Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
Built a basic plug and play developer portal and API gateway at the beginning of the lockdown.
You can expose your APIs to third party developers by adding your endpoints, choosing the type of authentication and setting rate limits.
The app takes care of provisionimg API tokens and tracking requests. The documentation is auto generated from the swagger file.

Ask HN: What's a side project you built to make money that hasn't?
More than 6 years back, I left my job without any idea of what I'd do. I just couldn't work anymore and leaving was the priority.
After months of doing nothing much, I decided to implement a game (which I came up with in school, and had also created a basic version in college). I had an electronics background, so I did know programming basics and had to write Perl scripts at work. However, I didn't know much of Java (had a course in school) and Android. Somehow, over the course of a year, I made the app.
The main game idea I had in school was simple inspiration from tic-tac-toe. Make squares instead of lines on a 4x4 board. While writing the code, I was ever trying to make it impressive. So, I came up lots of choices - larger board sizes (up to 12x12) for both tic-tac-toe and the square ones, with blocking moves.
To monetize, I added ads. After release, I got about 0.12 dollars or something over few months. I just removed the ads instead of trying to salvage it. I had bought a domain/hosting, so financially, it was a loss.
In hindsight, biggest issue was UI/UX and not knowing how to promote. I'm still proud of the code I implemented for computer moves.
App is no longer on play store (because it stopped working on newer versions), but you can still see screenshots here: https://github.com/learnbyexample/squaretictactoe
I wanted to re-implement in Python later, started it but never finished. May be next year ;)
