Ask HN: Do you have a side project to sell?
If you have a side/weekend project or an idea which you started working but no longer interested in it and want to sell then let me know.
A) Idea/Purpose of it. B) Current users/revenue. C) Asking price.
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2022 where @throwaway_19086 convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Core Principles for Independent Builders:
Participants share raw revenue figures, churn rates, and stack decisions that corporate PR never publishes.
Recurring answers reveal that distribution, not coding skill, is almost universally the rate-limiting step in developer businesses.
Practical recommendations on bookkeeping, payment gateways (Stripe vs Paddle), and freelance-to-product transitions.
Community Debate Themes:
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.
