Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
In 2006/2007 I built HTMLBucher, a C++ desktop application to slice PSD/image website designs made by designers to HTML.
In these years sites where made with tables, so for slicing a design I had to cut the images and fit then into borderless HTML tables.
I took 2 years to build it, and in this timeframe people started building sematic websites with CSS, and abandoning table-based designs.
I managed to sell 100 copies, for some reason 90% to India.
After some years without selling nothing, I open sourced it: https://github.com/RangelReale/htmlbutcher.
The good thing is that I REALLY learned C++ with this project, and this knowledge was the basis for my current company where I made a digitalsignage

Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
Back in 2010 I have worked in a support department and didn't have much experience with programming. One of my tools back than was Oracle SQL Developer[0] a java application that worked a little slower than I would like to on my new MacBook Pro at that time, so I tried to make my own client for oracle database[1]. I had some sales right after publishing to Apple app store, but the application needed bug fixing and that was reflected in app reviews. Very quickly I've lost an interest working on my app and shut it down. It felt nice to be able to jump start my sales for App store so quickly but the whole experience with Apple ecosystem wasn't pleasant. Close and locked down. I didn't want to invest my time developing apps for it.
