Ask HN: Alternative ways to make money with coding and system skills?
For non-AppStore apps like Lunar, I use the macOS SDK from Paddle.com. It provides trials, license activation UI, payments and checkout UI, both in-app and on web. Here's how I use it: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/Lowtech/blob/main/Sources/Lowt...
For App Store apps I have my own custom solution which uses https://github.com/IdeasOnCanvas/AppReceiptValidator to see if the app has been bought, and if it isn't, I have a time and usage based expiry logic. When the timer expires, I block key functionalities of the app and show this screen: https://shots.panaitiu.com/o6qnP8

Can I make a macOS window float over everything else including full screens?
This is how we do it for the brightness HUD in Lunar and for the app switcher in rcmd: OSDWindow.swift

I Spent 2 Years Launching Tiny Projects
I started doing the same but with macOS apps: https://lowtechguys.com
Reading about the author's projects in the past is actually what inspired me to do it.
I used Windows for a long time before as a power user (living my life in FarManager and WinAPI), then switched to Ubuntu with i3.
After finally switching to the Mac, I loved its simplicity and how it freed my mind from micro-managing the system, but I also noticed its shortcomings and how some things were better on Windows/Linux.
Nowadays I'm making small apps to overcome those macOS shortcomings, and help others find their carefree macOS setup where the system doesn't get in the way of real work.
And it's going pretty well! I've also shared the source of the framework [1] I'm using for these apps, so that I don't have to constantly reimplement payments, licensing [2], SwiftUI styles/components and utility functions on each new project.
