Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
being a designer, i share my experiments in UI and design on Twitter and some other sites. to present designs, i used to beautify them in Figma. this was a routine process where i would open Figma, create a gradient background for my design, add shadows, rounded corners etc. and export the image in correct size, so if i’m to share it on Dribbble I would export it in Dribbble size, for Twitter the size is different
this whole process used to take like 20 to 30 minutes easily. so i built an app https://pika.style to do all of that for me quickly
it started as a hobby, open-source and free to use project which i was building in public on my twitter(@thelifeofrishi). in a matter of time i started getting DMs on Twitter for feature requests
i remember a founder of a company wanted to have a certain feature, we discussed that and in the end i asked whether he would be happy paying for that feature, to which he said yes. i added the requested feature in 2 days and got back to him, he instantly purchased annual subscription and started using Pika. that was in February, 2022
fast forward to today, almost an year later, Pika now has 150+ paid users and makes $1,500+ in revenue each month. i’ve turned it from just a screenshot beautifying tool to a tool to design very customisable mockups and images. you can use it to generate images for your website, app, code, tweet etc. and to keep it more accessible, it has a free tier which doesn’t even require registration to use
i’ve also added a plan just for students and teachers so they can use Pika’s paid fearures at a very discounted subscription fee
if you’re a programmer, marketer, designer, no coder or work in the tech industry, i think you’ll definitely find Pika useful :)

How could I diplay screenshots of my projects better? Is there a library or other tricks? Using the snipping tool doesn't seem to be the best option
I use pika.style and I'd say it is the best screenshot application out there. It is a web app, simply drop your image and customize it.

Show HN: An app to quickly turn boring screenshots into beautiful images
Hola hackers! I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi) and I’ve been building Pika(https://pika.style), a screenshot beautifier app to quickly generate images for marketing, blog posts, social sharing and more.
Pika is a result of me spending too much time in designing screenshots in Figma, choosing the gradients, shadows, backgrounds etc. I thought I could quicken this process through a simple app.
With Pika, you can:
-
I created this app to quickly turn boring screenshots into beautiful shareable images in seconds, useful for creating images for blog posts, marketing, sharing on Twitter etc.
It is on Github here - https://github.com/rishimohan/pika, I haven’t decided on the license yet.

Ask HN: How did you earn your first $100 and first $1k online?
First $100: Thirty copies sold of Video Hub App
First $1,000: Three hundred copies sold of my Video Hub App
https://videohubapp.com/
Though I do donate $3.50 of every sale to a cost-effective charity so in theory I made no money for a while until I bumped the price to $5 / copy.

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
semi-on-topic: I created Video Hub App that is like YouTube for local files: shows you a gallery with scrub-able (preview on hover) thumbnails. But does not work streaming videos to TV / tablet - only for local consumption. Hope someone finds it useful.

Generating Income from Open Source
I created Video Hub App which is MIT License

Python GUIs
"The problem" might be that people in this thread and others get frustrated because others have different goals than them.
Of course Electron is overkill for a single-button application. But Visual Basic is absolutely going to be a headache if you want a custom GUI.
Pick the tool that's right for the job!
I build this with Electron: https://videohubapp.com/

Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
Simplest File Renamer - https://www.yboris.dev/renamer & https://github.com/whyboris/Simplest-File-Renamer
I wanted to be able to quickly rename files with my text editor (using keyboard commands), so this lets me do it. Plus I share the app online for free.
Video Hub App - https://videohubapp.com/ & https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
I started it just for myself, but it ended up so good I spent several more years improving it as people kept buying it (up to almost 5,000 purchases since I started).
Also wrote a couple of dev tools for myself (sharing via NPM too) - https://www.yboris.dev/

I've been data hoarding for 25 years. I have a bajillion hobbies. It's hard to stay organized.
I created Video Hub App: https://videohubapp.com/ - it shows screenshots from videos as you scrub/hover across the thumbnail.

FFmpeg 6.0
I've been so frustrated that FFprobe functionality is not part of FFmpeg.
My app extracts screenshots from videos to create a beautiful gallery of videos. But even though I include FFmpeg already, I need a 50mb FFprobe executable to be bundled with my app just so that I can determine the width, height, duration, and fps of a video file! What is it that FFprobe does that FFmpeg couldn't do with a few extra pieces of exposed API?

Those making $500/month on side projects in 2023 – Show and tell
Created Video Hub App (that will be 5 years old next month). I sell it for $5 and $3.50 of each purchase goes to the cost-effective charity Against Malaria Foundation (See GiveWell.org for details).
It was averaging around 100 purchases per month, though it's lower over the last year as I've not had time to release new updates (moving to another state is challenging).
https://videohubapp.com/ - Think of it like YouTube for videos on your computer. Browse, search, and organize your videos

Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
Built Video Hub App that almost 5,000 people have purchased. I was a math teacher, became a web dev 6 years ago, built this 5 years ago. Most proceeds go to charity. Very minor by comparison to others, but I'm just starting out ;)
https://videohubapp.com/ && https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
What I did that is most impactful is that I've been giving at least 10% of my income to cost-effective charities for over 10 years now (see Giving What We Can - thousands of others do the same). This amounts to almost $100,000 given to charity which translates to thousands of people protected from malaria for many years of their lives.

Ask HN: What's a good business model for selling standalone software
My personal model for my commercial software: charityware - require a payment but made most proceeds go to my favorite (cost-effective) charity.
I'm getting about 100 purchases ($500/month, donating $350 of that) with my Video Hub App - https://videohubapp.com/ - which is also open source - https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App
I wrote about charityware a few years ago: https://medium.com/@whyboris/charityware-doing-good-with-pro...
