Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
This should be a regular feature on HN, somewhat akin to &quot;Who&#x27;s hiring?&quot; and &quot;Who wants to be hired?&quot;. Maybe not on a monthly basis, but it would be cool to see periodically on <i>some</i> cadence.<p>There&#x27;s a lot I could say on this topic, but TBH, I don&#x27;t want to go into most of it in detail Right Now for various reasons. The main reason being simply that the side project stuff I might want to call attention to is largely not in the state where I&#x27;d want people looking at it right this minute. And the reasons for that, in turn, are manifold...<p>The good news is, progress is being made, and I should have some projects ready to put &quot;out there&quot; kinda soon&#x27;ish. Yay for being vague, I know. But I&#x27;ve learned to be leery of making hard promises on stuff like this. So much shit happens that you can&#x27;t control.  See above about &quot;manifold reasons&quot;.<p>Anyway, we&#x27;re not making any money yet... in fact, we&#x27;ve been losing money since day one, but thankfully the amount lost is relatively small since our expenses are small. Nothing that I can&#x27;t just pay out of my $DAYJOB salary.<p>All of that notwithstanding, if you want a somewhat outdated view of what I&#x27;ve been working on for a while, see:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fogbeam.github.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fogbeam.github.io&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fogbeam.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.fogbeam.com&#x2F;</a><p>If things go well, this year will see lots of improvements to the underlying projects, videos, blog entries, and tutorials explaining how to use everything, and entirely new stuff not shown at the above links - as well as finally having everything available in SaaS form.<p>Sadly my backlog of &quot;ideas to implement&quot; remains far larger than my bandwidth for implementing stuff, so FSM only knows if&#x2F;when some of the stuff I want to do will ever see the light of day.<p>NOTE: the &quot;demo&quot; links you may find if you click through the above links are offline at the moment. I&#x27;m in the middle of a big infrastructure migration &#x2F; automation effort; moving a lot of stuff from Linode and &quot;other&quot; to OVH, consolidating DNS at Route 53, automating deployments with Ansible, etc. And one thing that hasn&#x27;t been done yet is to bring up the new demo server(s).
