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?
When Twitch Prime was originally released one of the major issues was reminding people that their token was available. I built primeminder as a tool to remind people to renew their Twitch Prime subscription via email notifications: https://github.com/gravyboat/primeminder, the plan was to eventually advertise in the body of the emails once the user base was large enough.
The second was a remote job board like weworkremotely called remote-first. This was when weworkremotely was younger and I was pretty dissatisfied with the fact they didn't even support searching for jobs, it was just a messy list that was a pain to search so I thought I could do better to solve this.
Both projects failed.
