of products (either commercial-compatible CC licenses or models of those I've purchased licenses to), but I'm working towards learning Autodesk Fusion and creating my own products. (Probably focus more on functional items, since I'm definitely not artistic). Netting around $500-1000 a month (eBay, Etsy, Mercari, some FB marketplace) 非常基本的 3d 打印。现在,我的工作重点是制作常见的产品(商业兼容的 CC 许可或我已购买许可的产品模型),但我正在努力学习 Autodesk Fusion 并制作自己的产品。(可能会更侧重于功能性产品,因为我绝对不是搞艺术的)。每月净收入约 500-1000 美元(eBay、Etsy、Mercari 和一些 FB 市场)
I believe Amazon has price rules such that you cannot price gouge on Amazon. Do the vendors you list have any rules like that? Or do you just not care? 我相信亚马逊有价格规则,不能在亚马逊上抬高价格。你列出的供应商有这样的规定吗?还是你根本不在乎?
Everything I list is at fair market price, with fairly conservative margins if you consider materials, capital expenses, and labor time. 我列出的所有东西都是公平的市场价格,如果考虑到材料、资本支出和劳动时间,利润率相当保守。

It turned out that a lot of other people wanted the same thing. 我之所以创建 https://runjs.app,是因为我希望有一种简单的方法来运行 JavaScript 并测试各种想法。结果发现很多人也有同样的需求。
The first version was free and very basic. After getting a lot of suggestions and feedback from the people using it, I added more features and introduced a freemium pricing model. 第一个版本是免费的,而且非常基础。在收到用户的大量建议和反馈后,我增加了更多功能,并引入了免费定价模式。
I built this for my personal usecase to estimate savings by prepayments done during my home loan tenure. I didn’t find this feature where you can select choice to reduce emi or tenure for each prepayment. Not making any revenue but hopefully trying to make it helpful 我是根据我的个人使用情况创建这个软件的,目的是估算在我的住房贷款期限内通过预付款节省的费用。我没有发现这个功能,在这里您可以选择减少每次预付的 emi 或期限。没有任何收入,但希望能有所帮助。

Not quite 500$/month, but my book https://www.handsonscala.com/ is still making 300-400/month 4.5 years after releasing it. Not a lot of money compared to silicon valley FAANG salaries, especially given the amount of effort that went in, but it's a nice feeling to see the dollars trickling after so long 虽然月薪还不到 500 美元,但我的 https://www.handsonscala.com/ 一书出版 4.5 年后,月薪仍有 300-400 美元。与硅谷FAANG公司的薪水相比,这不算什么,尤其是考虑到我付出的努力,但能在这么长的时间后看到涓涓细流,感觉还是不错的。
Li Haoyi! Thank you for developing your scala ecosystem and Hands On Scala. I just started using Scala again after a few years' break, using Mill, thanks to your recent blog post on the last 12 years. I forgot how easy Scala can be if you don't make it hard, and how just darn pleasant it is to code in. Would love to see Scala rise from the ashes of the FP flame wars and become Python devs' second language. Or even their first. Thanks for leading the charge! 李浩一感谢您开发 Scala 生态系统和 Hands On Scala。在中断几年后,我刚刚开始重新使用 Scala,使用的是 Mill,这要归功于你最近关于过去 12 年的博文。我都忘了如果不把 Scala 弄得太难,它可以变得多么简单,用它来编码是多么令人愉快。我很乐意看到 Scala 从 FP 火焰之战的灰烬中崛起,成为 Python 开发人员的第二语言。甚至是他们的第一语言。感谢你们的领导!
I built an agentic marketplace where people create agents which get a cut of the task price if their agents take part in doing something in the chain. 我建立了一个代理市场,人们可以创建代理,如果他们的代理参与了链条中的某项工作,他们就可以从任务价格中分一杯羹。
Making more than $500 but it is a side project. 收入超过 500 美元,但这只是一个副业。
I built thatsexquiz.com - a quiz for couples to improve their intimacy. Changed the pricing model and went from $5 to $50 per day 我创建了 thatsexquiz.com--一个为情侣提供改善亲密关系的测验网站。改变定价模式,从每天 5 美元涨到 50 美元
it's not consistent on a monthly basis but so far i have made $10k from my open source side project and I wrote about that in detail:
https://gourav.io/blog/notion-boost 每月的收入并不稳定,但到目前为止,我已经从我的开源副项目中赚到了 1 万美元,我已经详细写过: https://gourav.io/blog/notion-boost。
https://rockyai.me/ - a chrome extension that lets you chat with any webpage using LLMs. Just a simple side project that I wanted to build for me and my friends. Don't intent to monetize it https://rockyai.me/ - Chrome 浏览器扩展,您可以使用 LLMs 与任何网页聊天。这只是我想为自己和朋友们做的一个简单的副业。无意盈利
Thanksgiving last year, after GPT-4 was released, I realized large language models were finally good enough to bring my idea to life: an AI book generator. Over the holiday weekend, I built the prototype for https://instabooks.ai, to allow anyone to instantly generate 200+ page books on any topic. I sell them in pdf, epub and print form and they take about 30 minutes to complete. 去年感恩节,在 GPT-4 发布之后,我意识到大型语言模型终于足以实现我的想法:人工智能图书生成器。利用周末假期,我创建了 https://instabooks.ai 的原型,让任何人都能立即生成任何主题的 200 多页书籍。我以 PDF、EPUB 和印刷版的形式出售这些书籍,只需 30 分钟即可完成。
