Ask HN: Do people actually pay for small web tools? (ycombinator.com)
Hey all, there's a lot of web stuff and tools I'd love to make that I think would honestly be worth a small subscription ($5/mo maybe). I'm always a bit wary of approaching these ideas though because I feel like nobody would ever pay for small web stuff?

Ask HN: Are there any CLI only tools that are monetised (ycombinator.com)
I'm curious if anyone is aware of pure CLI tools that that are monetised, either by premium support or by offering a free and paid version. Majority I've seen are extensions of some sort of SaaS or desktop product (IDEs, testing, etc.)

Ask HN: Is anyone making money selling traditional downloadable software? (ycombinator.com)
Curious if any HNers are running successful businesses selling desktop/downloadable software with a one-time payment model - not SaaS, not subscriptions. Something like the old days. How's the market for that? What's your experience with support and updates?

How to Monetize a Blog (Satire) (modem.io)
Maintaining a blog can be a lot of work. A single article can take weeks of research, drafting and editing, collecting and producing included materials, etc. It’s not unusual to seek some form of compensation for it, and those rewards require initiative. With a good monetization strategy, it can become a fairly lucrative venture.

One of my open source projects is starting to get a lot of traction (tens of thousands of users per month) without me realising. I built it a few years ago as a weekend project and promptly forgot about it.
