  I hope you consider an open source model: code available freely on GitHub & app available for purchase on your website.

  I was scared about doing it this way, but it worked out for me: https://videohubapp.com/ for pay-what-you-want-$5-minimum for my app, and https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App git-clone-and-build for the code. I currently sell about 60 copies per month (same average across the last 4 years too).

• 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

  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.

  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.

  I created Video Hub App which is MIT License

  I also sell it for $5 and have sold just over 5,000 copies last month (5 years old app). Importantly, $3.50 of every purchase goes to a cost-effective charity, GiveWell recommended Against Malaria Foundation (see website for details).

• 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/

  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
  10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 Feb 2023

  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
  12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Jan 2023

  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).

• Ask HN: What is the most impactful thing you've ever built?
  33 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Nov 2022

  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.