Since launch, over 10,000 books have been generated on topics ranging from niche hobbies to advanced research. The system runs almost entirely on its own, requiring only occasional updates and customer support. The best part of it: as new LLM models come out, the books get better written as well, so each year it improves without much effort on my end. 自推出以来,该系统已生成 10,000 多本书籍,内容涵盖从兴趣爱好到高级研究等各种主题。该系统几乎完全独立运行,只需要偶尔更新和客户支持。最重要的是:随着新LLM型号的推出,书籍的编写也会越来越好,因此每年我都不费吹灰之力就能改进系统。↳
What LLM are you currently using? And how do you prevent against hallucinations/drift when generating content of this length? Do you start by asking the model to generate an outline of a book, and then have it expand on each chapter with more detail? Awesome project 您目前使用的是什么LLM?在生成这么长的内容时,你如何防止幻觉/漂移?你是否先让模型生成一本书的大纲,然后让它在每一章中扩展更多细节?了不起的项目
Currently using GTP-4o combined with Perplexity API context infusion for real-time knowledge (this also reduces hallucination for the most part). And yes, starting with outline and then writing chapter by chapter while doing real time research. After initial completion there’s another editing round to make everything more coherent. 目前正在使用 GTP-4o 结合 Perplexity API 上下文导入,以获得实时知识(这也在很大程度上减少了幻觉)。是的,从大纲开始,然后一章一章地写,同时进行实时研究。初步完成后,还要再进行一轮编辑,使所有内容更加连贯。
I am a little unsure of how it works, but it is very intriguing. Can I order a book on Writing Effective HN Comments from you? Who would be listed as its author? If I wanted to be the author, would I have to pay you? Is there an option not to have the book listed on your page? Do you have an FAQ? : - ) 我有点不清楚它是如何工作的,但它非常吸引人。我能向您订购一本关于如何撰写有效的 HN 评论的书吗?谁会被列为作者?如果我想成为作者,我需要付钱给你吗?是否可以选择不在你们的页面上列出这本书?你们有常见问题吗?: - )
Yes, I do offer a premium “Becoming the Author” option that allows you to publish the book under your own name, with full copyright, and the book will be taken offline from the website. 是的,我确实提供 "成为作者 "的高级选项,您可以用自己的名字出版图书,拥有完全版权,图书将从网站上脱机发布。
Think of it as deep diving into a topic that you want to know everything about. For example quantum computing, you can generate a book that goes in depth in yesterday’s quantum chip announcement (https://instabooks.ai/products/df1ae367-e0c1-b749-9898-2744b...). Or if you’re preparing for a job interview and need to brush up on your knowledge in that specific field (https://instabooks.ai/products/041ced4c-efed-92e4-7ae6-9ad2b...) 把它想象成深入研究一个你想知道一切的主题。例如量子计算,你可以生成一本深入了解昨天量子芯片公告的书(https://instabooks.ai/products/df1ae367-e0c1-b749-9898-2744b......)。或者,如果你正在准备求职面试,需要补习特定领域的知识 ( https://instabooks.ai/products/041ced4c-efed-92e4-7ae6-9ad2b...)
Why wouldn't you buy a real book written by a real person who actually knows what they're talking about and is less likely to have hallucinated it all? 你为什么不买一本由真人撰写的真正的书,因为他确实知道自己在说什么,而且不太可能产生幻觉?
Write a few dozens chat gpt powered books, and during your next interview you might say: "actually I wrote a book on xxxx, you can buy it on Amazon" 写几本关于GPT的书 下次面试的时候你可能会说"其实我写过一本关于XXXX的书 你可以在亚马逊上买到"
8 年前的一个寒假,我开设了一门互动式音乐理论课程,每月的收入足以支付我的房租。
I just thought there had to be a more intuitive way to learn music theory than the very boring andjargon -heavy alternatives.
我只是觉得,比起那些枯燥乏味、术语繁多的学习方法,应该有一种更直观的方法来学习音乐理论。
It uses Tone.js to include little interactive pianos, guitars, and other demos.↳
它使用 Tone.js 加入了交互式小钢琴、吉他和其他演示。
I've done no marketing, it hit the HN front page for a day, and after that initial spike in traffic has been fairly consistent over the past 8 years.↳
我没有做任何营销,它在 HN 的头版登了一天,在那之后的 8 年里,流量一直相当稳定。
It uses Stripe for payments and for the first few years it was only Stripe. 3 years in I decided to add PayPal support...revenue doubled overnight, mostly from international customers.↳
它使用 Stripe 进行支付,最初几年只使用 Stripe。三年后,我决定添加 PayPal 支持......收入一夜之间翻了一番,其中大部分来自国际客户。
