Looking for help in GPL project
The point is not about ideological debates, making money from GPL software is purely a practical business decision. Many people are doing it, see e.g. https://reacher.email/ (written in Rust btw).

Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?
I started with open-source.
I initially created https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists, after some years it got to ~50 stars and nice overall feedback, that's when I thought of a SaaS wrapper on top of it.
So a possible path is "idea -> open-source -> monetize". I find the first arrow to be easier to execute than a direct idea to monetization leap.

Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell
I run an open-source [1] email verification API, called Reacher. I managed to hit 10k ARR this year (1st year).
It's written in Rust, self-hostable, and does not use a DB of emails (like some competitors do).

Check If Email Exist
GitHub issues like this one warm my heart:
https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/issues/91
Identifying something that needs doing, especially when you have no idea how to do it, is a bold skill.
Too often have I seen engineers be reluctant to open an issue because they don’t know how to implement it, technically. I still do it, myself. If you need it then you’ll find a way.
The converse is also true: losing focus by filing tasks and procrastinating on features because you know how to build them, not because you actually need them to move your business / project forward.
If you want to know the "how?" as I did - code is here, specifically https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/blob/mast...
tl;dr, According to RFC 5321, `RCPT TO` command succeeds with 250 and 251. So email is valid if you get to this part of the protocol and receive the response.
On your site (https://reacher.email) it shows "Open-Source" next to the MIT logo. To any reasonable person, that means "it's licensed under the MIT license". Instead, it's licensed under the AGPL. It would be good if you changed it to remove the implication that it was MIT licensed.
That's what this project does too: https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists/blob/a052...
This feels like a service that would be used by shoddy email marketers and spammers to reduce the number of bad emails they send, so that they can avoid being blocked. Their home page (https://reacher.email/) mentions lists uses like cleaning "large lists", which comes off to me as code for "send mail of dubious quality without tripping alarms".

Show HN: Text Lambda, a versatile notebook for your personal data
this certainly could be useful for me personally, but it would need more functionality. I think the _full_ project could be very useful though. however i would ask, how is this different from e.g. https://standardnotes.com/ and other note systems available ?

Evernote will restrict free users to 50 notes starting December 4
I've been using Standard Notes'[0] free tier for a while now without issues. Far superior to Evernote. And apparently EN uses your data for machine learning so they can monetize their free users. Standard operating procedure.
